Ready to go

There is a lot of excitement in our house right now, because in 2 days we are leaving for our 3 week journey on the mainland! We are all very excited to spend time with our family and friends (and to SHOP & EAT!!! haha)

Noah is so excited that every day for the last week (at least) he has asked if it's time to go on the big airplane yet.  In fact, on Saturday it was the first thing he said to me when he busted into our room at 6:30am!

He insists on dragging a little suitcase all over the house and constantly asks if it's time to get it ready for our trip. We've had to load the suitcase in the back of our car a few times when we've gone to the store or out to eat, too :-)

Friday morning we were waiting for Ely to stop back by the house before heading to work (he had to turn over after being on duty) and Noah insisted on walking down the street to meet him like this:

He's also started carrying around an empty cardboard laptop box along with the suitcase...

We can't wait to see you all soon!!!!! (Well, those of you in Phoenix, Kansas & Nebraska. We wish we had the time and $$$ to see everyone, but I guess the rest of you will just have to come visit us in Hawaii ;-)
