Thanks so much. We just got in from the pool and I am just too beat from the sun to even think about dinner, but know that I have to. I will try to keep up with all of you and thanks so much for the welcome. We live in Greenwich, where are all of you from? It is me and dh, my older daughter Kaitlyn (who is 13) and our quadruplets who are now 9. Well, off to figure out some dinner, before the kids turn on me.

Hi, I'm up the road in Westport. I'm Ed. my dw Beth and DD Caitlin is 11.

Thank you again for the welcome!!

Ed, it is nice to know of a family on this cruise that lives so close. We often are in Westport, perhaps our families could meet up sometime prior to the cruise. Possibly some shopping at the outlets maybe?? Or dinner? We have a Kaitlyn too, just a different spelling than yours.

Loved all the pictures too, we have not yet been to Vero. Looks very cute. I noticed the girls are always dressed the same. I loved it when the quads were smaller and I could get away with that. Now, they have their own ideas of what is "cool". So very cute though.

Thanks again, we are off to the water today. Have a great day all.

Sandy

The driving is going good. almost got into a collision while at a stop sign, some guy decided not to stop behind me so he drove right next to me crossing over the double yellow line and almost getting into a head on collision with a car coming in the opposite direction. i didn't see him so i decided to move and then he cut right infront of me, with no warning, and i almost hit the side of his car, but i jamed on the break. then i looked infront of me and the same car ran a red light almost getting into another accident. then yesturday i was changing lanes and i saw a car in the left lane, the lane i was changing into, behind me so i judged and went thn all of a sudden i hear a car honk its horn, he was in my blind spot as i was going into the left lane. i told my mom i am staying in the right lane from now on!!! LOL so i have drivers ed tomorrow so lets see how it all goes tomorrow LOL. i dont start school till after laborday. i dont know the exact date. i want to go back but at the same time i dont LOL. the reasons i want to go back is that i get to see all my friends at my regular school and at my other school, im a senior!!!!!(man it feels so good to say that LOL ) i dont want to go back because i dont want to wake up at 6:30 every morning to go to school. oh a side note, i decided to quit my high school kickline team. i decided to quit because the coaches got mad at me for showing up to practice late everyday because there were 8 people on my bus and i was the last person to get dropped off and there was nothing i could have done about it. and also i really had no interest in it anymore. and im going back to my dance studio so im happy with me decision lol. sorry if this is really long LOL

Wow, what fun pictures!
We just got back a week ago from VB, DCL, and WDW so all of those things made me sad (in a good way though, your girls are too cute!). Seeing the pics makes me think how I can't wait to get back, though sadly I don't know when that'll be. DH is leary of booking anything until after the babes come! I don't think I can make it though- we've always come home from vacation knowing our next vacation was within a few months. I've been very spoiled! Now he says that our next trip might not be til our cruise- over a year away!!! I don't think I'll make it! We took DD7 at 5 months and got really brave and took DD3 at 2.5 months so I keep telling him we can take the twins in March! He's not really going for it though Oh well, maybe I'll figure out a way to get my parents to go with me and the kids and Grumpy can stay home!

Samantha-

OK, your driving experiences sound NUTS!!! You are learning first hand how crazy people can be out on the road!

I can completely sympathize with you on the kickline. I quit my senior year too. I was getting fed up with a few girls not taking it seriously. They were ruining it for the rest of us who'd been with the team from the time it started and we had worked so hard to get where we were. So I decided to walk away and overall I am glad I did. That was one less pressure on my senior year. You are making the right decision if it's making you happy!

Hi All, just checking in to say hi! Wow the pictures from Vero look great Kristin - thanks for posting them. One day when we are finally DVC owners I would love to go there

All is well here. In the UK the children stay in school for most of July and then have until the beginning of September off school - my girls are too little for school but as DH teaches Secondary School (High School) we are looking forward to tomorrow as it is the last day of term!

Will try and have a proper read back through the thread and see what you guys have all been up to! Our house rennovation is slow but it is getting there - I so wish we could do it at the speed of Extreme Makeover Home Edition - i would be great for it to be done in 7 days but it isn't going to happen!

Anyway, bye for now
Mel

Love that ride, when Steve and I went a couple of years ago, Queen Latifah(I hope everyone knows who she is) was on the car ahead of us, with her entourage. That was cool to see her.
