We are coming down soon

For those of you on the coast, we will be in town from Oct 8-15. We will be in touch with many of you soon to arrange for visits and playdates.

Ben is especially excited about getting to visit with his cousin Emma and friends Andrew and Tova. He's also looking forward to the Aquarium and Pumpkin Patch.

Laurel is still waking up a couple of times in the night, so at least I don't have too many concerns about screwing up her sleep schedule.

Unfortunately, Darren won't be able to make it down this trip due to work committments - he's looking forward to a really good sleep schedule for a week!

And me? I'm really, really looking forward to spending 2 hours on a small plane with 2 small children. At least no one will be sitting directly beside us (Dash-8 airplane seats are 2 by 2). Thank goodness for breastfeeding, portable DVD players, and mini packs of smarties.
