Oh, Baxter! You are my little gentleman! I will take you to foggy London town... (155)

I was just reading Kristen's blog and she said she only has one month to go until their baby is due. I looked at the floating baby on the side and it indeed says, "Only 30 more days until I pop out of here". That got me to thinking...I headed back to my own blog and looked at my constantly ticking alarm clock on the bottom. I only have 30 more days until I pop out of here. I didn't forget that I was going, I just didn't realize how soon it was. Pretty much everything is ready. The hotels are booked. We've had the train tickets to get from London to Paris for about a month. Things with the kids are sort of settled. I guess I need to really figure out what to do with them. I do still need to get a suitcase for myself and figure out what the weather will be like there so I know what kind of clothes to put in it. We gave Ryan one for his birthday because the one he has is kind of trashed. You'd think that when I was buying it yesterday with the intent of him using it for our trip, I would have thought to myself, "Wow! It's only a month away." No, I didn't think that. I just thought, "I'm amazed I remembered he needed one." I was having a bit of a hard time trying to come up with something to give him.

On to his birthday. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I really love Red Iguana . That's where I took him for dinner. I asked him where he would like to go and when he said he didn't care, I told him we were going there. If he wasn't going to decide, then we were going to a place I love. He says that he eats out so much that everywhere seems the same to him. Poor boy.

P.S. I still love chocolate covered cinnamon bears and I just ate 4 of them for breakfast.

I wish, I wish that you could pack my not so skinny butt into your suitcase and take me with you! I know I'm not supposed to covet (man I have to repent again) but I am WAY jealous! Paris is my DREAM!! If I had a suitcase I would let you borrow it--but I don't.

I was blog stalking yesterday, as usual, and someone else posted about loving chocolate gummi bears!

And I am very jealous. I haven't really traveled much, and it's something I would like to do more.

Oooh, that actually sounds like a really yummy breakfast. It is amazing how life gets going and the time goes so fast huh? You will be on an airplane before you know it!! How fun!! I hope you take tons of pictures because that is most likely the only way I will get to see Paris and remember the art exibits, Ryan will probably complain but make him go anyway...you know he will actually love it even if he does make a fuss.

If you need any help with the kids, I will do what I can!! :) I'd be so dang excited to be going on a trip alone with Billy that I'm sure I'd be packed by now. The furthest Billy will take me without the kids is Wendover!!
