Hello from Hershey PA!

We're here! It's good to see Kellie and Steven. Bennett is a crack up- so far all I've done here is play a mixed version of batman/starwars/superheroes against the bad guys in Bennett's fort- A blanket over the rocking chair! I think Bennett it enjoying someone to play with. Baby Elizabeth is CUTE!

We survived the flight out. But I think I get panic attacks on the plane- that's new for me.As we were landing in LOTS of turbulence I got really hot, and nearly burst into tears. Ryan says it's usually not the turbulent- It always is when I fly! And I still have hives from anxiety about leaving the kids- I woke up with those a couple of days before we left, and they were at their worst the night before we left.- I have the inside of my arms and my face. They are fading on my arm, but I think the ones on my face are getting worse. OH well!!

Jess survived her first day with the kids- barely. The kids are all sick- with colds. The dogs whined all night. Max got lost(she didn't even tell me that! I found out from Mom). No one can sleep- Myles was up til 11, Adria couldn't sleep because of her cold, so Jess put her in bed with her. Then Jess couldn't sleep. SORRY! I hope the next night goes better. (It can't get worse can it? I hope not) Luckily Mom will come stay with her for the next few days.

well, Ryan is back from jogging. Kellie is still gone doing errands. When she gets back we will go to Wilton Armetale (I think I spelled it right now!) and the chocolate factory.

Just saying hi---HI!

Hi- Not much going on here. Except me wasting time!! The big news in our lives- Ryan submitted his book! He submitted it to Shadow Mountain Publishing. It's about half done- but they only want to see a couple of chapters anyway- I hope they like it. If not, I guess he will try another publisher. Keep your fingers crossed!!

We're getting ready for our trip to see Steven and Kellie and Fam. I hope Jessica survives with the kids, without Brad. GOOD LUCK!! But we REALLY appreciate it! I'll bring you some Wilton Armatel - even if I can't spell it right.

I've decided I don't like scrapbooking as much as I like collecting scrapbooking stuff.- Or at least it seems that way- maybe it's because I'm so far behind. and I feel like I must catch up before I can scrapbook the new stuff I want to do! Maybe I'll just skip ahead anyway. Or maybe I'll just do the girls books, and forget the boys- Four kids is too many for doing individual books!! hmm......

I use lots of exclaimation points. We may not get to see the white house on our trip- we didn't request tickets 4 months ago- like we were supposed to. I really want to see the White House. I guess I can always plan another trip another time- right. Keep Dreamin'!

How's this post for stream of consciousness! Dad would be so proud.

TTFN! and HI EVERYONE!
