Mandy and Nora are leaving tomorrow for Indiana, and will be gone for a week and a half. This is the first time I’ll be away from Nora for more than a few days and the first time in a decade that I’ve been away from Mandy for long.

We’re having a nice lunch today before she does all her last minute errands. I’ll miss them a lot, but will use the time to teach myself some new programming tricks.

We’re heading to Indiana!

I’m actually twittering the trip and am currently in the car on the way to Elkhart, IN.

I’m really excited about our upcoming visit. My parents are coming, and they’re bringing my niece Karoline. Mandy and I technically have vacation days this week and next Monday, but I’m not sure, yet, if we’re going to be able to take them. Our work schedule has been rough lately, but they have been good enough to bar us from the office on weekends after a particularly long streak.

To prepare for the visit, we picked up a really expensive steam cleaner and went to town on the carpets. Mandy did the lion’s share of the work while I kept Nora out of the way. Thanks, Mandy!

We haven’t seen any of them since the holidays, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them play with Nora, since she wasn’t walking back in December, and she now communicates a lot more than she did.
