Whew! What a whirlwind it has been here. We just got in last night from a fabulous getaway to Florida. We had been thinking about a trip all summer, and were so undecided if we should or not, and finally booked our flights a few weeks ago. We left on tuesday and headed to sunny Orlando, where Grandma and Grandpa Rogers live!! The flight was great (esp with a little Xanax on board) :) The kids were soooo excited to see their G & G!! On Wednesday, we spent the day with Grandpa at The Holy Land experience. All I can say is WOW! They re-inact the crucifiction of Christ......right in front of you. I know they are all just actors, but you really felt as if it was Jesus himself in front of you. You truly could feel God's presence over that place. Cool. Then, the next morning we got in Grandmas car and headed down to Ft Meyers for a few days. We got to stay at Mike's boss' condo, went to a couple beaches and swam a lot at the condo pool!! We headed back to Orlando on Sunday am, and got to spend more time with G&G and uncle matt and his girlfriend, who is visiting the USA for the first time!!! So cool. Thank you sooooo much again, Frank and Paula for EVERYTHING!!! We love you guys and miss you already!!
But, we had to get back home, as the kids had meet the teacher last night and the first day of school today. Nothin like cuttin it close. Today is my baby's first day of Kindergarten!!! It helps to know that Chase is there with her, as the BIG 5th grader!! He had to look just "so" today. He told me that "how you look today, will determine your nickname for the rest of the year"....So, dressed in our new duds, with our hair product in, and deoderant and body spray on, we were ready to conquer the school...yikes. Brooke, was in one of her fav new outfits too, with her new Hannah Montanna book bag. It was cute. All the parents (dads too) stayed home till the kids got on the bus. It was a full bus stop this year. FUN!!
So, with BOTH kids at school in the morning (Brooke is half day), I have NO EXCUSE but to start my walking... and that is exactly what I did already this am!!! It felt so good. I am tired of being tired and slug-like. I hope I can committ and keep it up!!

Fun pics! I'm glad you guys sneaked in a last minute trip. Good for you! And Chase did indeed look very cool this morning :)
Hi Carol,
Looks like fun! I can't believe your baby is in kindergarten. Where has the time gone? Did you guys stay at Heritage Palms in Ft. Myers? The pool picture looked really familiar.
Wow. Looks like you've been busy and I'm glad you had fun on your trip. I love the pic of the pool with the palm trees in the background.
And school? Didn't you always tell me this is your favorite time of year?
When do you want to get together? Still up for a night out?

Glad the first day was a success. Thought of you all often this week, when I see all my cute pictures on the fridge.
Had a great time at the beach on Sat. Didn't know what to expect with the swells from hurricane "Bill".
Glad you began walking, take it one day at a time and you will get there.
Love and miss you all, give the kids kisses from me.
