DDA Chapter 27

[my3princes]

Back to work tomorrow. Vacation was okay. We realized that we have turned into vacation snobs. It didn't live up to Disney or a cruise or a tropical island. Heck it didn't even rate as a campground we'd like to go back to...ever. It was clean and we spent a lot of quality time together as a family. My parents and Brother and his family went too so having no disagreements between 11 people is always a good thing.

 

[my3princes]

Lots of trips in the works

Theresa it's good to hear that your job is working out. It's been a long time coming.

Good morning.

Not sure what we'll do today, other than a dance lesson and hit the grocery. I need to start getting the kids old fall and winter clothes hung and tagged for our weecycled wardrobe sale. I can't believe summer is winding down.

Deb, I know what you mean....I've certainly turned my kids into vacation snobs. I was talking to Alyssa about going to Yellowstone next summer, and staying in a cabin. Her response: "with no satellite???"

Good morning, DDA!

I understand the vacation snobs syndrome!

I knew that all of you would understand my analogy

Caleb is doing great. Yesterday when Steve and Michelle went to visit him, the monitor showing brain activity was way high for the whole three hours they were there!!! She is hoping to be able to hold him tomorrow.

That's fabulous news. Just what I needed to start my day off right

Terry - Congrats to you all! Caleb is adorable. He looks healthy and strong. I'm sure everything's going to turn out wonderfully. Prayers continuing.

Deb - Glad you had a good time. I find myself always saying "I could do Disney for the price of this!" when we're looking/visiting elsewhere. :rofl:

Theresa - I'm so glad your job is working out! Phil's is finally too. After being told it was 40 hours his first week was 24 (of which they cut 8), second 10 and this week 22. So far he's worked an extra 6 on that 22 so maybe construction is getting back up to speed. Next week he has 32, which I can certainly live with.

Debbie - Loving the pictures you've posted from Amber's wedding lately.


We had a good camping trip this weekend, even if it was hot. Despite near 100 temps, there was a breeze on the river that made our canoe trip pleasant even! The kids had a great time! The only problem was the burn ban as a result of current drought conditions. It applied to wood and charcoal we knew, but as we were starting dinner the fire marshal came by and said no gas grills either - no open flame at all. So, we cooked dinner for 35 in 3 tiny kitchens running food, pans and utensils back and forth - I'm hoping we left each kitchen with it's right stuff in the end!

Good morning.

Terry, he's just beautiful. : Glad to hear that everything appears to be fine!

Nicholas joined Boy Scouts last night. He has a few friends in his patrol, and this troop is very active, with at least one overnight trip a month. I think it will be good for him!

I'm hoping the storms stay away until at least 3pm today, so we can get in some time at the pool.

Good morning, DDA!

Hey guys! Remember me?
It has been a long time since I got on the Dis, but now that we have a trip coming up in February, I need to get back on to familiarize myself with Disney!

And so it begins. You will be sucked into helping, then maybe asst den leader then...

I hope he loves it as much as my older boys did.

Good morning.

Deb - Nah, I can say "NO!" Besides, his dad can do it.

Tom - It's good to see you back here. Have fun planning!

 

[PNO4TE]

OK,friends... a while back we were discussing a young adult series of books that I had not read and you all recommended it highly. I said I was going to try to get them and have a go at finding time to read. Well... I can't remember what it was!! Anyone remember?

Mommy and Daddy got to hold Caleb yesterday. Now she is waiting to be able to start nursing!! It is amazing how big he looks in the first pictures but when I saw the picture of mommy holding him, he really looks small. He weighs 6lbs.

Once he is done with the antibiotics, he will be able to go home which is probably tomorrow.
