Happy Halloween...Stuff..and down a day.

So we went out and bought a few things that we need for our upcoming travels. Here are a few pics of some of the items we have bought.

(These suitcases are huge...I think we might be able to sneak our

little guy in one and bring him home our first trip.)

And...drum roll please.....we are at 16 days.

Today we went and had our last set of shots. YiPpEe...so glad that is over. We ran a few errands and bought a few more things for our upcoming trip today. We are waiting for all of the cute kiddos to come to our door. I cannot wait until we get to spend Halloween with our little guy. Tonight we are going to book our Paris hotel. Another day down...17...17 can you believe we are almost two weeks away.
