Great idea. But sadly, I have none. Zero. Absolutely not even one.

Derek, good luck with the kids with no Wendy! Hope they don't tire you out TOO much.

I'm not sure I even thought to take pictures of people on my last trip....Maybe I'll think of doing that on my upcoming trip....

I have pictures of weird outfits in New Orleans too. You see the most interesting people there.

I love it DJay - I think Santa might be the only one I have, but my friends on another thread posted some really good ones - I'll find those another day:

Thanks Yuki for the well wishes. I've been pooped the last 2 nights but thankfully, my parents are helping out. Next week though, I have to watch the kids solo as my parents get their turn to jet set to Kauai while I take vacation time to watch Tom & Jerry with the kids.

Hmm, Tom and Jerry with the kids, or jet skiing in the Hawaiian Islands??? That's a real toughie there!!! I can see advantages/disadvantages to both.......

Thanks Marv. My parents are actually too old (and not adventurous enough) to jet ski but they are "jet setting" to Kauai with my son and mother in law. And since Wendy took off this week to visit family in Hawaii (unplanned and last minute), she has to return to work early next week, so my planned week off has changed from: 1) a week at a summer Christian conference to 2) a week off in Palm Springs at the Westin Desert Willow resort where Jordan stayed twice (on our points) to 3) a partial week in Scottsdale at the Westin Kierland Villas (our second favorite location next to Maui) to 4) 3 days of staycation with the kids while Wendy is working and 2-3 days at our Palm Springs resort at the Westin Mission Hills.

Somehow, I got the "short end of the stick" because everyone else except Erin, Ashlyn and I got to go to Hawaii and take a vacation while I'm watching Tom & Jerry with the kids.

Dang, I guess I need to get some more sleep.....or maybe my appointment with the eye doctor needs to be moved up from September..... I was thinking your parents must be really hip to enjoy jet skiing!!! Color me

Not quite the same, but I got to stay home with DS13 while DW and DS17 got to go on a school trip to New York. I'm thinking I should get a solo trip to WDW soon to make up for it...

Oh, Dylan gets to go to Hawaii? So it's just Derek and the girls.

For some reason, I have this image of the three of you sitting at a tiny table, having a tea party with Derek in a sun hat and frilly apron

You know....I've never watched Tom and Jerry. I was more into Looney Toons

Mark 1 for Magic..... any other takers?

We're looking for something that would make Jordan say "Oh honey, NO!" You know, the person that wears 8 inch stillettos to the park, or someone who should appear in what not to wear, or someone that is wearing something that makes you go .

Ok. Who's next.

Yes - picture the scene from Toy Story and Derek as Mrs. Nesbitt, having tea with Marie Antoinette and her sister... hee hee hee.

Hi all.

Just a quick update on the long lost Jordan... talked to him yesterday...

Overall he's doing well, he says it's hard but it's beneficial thus far so that's good... he was set to start work yesterday (taking apart cardboard boxes and taking them out to the trash area) and I think he's set to work several days a week... here's a little chuckle for you all... he will be working (secondhand) for... drum roll please... TARGET!!! The place he'll be working distributes exclusively for Target... so as he's taking apart the boxes, perhaps those will be ones delivering travel sized items to a Target near you... ha ha ha. He had to have a little laugh at that fact. God has a sense of humor, I tell you.

Here's some news and info from him:

Phone privileges have been adjusted for his dorm - only allowed phone calls for the time being on Fri, Sat, Sun (no later than 8pm PST on Fri/Sat; and 7pm PST on Sun). So as before, he'll mostly be calling out and then having people call back, but just a heads up on the timing of calls going forward.

He'll be working 6am-6pm Fri/Sat so most likely Sunday will be his best phone call days.

Foodie items preferred: Chips are definitely desired (since they're expensive there) and non-perishable, microwaveable items... like those cup a noodles, Campbell's Soup in Hand, stuff that's generally pretty portable to store, cook, eat, nuts, snacks...

On a more serious note, he said that he's really felt God working in him these past days... before he left, during the prayer time from the church, several words were spoken for him, but one key one was God's Hands of Mercy (or something about mercy) and he's really felt that people know about the grace aspect of God but not so much the mercy part (grace being getting something you don't deserve, and mercy being NOT getting something you DO deserve)... and so he's really been dealing with that aspect a lot lately.

Anyway, that's the deal for the moment... oh, and also - postage stamps have been hard to come by so I'll be sending him some and then he can start writing you guys back (he'll also send me a letter - with more details than in a phone conversation) which I can then post to the boards. So it'll be like he's writing to all of you...

But he does appreciate all of you. Thanks so much for your kindness!

Talk soon!

I thought everyone knew you would get tangled in the ropes if you tried that!!!! Sheesh Dan........

You can quadruple stamp a double dutch ditto, but only if you do it while playing UNO!

 

[YukiPhnx]

Uno has ditto? I miss playing that game and backstabbing my friends

Anyways, thanks Wendy for the update! God sure works in mysterious ways, having him work for Target.

Also at the Toy Story scene with Mrs. Nesbitt. I was actually thinking of that!
