what a great week...












one of my favorite pics of the week...


















one of my other favorites! my kids were fish! they LOVED the water, and were incredibly confident. especially this one!

so, i'll put more pics up later. it was a fabulous week in maine. i didn't get up before 9am every day! and the kids were well entertained and loved by grammie and grandpa. daddy fished, i kayaked once or twice, floated on my raft and read. we went on a few day trips and to see "a comedy of errors" by shakespeare. it was wonderful.

then, on friday night, we drove back to boston in preparation for our flight the next morning. we got to have dinner with brian and laura... laura and i have been friends since 1991. that's almost 2/3's of our lives! wow... and fortunate that our husbands love each other, too. it was a blast to spend the evening with them, and our kids.

saturday, we flew to cleveland and dropped the kids with mom, stef and byss. finished out our four hour layover by reading and enjoying QUIET TIME in the airport!! i think it's been 3 years since i have flown by myself!!! it was wonderful!! flew to chicago, another layover. finished one book and downloaded another to my new kindle!! (more on that later... a gift and i LOVE it!!) then, finally to san diego.

we landed around 8. david got the car and we drove to our friends' to get his car. visited for a few and said our "see you later"... then to stef and her family's for the night. got to hang out with stef and shea and just catch up. however, that was the hardest "see you later" i have ever had. three out of four kids and their mommy were in tears. it was so sad!!!

now we are in vegas- about to depart. we picked up dave and byssa and had a fun night showing them the strip. onward!! homeward bound... (oh, and we got to ichat with the kids this morning... SO MUCH FUN!!!)
