I got it Elin, great pictures I just needed to refresh my browser.

I am sorry it is not working for some of you. I don't know how to fix it since it does work for me!

For those of you who have had items (backpacks, lunchboxes) monogrammed, have you done it First Middle Last or First Last Middle for block letters (all the same size)? I know traditionally it was last name in the middle, but the lady at the monogram store told me the "new" trend is to do the initials in order?

We do the initials in block letters for the boys and in order.

UGH!!!!

I can't believe this -

next year my entire family and our in-laws decided to take one big trip together - we found a date that worked for all 10 families!! We were so excited

so today - my MIL calls - Steve's cousin planned his wedding for during the vacation - and it is a package week so it isn't like we can just go a day later than everyone else- well we can - but we lose the money and there is a program so we will miss the beginning -

so now my in-laws can't go at all and Steve will probably stay home and go to the wedding and fly down to meet us while I take the kids for the beginning

I am upset on so many levels - I am bummed my in-laws can't go; I am bummed I am missing the wedding, I am bummed that I will have to drive alone 12 hours with my kids; I am bummed that Steve will miss some of our vacation

it is also at the end of the week that he will be at his DC conference and we had decided that the kids and I would go with him and then head straight on vacation and now we can't do that!

They could have picked just about any other date and it would not have mattered!!!!

Elin -

Great pictures!!!!

Tammi - should I call DC Ducks - cause I have no problem doing it for you!!!

Why doesn't that surprise me? And after you got that news guy to practically write a retraction, who knows what you are capable of arranging!!!!

Kate, I am so sorry. I know how frustrating this is for you. You were just talking about this the other day. Did the cousin not know that everyone in the family was taking this vacation? Is it set in stone?

Did the cousin not know about this trip? Is it possible to change the wedding date? Let's put the power of the DDA to work to see if something else might be worked out!

UGH!!!!

Looks like we're sharing the brain tonight, Tammi!

Ah, I get it. What happens in DC stays in DC, right

We want to know about you and the duck man.

All this talk of turtles and ducks. Is no animal sacred anymore?????

Nothing! For some silly reason Kate seemed to think that the duck man, as you call him, thought I was cute. She said he kept looking at me. I however, didn't see it.

I like how you captured Steve down there checking everything out.

I loved how much Steve enjoyed everything we did those two days. What a trooper! I had no idea he was in the picture until after I had taken it.

The DIS is acting up for me tonight. I have typed this entire post twice and had to reboot my computer when I tried to post it. This time I am saving it in Word just in case!

Well you are cute so he probably was!

 

[Tammi67]

Oh geez. Thanks.

 

[tmfranlk]

I didn't want to leave the DDA girls!

What was I thinking??!?

Well, I guess I understand, but then I'm sure they wouldn't have minded.
