Here is Micah's pile (which has since been moved to Micah's bag) -
Yeah - I think it's obvious that I have a thing for stripes. I really didn't know this until I looked at this picture. Scary. Hope Micah likes to sport the stripes because it looks like he won't have much choice.Since the bags are out and packing has commenced, the dogs are pouting a little bit and not helping at all with the packing-
They don't know it yet, but their Uncle Rob is watching them while we're gone, so they won't have to leave the house and we know our home is being taken care of. He is going to take them to the doggie hotel the day we get home so we can have a few days to readjust before introducing Micah to the entire family. :)Back to packing...
P.S. GREAT NEWS! Kevin just called and he got a promotion at work!! YAY KEVIN!! I'm so proud of him - he works so hard and he really wanted this promotion - he deserves it! :)
Awesome. To answer your question about carrying the money. I carried it all in my money belt--the kind you wear around your neck. I kept that days money more accessible so that I didn't have to get into the money belt. I felt completely safe in Ethiopia. I have travelled a ton and Ethiopia is very safe.
ReplyDeleteWow. Sounds like you guys are more than ready to board that plane!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!! Let the count down begin!!! I'm SO excited for you guys!! Micah mommy and daddy are coming!!!!

ReplyDeleteI was there 9 1/2 weeks, and I think Mal had 1/2 that stuff, msot of which she outgrew and we left behind for the poor. Micah is going to be one stylin' little dude! :)
