It's coming together!

I want to thank everyone for their kind comments, wishes and prayers. We are in overdrive. So much to do but there is an overall peace. We travel 5 days from now. We have tickets and lodging...well partial lodging, it will come work out, we just haven't taken care of that yet. I have a pet sitter, money belts and sling on the way from amazon as well as chargers and batteries for laptops and cameras. One of my colleagues at work has showered me with much love and advice. Teamir has a gently used deluxe exersaucer, a choo choo train to ride on, and some cute boutique-y outfits great for photo ops (her son is three and she was glad to pass these things on). Some other colleagues blessed me with clothes and aspirators, bottle brushes, etc. It was really kind and special. What a whirlwind...I got our changing table put together last night. We have Dave's son this weekend and a visit from friends scheduled on Sunday. Dave did something to his wrist yesterday so he is semi out of commission and I just got an update of my precious son. In the past month he has not only learned to sit on his own but pull to standing!! He has gained a pound and I must go shopping as I think he is too small for him clothes. His sister has taken to writing him letters. R is has a deep, old heart. I am savoring and for the most part not stressing.

Hope next week is a great court week!

Peace
