Getting Our Ducks in a Row

We're officially counting down the days until our getaway. Our good friend Jacky is getting married in Los Angeles and we are going to spend a good week with GK's family (and some of mine) while we're in California. We are so excited!

A little over a month ago when we told our families we were expecting Little Riss, we began scheming and dreaming, trying to find a time to go see both our families. It takes a little more coordination than it used to. Of course there are the basics of airline tickets and getting to the airport and not letting GK miss too much school. But then there are those extra things you forget about like a sitter for our car (since it has to be moved at least twice a week for street sweeping), a rabies shot for Reggie just to get him up to date, and so forth.

Well each day things seemed to come together a little more and now we're on the final stretch until trip number one. We leave for California this Friday afternoon, and although we love our little life in Brooklyn, a week of sunshine (we hope) and family and the sweet westcoast waves will be good for the soul(s).

Our last little duck is to get GK feeling better before we put him on that plane. We seem to have been trading bugs over the last couple of weeks and it has hit GK pretty hard this week and he's come down with what looks like pneumonia. So the race is on... four days and counting...
