I think we're all set to go.

I'm really excited, but nervous too. I just pray that we all make it safely since we not travelling together.

Sounds like it is finally here, Deb. Have the time of your life, starting with safe travels for everyone! I will wave at all the campers on the road as I look down from the plane in the morning. :wave2:

We'll be waving back. Have a safe trip.

I'm off to bed.
 
We met Bob at the mall near BWI. He was waiting for us at a Dave & Busters which I had never even heard of until this week! After a beer at their amazing bar we had dinner at a local brewpub and have checked into our Springhill Suites for the night.

Those of you traveling and looking for a little more than a room need to look into this Marriott-owned chain. WiFi is free and there is an indoor pool and workout room. The suite has a little kitchenette and living room/work area. The sofa opens up to sleep two. Through an alcove there is a King bed with a small walk-in closet and then a divided bathroom. This is very roomy and reasonable, in my opinion. We are paying $169 for the night, but that also includes our parking for the next 8 days. The price also includes breakfast, but we will be long gone by then. :(
 
2 good things happened today.

1 - I got my annual review/contract renewal. I get to keep my job for another year! :laughing: My salary increase is much more than I was anticipating, AND I got a year end bonus! :banana: Yesterday Momboss said they will NOT count the 4 days I was off as vacation, it was just paid time off. :goodvibes Have I mentioned how truly incredible and fabulous my bosses are?

2 - DH talked with the office manager today and she said they WILL count the day he missed as a paid sick day, so he isn't being docked for Tuesday. :thumbsup2

Because of these unexpected windfalls I ordered DH the camera bag he wants from Best Buy. It was on sale for $10 less than normal, and we had $15 in reward certificates, and it had free shipping. Not too shabby! Now he needs a tripod and then maybe he will hush! ;)
Wonderful news!!! I'm sure DH will be happy with his bag!

New album at Picasa, and a new post with some of my favorite photos, hands down.... if anyone is interested :)

Kyle's med-peds class is coming any time now, so I'm off for the evening. He's off the next 3 days, too. We're all pretty excited! If I'm not on a lot, have a great weekend! :goodvibes
What wonderful photos. Some of them really do show how small the girls are. I can't get over how alert the girls are. I too really loved the ones holding an adult finger and there is one with one of girls looking up at you that I just love! Enjoy your famiy time!


I think we're all set to go. The camper is packed, the house is clean, two kids are at my parent's house and the third is supposed to be going to sleep. Chris has been sleeping for a couple of hours now. It should be quick getting out of here in the morning. I have the last load of laundry washing now. Once it goes in the dryer I can go to bed.
You're going to have such a great time! :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: Safe travels!:wizard: :wizard: :wizard:
 

Well, considering that Peanut will make his grand entrance on either December 8 or 11 (the days my dr. does surgery), I need to get everything done for Christmas before then!

You could go to WDW for Peanut's 1st birthday!
 
Jennifer - Bob and Kristin and I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the pictures in your albums. :goodvibes We loved that fact that the Girls end up smooshed together. It is almost like they have little magnets in their tummies.
 
Elizabeth,
Sounds like you got some well deserved good news today!:thumbsup2

Jennifer,
IF we want to see pictures??? IF??? Of course we do!!! The girls are precious. I love the ones in the car seat..you really see how small they are.:goodvibes

Deb,
Have a magical & safe trip!!!!!!
 
So you guys remember the "graphic artist" who's grandmother rents the house next to us?

Today DH noticed there was child's dictionary in our milkbox so he was telling Lizzy how irresponsible she was for leaving the book outside and she tried to grab it away from him. So he asked her what was going on and she said there was a surprise in the book for him-which he didn't believe. There was actually a picture of newborn naked Joe in the book.:headache: So she knew she should never take a photo out of the photo album, she lied to DH AND she was going to humiliate Joe with it by showing it to the "artist". When I talked to her about it she said the "artist" told her to sneak it out of the house to show it to her. Lizzy will be punished as she's responsible for her actions but I am not looking forward to having to talk to the grandmother.
 
So we just saved $34.50 on our hotel cost for California. I know its not much but in this day and age of surcharges and additional costs it is nice to have something lowered.

I have so much to do before this trip and have not done much of anything, except gain weight.:headache: :worried:

I have 6 Plans of work to finish before Monday. I am supposed to meet with all 6 units before doing them, I have only met with 4, one of the 4 was just last night, the other was about a week ago. Makes things kind of difficult. I have been pushing since April to set them up, but they are dragging there feet. I am going to the one's day camp tomorrow and I hope to get info out of them. Monday I am going to one of the resident camps, when they are getting written up I do not know or care.;) Not really but the lack of cooperation has really made me dread doing them.

I hope to have a good time at the day camp tomorrow, but the are my most frustrated unit, so it may get interesting.

Hope all of you are having a great week.
 
Hi Mac,

It is good to see you posting. Your family is beautiful.

I suck at remembering, but Stephanie and I always knew we were twins, but we now know she has blonde some where in her past!!!:lmao:

We are the comic relief here with our travels and fun going to lunch or at work.

Keep posting.

:cool1: Yay for saving money!

Hope you have fun at day camp and get done what you need to without too much trouble!:wizard:

:rotfl: It would appear they do! Poor Avery, we always touted her as a bully in utero, but she really just liked to cuddle with her big sister! :goodvibes:

Hello, Mac!
Sorry to hear that your have been laid off! I hope a new job will come your way soon! :wizard:
I enjoy seeing the pics of the kids and reading about Aidan's triumphs! I hope Mya's surgery goes well! When do you go to Galveston?

End of July.

I love those as well.... I really love several from those few days. I guess when you take hundreds of pictures, some of them turn out really well! :rotfl:

Oh, that doesn't sound good at all. How old is this "artist?" Maybe I've been watching too much SVU, but I'd be a little worried. Good luck talking to the grandmother!
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments on the pictures! We're going to try and get some sleep, but I'm not feeling so hot. Also, both girls have been sleeping all day (literally), so I think we are going to be up all night. I hope it's just the beginning of a growth spurt, and tomorrow they'll be alert a lot more again!

Goodnight all!
