Getting Ready For The Big Trip

It's just two weeks until we leave for Italy. Owen keeps talking about Italy: All planes and helicopters are headed there. He wants to go NOW. He wants to pack; he even has certain things that need to go.
We have all our reservations made (have for over a month now), rechecked, and infomation printed. I have stocked up on things we'll need for the trip. We have ordered another baby carrier for Abram (an Ergo) since the one he uses is just not supportive enough to haul a 33-34 pound boy around all day for weeks.
Abram has done a bit of studying Italian with Rosetta Stone.
We are set to be gone May 13 - June 1.

Now we just have two very busy weeks ahead of us. Here's what's on the calendar:

• figure out more about avoiding gluten and casein in Italy
• pack
• Abram's exams
• Abram's conference at Kalamazoo - he's giving a paper which is ready
• Abram has papers and exams to grade, grade, grade
• third Birth Circle
• get bills in order
• other things I hope I remember before the last minute!
