my brother-in-law. I remember when Brian and I were just dating, we went to his youngest brother's wedding (Brandon and Vivian) and Brian's older brother, Brad, came with his wife and kids. They had their huge SUV so packed and crammed with stuff and then a car topper, it was CRAZY. I swore then and there, that I would not be like that when I had a child. Vivian and I made fun of Brad and Wendy, to their face and very often. I have now become Brad and Wendy. I have just finished packing for our trip out to Arizona. We are going out tomorrow at 6:40am and we get back in the afternoon on Tuesday. We are going my a pottery convention and we are staying with Brian's parents at their apartment. Jim works there now and comes home every 3 weekends. Jeanette is out there this weekend to be with him for their anniversary and hang out with Brian and Reagan while I am at convention.
I have a huge suitcase, packed full to the limit and then Brian has a suitcase. Then we have my carry-on/backpack which may weight about 100 lbs and we may not get off the ground because of it. Brian has a carry-on/laptop and then Reagan is bringing her quack-pack, which I am sure one of us will end up with. We are bringing a stroller and a car seat. I have packed her sound machine, food, diapers, silverware, cups, swim diapers, clothes, wipes, medicine (God knows she'll need it!!), coloring books, a dvd player with movies, crayons, toys, socks, shoes, and I am sure 100 other things that I forgot to mention. Goodness, what a mess we have become. Wish us luck and pray that the airlines don't lose our stuff, I may die without all my crap!!

Have a safe trip, quite the world traveler that little Reagan is. Most girls come with a lot of baggage, Reagan will be no exception!!
LOL - good to know we're not the ONLY ones. We leave for San Fran on Sunday (a FAMILY trip made possible by WB's liberation from the daily grind) - I'll be attending a Google Summit on Internet Marketing for the Travel Industry (super nerdy - but I'm WAY excited to see the Google Facility)...
Anyway, I'm just STRESSED to the MAX trying to figure out HOW in the world we're going to make it...there's just SOOO much to pack and I haven't yet learned to prioritize and now Loki is eating real food (that we usually make) so I have to pack that too - except that I think we'll be at a hotel near a grocery store - SHEESH - it was SOOO easy when it was just the two of us...but I can't imagine our live without that MISCHEVIOUS little man - who can now sit up (mostly on his own)!
