Countdown - 5 weeks to go

I can now say the packing has officially begun! We're stashing our "stuff" into boxes, then loading them into a POD to be stored for the next two years.

I learned last spring through the help of two good friends with a lot of patience that it's ok to let go of things, but it's very hard for me. Dani and Devon, I am still in debt to you for helping me clean out the spare bedroom to make it into a nursery! However, I may need your help again, as I had to talk myself out of unpacking the Goodwill box in the middle of the night.

Dean is at my feet now, still learning to crawl. He scoots pretty well, but sometimes gets frustrated easily. You can see the determination in his eyes as he stares down a toy he wants near him on the floor. I've already been thinking about how best to entertain him on the 24 hour journey to Shenzhen, China. He'll turn 9 months old the day we depart. Any suggestions?
