Hello from (sunny) Florida

So we made it here alive (no firey plane crashes- but we do still have to fly home!) and fairly well. The flight down was delayed for over an hour- some "minor" mechanical thing- I didn’t want to know- with everyone just sitting on the plane at the jetway for the whole time. Thank god for the TV’s on JetBlue, they saved us! The turbulence on the way down did NOT make me happy at all, but we did arrive in one piece. So, that’s a good thing although we were over an hour late.

Christmas morning was a lot of fun. And you know I must be so burnt out cause the camera didn’t even make it out of the bag for any pictures! The big boys got some new Wii games, 2 additional Wii controllers with nunchucks, and the suprise gift was new Nintendo DS’s with a few games. They were psyched. Timmy got some good stuff too- an Imaginext castle, a pirate Mr. Potato Head, a cleaning set (he loves his friends), some action figures (thanks Aunt Maureen for the Robin figures- thank god you found them), a blue lightsaber and some various other stuff. The big boys also got a laptop from Grandma & Grandpa! I have to get that wireless thingy set up when we get back, but they can finally stop commenting complaining to me how they don’t get any computer time anymore (which is true, they don’t cause I always need it for pictures!) and get back into the Webkinz thing.

John got me a pair of boots I had asked for, and a car and home docking station with speakers for his MY ipod (which is the one I stole from him). Cool stuff! I bought myself some books and some frames too.

We are having a GREAT time in Florida. The weather is fantastic (80’s and sunny- sorry, don’t hate me. I needed it bad!) and we have been in the pool everyday so far. The big boys just went to the driving range with John and Timmy’s napping, so I’m going to go down to the pool ALL BY MYSELF for a little while (don’t worry, grandma is staying with Timmy). I already finished one book, Plain Truth by Jodi Piccoult- read the whole thing yesterday. I almost forgot how much I love reading since it’s been so long since I have. I also had an hour and a half of blissfull massage with Asela this morning. Vacation, baby!

I can’t access my email for some reason, so if you need to reach me about anything photography related that cannot wait until after the new year, leave me a comment on the blog. I will check in periodically.

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and that Santa brought you everything you wanted. Oh, and sorry no pictures until I get back. No way to get them off my camera to this computer. You probably don’t want to see pictures of the pool, sun, and beach with tropical waters anyway….
