VACATION!!!!!

Ok- I know it's almost over but it has been wonderful. I actually got a lot of time off. It started last Friday with my book group dinner, then Saturday in the city with my girlfriends celebrating another one of us turning 21( lots of chuckles here). We stayed over in a hotel and had a blast. Monday Dave and I spent a few nights at the Borgata in Atlantic City. I love the spa there and we had very nice Mommy and Daddy time. Both our mothers rock for taking the kids!! The girls have been having a lot of fun and we have been seeing friends the rest of the week. Jordyn and I made a snowman as well as a snow alligator today. We were inspired by the dragon Chris made with Sophie in Chicago recently. I am very excited for our next vacation since it involves a mouse and Orlando Florida!!!

Happy New Year!! We had a really great time at the FCC Chinese New Year party. The girls had a blast and there were some really cool activities. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy new year!

Things that really just suck...

I was pretty sick this week with strep and tonsillitis. It was bad- but I was able to get the medicine I needed and now I'm fine. This brings me to my next point. What is currently happening in China with the storms. The citizens are having a hard enough time with no electric, no heat, lack of food, etc... Now imagine the children in the orphanages. Most of them weren't in the best conditions before the weather. We could assume many of them are sick and didn't have sufficient food before- this all makes for a very bad situation. If anybody wants to help - there is an organization called Half the Sky- they are working to get some of the orphanages what they need. Here is the link -
