We're packing up the car and heading off to the wilds of 81 and 84, where we'll slowly but surely be making our way up to Boston. Well, hopefully not too slowly. And not too wild. There's a two-day shindig being held in honor of Dave's old advisor at MIT, so while he spends tomorrow listening to various talks and having a nice dinner out, Henry, Holly, and I will be hanging out with my parents and most likely driving them nuts. I'd say something about our current state of health and how maybe this time we won't leave them with unwanted guests, but I don't want to tempt the Fates, so, infer from that what you will.

We're all very excited to hit the road, but I think Henry's excitement has us all beat. Yesterday evening and this morning he was actively contributing to the "Pile of Things To Bring To Grammy and Grandpa's". He wants to share everything with them. I know he was putting some things into the suitcase on his own, so I'll be curious to see what we unpack.

Meanwhile, I appear to be getting more laid back about the packing aspect, because usually at this point I'd be throwing toys into bags, hauling stuff out to the car, getting our vanity case ready, packing snacks, etc., but instead, I'm posting here and working on a pair of socks for Henry. Personal growth or irresponsibility? Maybe I'm just getting better at doing it all in a much shorter amount of time, so I'm putting it off for as long as possible, until real panic sets in.

Since Jocelyn was so kind as to ask after it, I've taken pictures of the rag doll Henry and I made for Holly. I just need to download and post them, which I will do first thing after we get back.
