7. Driving to and from the grocery store! No more only buying what will fit in the bottom of the stroller!
8. Starbucks
9. Target
10. Toys R Us
11. NEW CLOTHES!!!
12. Winter! Snow! Sweaters! Boots! My baby in winter hats!

I am excited for you to experience all of that !!
me too. Ironically, one of the hardest to overcome will probably be #5. At least, it was for my sister after 2 years abroad. Funny the weird habits we pick up, huh?
number one all the way huh?

How exciting to know that you will be able to do,see, and hear all of that very soon!!!!
I love your list! I imagine there are things that you can't even think to list that are going to bring a smile to your heart when you get home! I can't wait to hear about them!
17. Visiting St. Louis
Hee hee hee, excited for you friend...
Very cool list. So, do you think you'll go on a shopping spree or will you be so used to not doing that, that it'll be difficult to. Of course, Christmas IS coming!
A year and a half later, and I still think twice before #5!!! But they all sound great.
