Wow...I'm catching up, so lots to say here!
Steve is back in the US- but it'll probably be another week 'til he gets home. He landed in Baltimore this afternoon. .....Yes- but it's horrible because he's here, probably sitting in the Philly airport right now, but he won't be home for at least another week.

It's nuts......
Julie, I bet the wait for him and you after he landed on our soil to hold eachother in your arms was painful! Glad it is all over though!!!!!!!

No doubt your Easter celebration next weekend will be awesome and oh so much more special! Lots of adjustments for the family to go through in the coming weeks, but it's all good!!
Keep us posted on Alex's next surgury! What a special little guy!
We are back from Canada. I am proud to announce that Madison's team can now add INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONS to their resumes! .....

WAY TO GO MADISON!!
Congratulations!!

....the competition results....the girls did a great job.....They got Elite Gold, a 'Great Confidence' Special Award, and first place in the division! .....
So I have been spending a lot of my spare time searching public records. I have been trying to track down my dad (long story) and an old friend of mine, my best friend from elementary school.......I guess for now I'll stay quiet! (Why is there no chicken smilie)!
!!! Savannah !!!
That's AWESOME!! Congratulations!! 
I do hope everything works out with your sleuthing, Jen! I have to agree with Drea that you should reach out to your friend's family with an email. Don't be embarrassed that you didn't keep in touch over all these years....it happens to all of us. What matters is that you want to know how she's doing and let her know that you think of her!
....So right now I'm sitting at a computer out in Lancaster County, PA. My sister and I are at a scrapbooking weekend.....
.....Erin - can't believe the little stowaway is almost ready to make an appearance!!! I can only imagine how excited you are (and by this time how ready you are to deliver this baby!).
Hope you had a fantastic time on your scrapbooking weekend!! We certainly did a few weeks ago when we retreated to the heart of Amish Country, Berlin, OH.
I was going to say the same thing about Erin's upcoming event, including the word "stowaway"!
It's so strange to see many of you sharing events that we get to see come full circle. Like Sarah's surprise to mom and dad to us seeing her to her first b-day party coming up! Then there's Julie's DH leaving and
finally home as well as Alex being an addition to their family! Erin having a stowaway to us anticipating Kade's arrival with her. So many other things, too! One of the next major events is getting Amy and Dave posed in their wedding photos!! It's been such a pleasure to have you all share these special events with us!
He didn't cooperate as much as I had hoped, but we got a few good pics. He kept his hand and arm in front of his face and against his forehead most of the time. He has chubby cheeks and big feet!....
I noticed Kade's albumn on your FB page just yesterday. Amazing and awesome pictures! He's so sweet! What did the Madison and Chase say about them?
Just in time for Summer I got rid of my convertible.
...yet you have your new Odyssey

(Yea...sorry about that! That stinks!)
Look! Look! I got tagged!!!!


Just had to share.



YOU are so special!!
... I was trying to sell these Easter Thumpers since we were down to the last few. Well, I ask this guest if he was interested in a Thumper and he called me a Thumper Pusher! LOL! ....

OH my gosh! I was literally LOL reading that! Hilarious!
...Thought I would share with you all I saw fellow Dis Cruiser Tonya... lol Her family came down to San Diego for spring break.....it was good times to see her again

. It sucks living 5-6hours from one of your best friends!
Awe! Glad you got to see eachother for a good hug though!
