Are Brian and Myrthe moving back to live near you? I think I might have missed a part of the story.
Have fun at the Twins game! I hope it will be exciting. Is Thomas going to the game, too?
Sorry... I can see where how I worded that would be confusing. Myrthe's parents have an apartment here in the Metro - her Dad works for a big corporation and he has an office here in MN and one in The Netherlands, so they keep a home in both locations. I referred to their apt as B&M's, only because they are staying there.
The "open house" portion of that statement was because they were having an open house type party yesterday... They rented the community room in the building, and set up camp... Then all of the extended family and their friends were able to drop in all day long and see them... MUCH easier than them trying to go out and visit everyone. It was so much fun -and worked out really well!
Yes... Thomas (and the rest of the family) will be at the game today... Josh's Dad, Step-mom, Myrthe's parents, Josh, the girls and I, BMT... It should be lots of fun! There's a reason we are going to the game... I'll explain below though.
Sound the trumpets I have arrived Lol How exciting!!! One of these days i'm going to own one of your awesome bags too!
Hi Cheeky!!! I am so happy to have you here and following along! There is no such thing as "being late" for one of my TRs.
Welcome!
I'm so excited to follow this TR! I'm planning a trip at the same time next year, also at POFQ, and I also started eating "primal" in May and have lost 20 lbs! I am really looking forward to not hating the photos of myself on our next trip and not being in pain at the end of every day.
Congratulations on your weight loss - you look great!
This is awesome! Welcome! I am so happy you've decided to follow along!
Congrats on your weight loss and your new healthy self!!! That is just awesome! I love eating Primally - it has changed my life so much. This trip was so awesome for that reason - I love almost all of the photos taken of me, and I love when I am editing Photopass - I am not looking to strategically "hide" myself behind all of the borders and stickers... Instead I am trying to keep myself visible. A total turn around from the last 2 trips! It was truly amazing, both how I looked and how I felt - even my stamina was amazing! By this time next year, you will be rockin' your own trip!!! Are you doing a PTR? I would love to follow along!
Caught UP!
It seems you were having a grand first day at Disney and you are having a grand time with the nephew!
Work is interesting at the moment at work. We're closed for cleaning and maintenance and part of that maintenance is carpeting the lobby and my office, which is directly off the lobby. I feel ungrounded.
And I've been sewing. Yeah!!!
It's always fun following along with you.
Hi Ruth! Yes, we had a great time both days!
I hope things are back to normal at work soon... I bet it will feel nice to have all new carpet there though!
Happy sewing! Whatcha been making?
Sounds like a busy but fun weekend! Yay for twins game! Fun times!
Loving all the photos of that little cutie your spending so much time with! <3
Squeeeee for almost being done with your PP pics!!!!!!!!!
Very excited for the Twins game today! It will be a blast, I am sure of it!
Yes, we are falling more and more in love with the little guy every day! It's gonna be SO HARD to let him go next week.
I am hoping to finish them this morning... I've been delaying my next upate, because I could really use them...
I hope it's okay if I join in here. A girls only trip sounds like so much fun! That is so neat that you ran into someone carrying your bag!
Of course it's OK - the more the merrier! WELCOME!
It is so much fun - I wouldn't trade these girls trips for the world... SO MANY awesome memories for all of us!
Yah - it was super cool to run into someone with my bags... Certainly put me on cloud 9!
We ae just back from our day trip to Epcot! Charlotte and I had our picture taken with Donald in Mexico - I had to jump in the picture because Charlotte didn't want to get anywhere near Donald on her own! We had a really fun day!
There is, or used to be, a Chevy's near Downtown Disney. We used to love to stop there before coming home but the last couple times we went, we didn't enjoy it, so we have taken it out of the rotation. I do miss having a Chevy's close to home.
Hope you had a great day today!
Sounds like you had a great Epcot day! We had a great time with Donald in Mexico this last trip... You'll see when I do that update though...
Love Chevy's... I didn't realize they were a national chain... That's cool! They do have good food, I've never left there unsatisfied - and with a few minor modifications, I am able to eat there - so I always like that.
Thanks - you too!
A couple friends say the same thing about Baby Jeffrey. They all love to hold him and I'm more than happy to hand him off!!
I'm just glad it's all done and everyone is glad to be back!!
Yeah for more family time!! Enjoy it all!
Hehehe... Well, if I lived closer to you, I would be one of those people too. LOL
Yah - me too... It's been a crazy first week!
**********************************************************
I had a great day yesterday...
I took Alli to work - there was a little bit of a mess with her schedule yesterday, but we were able to iron it out. Phew!
While I was there - I exchanged sizes for the Twins shirts I had purchased the other day. I was happy to have them all sized correctly now.
Then I came home and finished quilting my next custom order.
I changed and we were out the door to pick Alli up from work and head to BMT's...
Sadly - we took TONS of photos yesterday, but not one of them was on my camera. OK, OK - there was one... but only one... Josh and Brian playing pool - and it's hard to see...
We did a bunch of nice family photos - but they are all on Myrthe's camera. Hopefully I can get her to post and share those.
It was a great day... It was fun to see so many family and friends.
As the days go on, I am getting closer and closer to Myrthe... She is such a great person - I wish we lived closer. I love her family - they are so nice and genuine.
It's going to be very hard to watch them leave this time. Our next planned visit won't be until the summer of 2016... and it will be us going over there.
We've vowed to be much better about Skyping.
Today will be lots of fun! We are headed to the Twins game. This was initially our gift to BMT for their birthdays this year... but then we had a few add ons (Josh's Dad/Step Mom, Myrthe's parents) - which is totally OK... We are now a group of 12.
Aside from the birthdays - the other reason we are headed to a Twins game is that the stadium is an important one to our family... Josh and Brian's grandfather created one of the Twins logos, and it has a prominant placement in the new stadium... So, I wanted a family picture of all of us under it.
Then the newspaper article about Josh's grandfather and the logo - if you are interested in reading...

So, this is an imprtant game for us... An opportunity for Thomas to have his photo taken under his Great-Grandfather's logo...
It promises to be a fun day!
I hope all of you have a wonderful day today... Prayers and Pixie Dust to all of you!
