HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY, Robin:)

We have a gray, cloudy day here which is a bit of a bummer but we need the rain so I won't complain! It would be the PERFECT day for sleeping in but I had to get up early to get a donation out for the Sherwood Center so I decided to stay up and get some things done! Ethan woke up with me but after a bottle he went back to sleep for awhile.

I spent this week house cleaning (ughhh) and getting ready for our trip next week. We leave in the am for a weekend of camping with the Weiss's and than Monday AM Ryan and I take off for a "Look, See" trip to Singapore. That's what his company calls it! The closer it gets to leaving the more anxious I am about leaving the kids. Usually it doesn't bother me much and I'm thankful for the break but I think that the distance this time is my problem. It's not "quick" to get back home in an emergency!

We are set up with Skype now and can talk for free to anyone else who also has it. We're going to try it out next week from Singapore to make sure everything works okay and than will decide for sure once we're there what will work best. Ryan's been gone this week to North Carolina so we've been able to try out the webcam...Ethan was SO excited the other night when he saw Ryan on the computer screen! He wasn't sure what to do and was squealing and jumping around:)

I'm heading to Back To School night tonight for the twins and than we head out in the morning. I've got a LOT of packing to get done today!

BTW: If you click on any of the pictures in my blog you can see them much bigger on the screen.
