Of trips and babies

Tomorrow night the kids and I will take a red-eye to Boston to visit both sets of grandparents… First time flying alone with three kids which should be interesting (to say the least). The amount of time required to pack for such a trip is truly astonishing and certainly not for the feint of heart. I finally cracked – apparently three kids is my threshold – and typed up a complete packing list on Sunday to direct my efforts. Very helpful I might add.

Baby L is 11 ½ weeks old now and has been sleeping through the night regularly for just over a week – perfectly timing this feat to coincide with her daddy’s absence. Love that baby!
She weighed 12 lb 8 oz at her 2-month appointment last week and is right on the cusp of outgrowing her 0-3 month clothes. This has been a focal point today during the packing process… Several of her outfits are so sweet (I especially love the one pictured below, given by my friend Courtney who hosted my surprise baby shower with the playgroup girls) that I’m sad to put them aside.

Stay tuned for a report on our travels when we're back the week of 11/16...
