The Mad Dash

Yesterday was the start of a mad dash to make sure everything that needs to be accomplished in the States actually gets done. First thing first, we went to one of those cheapie-type photo studios to get 6-month portraits for Ryleigh and decided to shoot some pics of RJ, too. RJ was melty for the first 10 minutes, then Ryleigh became the melty one. Those photographers were super patient and must have had some skills, given the challenges our children presented and how they still managed to get some good pics.

Then it was on to Carter's for jammies, lunch, Ram Book Store for some CSU gear, and back home. Playtime with Maggie and Mackenzie, dinner with Grandma and the Linnenburgers, and a 9:30 pm trip by Jip to King Soopers for those things we can't find in Japan rounded out our day. Today we are having the car super washed before it goes back into storage, and we'll fit in a business meeting, a pedicure for Amy, a post office trip to send back all our goodies, and more time with the cousins. I'm tired just thinking about it--or maybe I'm thinking about our long day of travel tomorrow.
