Where in the World Do I Start...

with what's been happening with us over the past few weeks?? I'll start with our fantastic trip to Walt Disney World!

We flew this time and Matthew & Jacob absolutely LOVED it...I can not describe the expressions on their tiny little faces when the plane went up! It was awesome. On our way back they were both asleep before the plane was off the ground...we wore them out over the course of the week!

Disney was great with a 5 and 2 1/2 year old! They loved the characters and the rides...we did so many things this year that we hadn't done in the past...at Epcot: Test Track, Soarin' (the awesome new ride), Mission: Space, we actually went thru all the countries this time because the boys had a blast at the Kidcot Stops! We also did the Land & the Living Seas. at MGM: Indiana Jones, The Little Mermaid, the Rockin' Roller Coaster. at Magic Kingdom: EVERYTHING (I think!), at Animal Kingdom: Everest (well, Rob did Everest...I chickened out!) I know I missed some things but just wanted to give you an idea of some of the new stuff we did in addition to riding old favorites!

Coming home was sort of sad for me...this was an expensive trip and I know we won't be going anywhere for a while...well, maybe until next year! (if I can convince Rob!!!). Rob & I have both decided to really buckle down with our spending and just buy necessities and things to upgrade our home. Someday we'd eventually like to build or buy and we really need to get some things done around here to make our home more marketable. Lots of work & Little Time...doesn't sound to great!

Matthew graduated from St. Paul Pre-K last week and we had their end-of-the-year picnic yesterday. After much thought (and I mean months) we've decided to keep Matthew at St. Paul for kindergarten. He had been #1 on a waiting list (and we had already enrolled him at Jackson Public) and we got a call this week from one of the kindergarten teachers that he was definitely "in". So, we've made the committment for kindergarten and will hopefully send him there thru 6th grade. Then...we'll see...maybe homeschooling. Lots and lots of decisions!!

Rob's been so busy. The start of this week he has been...and will be for quite some time...working 10 hour days. He's used to it and really enjoys his job so that helps. It's just hard right now because he is trying to cut hay down and bale it. We'll manage...God always makes things turn out!

Well, got to go...we're getting ready to watch Bambi II.
