Practice Makes Perfect

If you don't already know, we are headed on a month-long road trip with Norman. We have been saving our pennies and dimes.



Alright, and our hundies.



We've been provisioning for weeks.





We've even had practice packing days.





(We also had tent practice, but it was about a million hots that day even though we got up at the crack of dawn to take advantage of the coolest part of the day. Therefore, I did not take pictures.)

By the time you read this, we will be making our way across the country with the cats and we will have lots and lots to share!  Get excited!

Eddy charged manfully across this suspended rope thingy (which may or may not be for babies).

Sometime when we are hanging out having beers, ask Eddy about these hats. He has a strange fascination with them.

Adieu, Dream House Sunshine Fuzzy Bunny

We absolutely could not have asked for a better first house.





First house, first love *tears up.*
