Packing, Packing, and more Packing

How in the world do you pack for 6 to 8 weeks, for a family of four, and when the trip is for the purpose of having a new addition to the family? This past week I have been trying to figure that out. To make it even more complicated, we are determined to only bring what we can physically carry, very difficult with an 17 month old who barely walks and a pregnant mom who can carry very little. Anyways, it is done. Everything is in suitcases and we leave tomorrow morning at 7:30. I am thankful to be finished with all the preparations and to finally be ready to begin our journey. We are also all getting excited about a new family member joining us in a few weeks. Tomorrow we have a day of travel, in order to get to the capital city. We spend four days there getting visas, then head this weekend for warm weather down south, where we will be delivering number three. What a time to be heading to warm weather too, we have been experiencing weather in the negative digits, Fahrenheit, here this week. It will be great to be able to get outside again. I will be sure to continue posting from the south, with pictures of us in the sun. For now I thought it would be appropriate to leave you with a recent picture we took as we were preparing to head to the market. This will be us once again tomorrow morning as we head out the door, but not for long!
