What a mess! We leave this Saturday for a FOUR WEEK TRIP...yes that's right folks, FOUR WEEKS. Can one even begin to imagine how much stuff one little family of three needs to take for four weeks?! Not to mention the number of diapers, changes of clothes, servings of formula and burp cloths we are taking on the plane alone...for a FOURTEEN HOUR FLIGHT!!! Hadley is being a good sport watching Mom & Dad running around the house with our heads cut off!
In other news - we can't wait to see everyone. We have quite the itenerary mapped out and hope we're able to make it all happen. Highlights of the plan: introducing Hadley to the three sets of Grandparents and three sets of Great-Grandparents that haven't met her yet (and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins), Spring Release wine weekend in Walla Walla, a huge Mother's Day bash at Andy's Mom's house, a baby shower I am throwing for my best friend Angela, finally getting to hold my other best friend Julie's baby Bennett, an overnight trip to Derek & MaryLee's beach cabin (finally) and last but certainly not least...a whrilwind trip through Seattle where we stop off at every good friends' house we can manage - we can't wait to show off our daughter! Whew, I am tired just thinking about it!
Each year KPMG hosts an International Ski Weekend for KPMG employees worldwide. Apparently it's quite the competition - each team must have at least one woman and one snowboarder (talk about handicapping the race, ha). In our three years here Andy has been dying to go but was never able to get on a team. Well this year, he finally made it! I tried to get out of him what place his team came in the race but never really got a straight answer...something tells me they didn't win :) But he did have a great time, enjoyed the beautiful Davos weather (even if it made for not so beautiful snow) and he came home with a scorching sunburn to prove it!
