Three more weeks!

So I have started to pack.

I have realized that everything takes me three times as long now with Riley here so that is why I started packing three weeks before we are leaving. The house is an utter mess with boxes everywhere and Riley's toys strewn about. I've realized that she is quite entertained though by boxes and paper, BUT she does not like the sound of tape being stretched to seal boxes - nope, not at all.

We are so thankful that my mother offered to come up to help us move, this will be an enormous help! Chris and I have decided to move ourselves the 14 hours. We'll be renting a UHaul and filling it to the brim and driving our goodies south. I'll be in a rental car with my mother, Riley and two (hopefully well drugged) cats. It will be an ordeal, but I'm sure we'll have some great stories to tell on the other end. Our plan is to leave on the 30th and cross the border where they will x-ray our truck to ensure we are not smuggling anyone south and make it as far into Maine as we can. We'll then get up in the morning and continue to Rhode Island with hopes of having a dip in the ocean upon arrival!

Here are some recent pictures of Riley. She weighed in at 15 pounds 8 oz at her last appointment!
