What an incredible list! I'm imagining a boatload of suitcases but I know you too well and then I imagine everything perfectly fitting into the smallest tote bag Mary Poppins style ;) The disposable camera is something I never would have thought of, but it's genius! Oh, and did you figure out what size does Little B wear with the three shirts (also genius!)? I wanna make sure I pass things along if SB grows out of something she can wear! Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
