The Caravan of Elephants

[billroper]

Ok, actually it's a Chrysler Town and Country, but it's going to be carrying enough stuff for an entire caravan of elephants. I left for Chicago about 1 PM, got back about 9 PM, with a full load of our clothes, baby things, and recording gear. I know it's possible to pack that van better than I did on either trip, which is good, because it's going to be a very full van when we head home. :)

But Gretchen got to spend essentially all of the time I was gone holding Kathleen, which was a fine thing, especially in Kathleen's mind...

You're recording on the road? Wow.

Hi Bill, I tried to e-mail you and Gretchen, but the mail bounced. I probably have an old address.

Congratulations!!!

And I suspect also in Gretchen's. :)

Do you have/ has anyone presented you with a baby swing? And how long will you have to stay in Madison?

I will have some hand me down baby girls clothes that Isobeal won't need anymore if you want them. I can bring them to ConFusion if you are going to make it. If not, I can bring them to Cap if we get to go.

Let me know!

I recall making some comment after our trip to Gafilk last year about there being three times as much luggage and the trip taking twice as long. Welcome to the club (and the amount of luggage that goes along with you and the kidlet does decrease with time, believe it or not!)

BTW, if you don't have something similar, I have a baby papasan seat that is available for loan (it worked well for David, and I'll want it again next summer for the next baby).
