ALL CLEAN PACKED AND READY

Sammy is down for a nap, though for how much longer I have no idea. He's decided to re-do his whole nap schedule thing and I'm just along for the ride.

October is coming up quick. Normally I'd start packing now, but uh ... I don't have so many clothes anymore, and frankly neither do Jens and Sammy. If I packed now I'd just have to unpack and repack endlessly until the 9th. I am, however, beginning to hoard the necessities and tiny gifts for family and friends. I'm also trying to figure out how things will work with all the travel we'll be doing. That second week there will be killer!*

On the snot plague front I'm pretty much all better. I'm still having lingering ear issues but odds are that'll fix itself before the 10th.

*( The Schedule )

We have achieved plane fare! We wanted to be there for Xmas but it didn't pan out with Jens' vacation. We will, however, be in VA from Oct 10th until Oct 30th.

I know this is waaaay early but if anyone wants to get together please don't leave it until the last minute. 2008 was crazy, I had a freaking appointment book full of people and places to be and I still didn't get to see everyone. I really don't want things to be so hectic this time with the Pumpkin and all. Luckily, we'll be staying in PG for most of the visit, so there can be more time spent hanging out and less time spent driving.

Already on the schedule (at least tentatively):
There will be a couple of days spent up at Grandma's so Williamsburg shopping is absolutely still on the table.

At least one day will be spent with Aunt Jan up in Richmond.

Hopefully one weekend will be a hanging out with Liz weekend, if she is able to fly out.

At least one day will be spent up in Charlottesville visiting Dan and Monticello.

One day will hopefully be put aside for family photos.

We want to spend just one night somewhere without the Pumpkin. Maybe one of the Plantation B&B's.

With luck some places will be doing Halloween on Friday the 29th and I'll get to take pumpkin around, aside from Trick or Treating I'm not planning to do much that day since I'll need all my energy and wits to fly home with the Pumpkin the next day.
