Ready or Not, Here We Come!

Guy and I are flying to America one week from today! My super sweet (and generous) parents offered to fly us to El Paso for a few weeks, and after anxiously deliberating whether or not I could handle Guy alone for such a long trip, we decided to go for it! I've been praying fervently and daily for a smooth trip with the little wiggle-worm and asking everyone else to do the same. Poor Jonathan can't come with us because of work. However, he's already got plans in the works for a couple of crazy adventures while he's a temporary bachelor again. He's been recruiting his homies and brainstorming fun ideas. We'll see what they come up with!

Bonuses to my trip (besides three weeks of Mexican food and free babysitting): Two of my precious nephews will be in town at the same time! My brother and his wife will be on a babymoon (boy #3) and my parents are keeping their kids while they travel. AND, one of my dearest friends Meg, and her son Brennan, are flying into town for a few days to hang with us! Meg and I are both from El Paso and both went to Wheaton. Her son was born back in January, so our little lads aren't far apart in age and we're certain they'll be great friends :) She's a true blogger, unlike me who only posts every week or two, so you should check out her weblog: http://www.spicymagnolia.com/.

Here's a few shots of my little adventurer. We think he's so stinkin' cute. However, we're trying not to say it out loud as much since the boy's figuring out what words actually mean. If you think of it, please pray for our travel on Aug 22/23 and Sept 12/13. Thanks!
