Wow I was way behind on yours! Glad to hear your brother made it home without having to have surgery. I think I knew that from FB, but glad to hear it here - especially after seeing all the other issues he has weighing him down.
Love the pictures of the boys when they were little!
I tried to convince my husband to just let me stay in Florida - I figured I could use points for a cheap studio somewhere, then would sneak in to the corner of some of the DISers who have trips coming up. Rosie's down there now, you are heading there soon....I think I could have stretched my points out for quite awhile. Enjoy your trip!!
