This lovely paper chain is Jackson's count down to when we leave Dumfries for our month-long summer road trip!!! He is super excited because it means going to Mimi and Bampa's house and being the ring bearer in Uncle Larry and Aunt Michelle's wedding!!! Starting out with 27 days...
We had planned all along to make our summer trip to Chicago connect with Larry's wedding in Minneapolis at the beginning of August. We were thinking we would be gone for about two weeks total. Well, Josh was working hard for a whole day while my mom was here, and I was not allowed near the computer.
