Updates

It seems we've been in a whirlwind lately....

Drew and family left for a week-long visit to Disney World in Florida. The kids were just told they were taking a vacation and had no idea where when they boarded the plane. They finally found out when they landed in Orlando. The kids have called several times to update us on the great time they are having - from hot rain, alligators, and dining with Cinderella in her castle, to 'real' trips to outer space, the water park, 6-inch grasshoppers, Space Mountain, and, of course, the Tower of Terror. They're just having too much fun - best vacation of their lives, they tell us. Drew will return to his deployment in Qatar the day Sarah and the kids return here. That'll be a tough time for everyone.

On the homefront.... my dear friend Alice came back for another visit - her second in 2 months. We just didn't have enough time during her first visit. We took a quick day trip to Woodinville to celebrate another friend's (Charlene's) birthday and visit Molbaks - our favorite haunt.

We drove by our old house - shouldn't have done that. It was distressing to see how little the new owners have done to maintain it. But, we've moved on and LOVE our new place.

There's more, but that's enough for this time....
