Nan,
Your series of pictures is so cute! How great that you started that tradition!

I remember years ago in Life magazine (I think) there was an article by a woman whose father had started the tradition of photographing her in one of her mother's bathing suits each year on her birthday. I think maybe the first one wasn't necessarily planned, but each year after that he continued. She was in her 20s when the article was published and they had the whole series of photos. It was so sweet.

I have a friend who did something similar with her two sons, taking a B & W picture of the two of them together on the first day of school. I saw the photos in her house once. Really a nice keepsake!

Priceless.

I remember a similar series of photos of a girl sitting on Santa's lap.

I'm not sleeping at night and I fall asleep at weird times during the day. I can't imagine anyone ever going over 50 lbs because I have the biggest size case you can take and it has heavy stuff in it and it is only 35. Maybe the scale is wrong. Something else to freak out about.

Really? You may want to check that scale....my bags are 50 lbs, one is teetering right over at 50.8, and they're nesting suitcases so each one is smaller than the previous one. They can expand so the biggest one we didn't expand since it was at 50 but the other two we did and amazingly they're all almost the same weight packed. One year our suitcase was 75 lbs...but since they had just instituted the policy they let us go (whew)!

Congrats Lisa and Darrell!

Lisa, I believe that on AA, depending on when the tickets were purchased, each person can have two checked bags.

Hey V, I am doing my on-line check in, says I can accept financial responsibility for anyone in our linked reservations, I think I can handle Haley's bill, can I have her?

Pj

sure - but look out, she is a shopper.
I tried to go to bed, but couldn't so....now maybe to watch some tv.

 

[LiserAnn]

We are also on AA.

Are you flying out of L.A.? S.D.?

Woody

Hi Woody-LA, on Friday morning, I think you said you guys are going on Thurs morning.

 

[LisaG520]

Lisa, that is cool, obviously this is a move you were looking forward to.

Pj

Sounds like you are happy so congratulations!

WOW, that's awesome!!!!!!! Great news!

Great news! Congratulations.

Woody

Congrats Lisa and Darrell!

Thanks everyone - we are very excited about this move (ok we will be once we get back from the cruise.)

We'll be living in Jacksonville - which is less than 7 hours to my parents/sister and qualifies us for FL resident discounts. Woo Hoo!!!

 

[LisaG520]

Hmm, just had a thought for those of you who are not packing enough already. I think I am going to bring a small pair of binoculars. Might be nice to have, especially going through the PC.

We are too.

they'll be plenty of room for that, don't worry. I'm done with the clothes, today it is about room stuff that I probably don't need. I'll be relaxed and laughing about this next week at this time!

That is crazy. I'll have to check the scale. I have a lot of heavy stuff in there like a fan, bubba mugs, hair dryer, all the pirate costumes, mexican outfits for the kids, gifts for the secret mickey and more. The case weighed 12 pounds before I put stuff in it

Wow, Lisa, what a big exciting change for you and your family. Congratulations!

Thanks!

We're leaving from LAX on Friday morning too!

Susie, that means you still have days to shop and pack! Have a smooth flight.
