After weeks of talking on the phone to Grandma and his aunties about playing on the beach in Hawaii, the day to take the suitcase out of the closet finally arrived! Cooper ran for the suitcase after each phone call saying it was time to go only to be disappointed that the airplane isn't leaving for two more weeks, one more week, 4 more days...
Finally, after much anticipation, he was able to retrieve his little red suitcase. As I was finishing laundry, he proceeded to pack himself, emptying the entire contents of his bedroom dresser onto the floor and into the suitcase. I can't tell if it's the beach he's so excited about or simply the packing! Anyway, it's finally time to go and we are all very ready for a vacation.
Now, if I can get a lease signed, keys delivered, baby announcements mailed, clothes clean, folded and in the appropriate bag, remember swimming suits, sunscreen, towels, camera... get sheets on the beds, dinner thrown together, children bathed and to bed and this house in some kind of order, then perhaps we'll head to the airport in the morning. Why is the process of leaving to relax for a week so exhausting? I'll be back in 10 days, and don't be offended when I say that I hope I don't miss any of you while I'm away. Catch up soon!

I didn't know you were going to Hawaii. We had a great time, but didn't take kids, so you'll have to let us know how it goes.
So does that mean you'll miss our gourmet group next week? (I'm sure rsvping isn't at the top of the list at the moment--don't worry, I understand).
And yes, vacation is a lot of work, not to mention the recovery time afterward. Anyway, have a wonderful time! We'll expect a full report when you get back!
