I made it over from the May club
AWESOME start!!!!!! I feel so connected to you! We have a lot in common. hope that doesn't freak you out and make you feel stalked or anything b/c i'm really not like that
Where to start!!! I love the choking pics!!
especially the one of John choking you!!!
and the jumping shots reminded me that DD wants to do either some planking shots or small video clips all over the place on our trip of a dance she likes.
my DD is 14 also and we are leary for the scary transition into highschool next year. She will be going to a local Christian school. We are very much looking forward to her going on mission trips starting in grade 10 as it's such a WONDERFUL experience for them isn't it? And man!! Will she be jealous when i tell her your SIL handed out Toms!!!
Our teens have a few things in common too besides age - my dd gets GREAT marks as well and is also on the student councel (helping out with social events), she's an INCREDIBLE musician and gets awards and summer camp scholarships every year for her talent in playing french horn and trumpet (unfortunately this year her interest had dwindled which has me heart broken but that's another story). SOO sounds like we go through alot of the same things in life right now.
Another thing we have in common is traveling with grandma
We have taken my mom and DH's mom to WDW and my mom went with us to Hawaii too. This go around we will be without grandmas too
Anyway, with all the stuff in common I KNOW I'm going to enjoy following along
It's too bad our trips aren't the same time though. Would have been cool to bump into you somewhere.
OH!! and thanks for the bug tip - i will definitely try it out and see if it works. We live in a place known for AWEFUL mosquito problems!!! It's just that it takes us SOOO long to get to that part of the year b/c half our year is snow
Looking forward to your next installment.
