Channeling John Denver

Her bags are packed,
She's ready to go...

Heading to Nana and Grampa's house tomorrow at the crack of dawn, it's her first time on a plane all by herself.  She has everything she could possibly need, and a few things more.  I raced out to Target again at 9:45 because I decided that she needed other forms of entertainment - so a J-14 (?) mag and a container of mentos, as well as a collection of silly bands with squinkies and a puzzle book are now tucked into her backpack where she will find them on the way to the airport. 

She's nervous about being with her grandparents without the rest of her family - and a little sad to be leaving her home. She'll be excited once she gets there though, and at her age, when a week seems like an eon, she'll be back before she really knows that she's gone. 

I, however, will be lost without her.
