Last weekend, Melissa's mom came up to watch Abby so that we could do some packing. We have most of the house ready to go. We need to do some packing in the office, but otherwise most rooms are down to just the essentials. The moving truck will come on the 14th or 15th (just over a week). We will then leave in the two cars with Abby and Melissa in one and me and Neko (our cat) in the other. Between the two cars we need to bring our clothes, Abby's Pack'n'Play and the remaining food. The movers should drop off our stuff early the following week and we will stay with my folks until that time. There is a slim chance that the house won't have it's certificate of occupancy when the stuff arrives. We are slightly concerned about fitting the last minute bits in the cars, so in an apparent fit of efficiency, Melissa explored the option of packing Abby in a box.
If you haven't seen our niece Sarah dressed up for Halloween, you should
check it out because she is adorable. We didn't plan on dressing up Abby until Melissa found a bandanna in a box of clothes from our friends
Chris and Laurie. So Pirate Abby wore it out to dinner on Friday night. We promise, she actually liked wearing it ... for a while at least.
Lastly, I was in D.C. for work on Monday and most of Tuesday. I got back in the afternoon in time to vote. It was a gorgeous night here (71 was the high for the day), so Melissa, Abby and I walked down to our polling place so I could vote (Melissa waited in line at 7 AM before work). I hear about people taking pictures each year on their kid's birthday, or the 4th of July, or some other repeating day. I thought it might be cool to take a picture of Abby each Election Day when we vote. Is that nuts? Can you tell we have been running ourselves ragged between work and moving? Anyway, here is Abby on Election Day 2008 (note, she has her "I Voted Today" sticker).
