our bags are packed...

We are ready to go!

Baby boy Luther could arrive any day!!! The official "due date" for baby Luther is only 13 days away, so full term little one could arrive any time. We are continuing our weekly Dr. appointments and are finishing getting our home ready for his arrival! Boat Shoes wins "dad of the year" award already with his installment of the car seat and coordination of car seat with strollers... both the BOB, which we adore already, and the Chicco keyft Caddy that is the perfect "snap" for our car seat.
