getting ready

Well, tomorrow we head out for our big trip ... just me, E, and Graham. I can't wait to show her sights in Chicago, and she is super excited to see Indiana and the place she was born! Gonna miss the little one a crazy amount, too.

Yesterday, E spent the morning on errands with her Daddy (even getting her hair cut), and we spent the afternoon running some last minute errands. This girl loves to try on shoes ... I mean, standing in front of a wall of shoes and searching out her favorites in her size. How did this happen?

I kept telling her we had to go, but she kept saying, "Mom. I just have to try these on. Just one more minute." I wonder if she'll like shoes this much in high school ...

her room with book shelves, books, dresser with knobs,

chair with clothes in it {ha!}, lamp and bedside table, chair, and toy shelves

her grocery store :)

sweet baby girl on the drive to Mississippi today ...

Don't let the dog fool you, she just tolerated the lovey blanket until

she fell asleep. She much prefers a paci in her hand as a "lovey"

and one to use as a real pacifier.

So, that's how we got ready for our trip {along with me staying up til 2 am to pack last night and Graham planning tons of food for our travels, but that's just details}.
