An early Christmas

We have been traveling for the past 4 months, so much of our stuff has been in storage for that time.  Last week we arrived back in North Carolina and will be here until we depart for our new overseas home on Dec. 29.  With less than 6 weeks left in the country, we pulled everything out of storage so we can re-organize, get rid of things we won't want in 4 years and pull out the things we want to take with us. 

A couple of days ago we opened up one of the boxes of B's toys, which he hadn't seen in the last 4 months.  It was so fun and a bit hilarious to watch him excitedly exclaim over each thing he pulled out.

"My water airplane! It's landing on the sea!" (pulls out his sea plane and "lands" it on the coffee table)
"My flipper!" (pulls out his Dutch slipper and tries to put it on)
"My police car!" (pulls out his Texas state trooper car) "There is a police car guy inside.  And a police car mom, too!"

Now we have to decide which toys are the favorites that we will take with us....we certainly don't want to fill up our precious space (6 suitcases) with just toys!  Although I know a 2-year-old who wouldn't mind that...

This is an old picture...but shows B enjoying his toys!
