well, i cannot believe it has been a week since my last post. as usual these days, it's been busy. my daughter finished her last week of preschool. it was a fun experience for her, but i think we are all ready to move on to something new. we have been preparing for a big trip. our first family vacation, with just the four of us, in, oh... ever?! we are taking a road trip... up to d.c (can you believe i've never been?), and then up further to ny. we haven't been back since we moved, and i am feeling oh so many emotions about seeing it and everyone again. i will be gone for two weeks. a good chunk of that will be out of the car, but boy am i little nervous. any of you taken a road trip with a 7 and 4 year old? i can remember the ones i took as a kid... somewhat fondly. mostly fond memories in hind sight. our motto (as parents) for this trip is... togetherness, patience, and low expectations. i don't really mean that last part negatively, i swear... just to remember to enjoy the little moments. i find if you don't expect grand things, you are pleasantly surprised by what comes. i'm taking my computer, so we will see if i can share bits.
i will keep the shop open but no shipping until i come back. be well!

oh have fun..(and good luck...saying this as we are ready to go on our annual 16 hour drive to see family in Milwaukee..) Line a wooden box with felt (like the melissa and doug boxes that toys come in?) and give them a small lego kit (legos don't slip and fall off their lap...has been the life-savor for those much needed moments of happiness in the car!!)
i'll miss you guys! but can't wait to hear about all of your fun adventures... give everyone hugs for me ;)
we try and take a road trip to ny, hudson valley every year, me and my two little adventures. they are of course 8 and almost 12 now. i think lots of times they would rather fly but we can't. i think and hope they will have fond memories of us road tripping to my home town. have a blast!!
