Uncle Kevin coughed up the photo I was talking about of Eddie with a knife--from a post last week. Taken with Kevin's phone/blackberry thingy. Trio or whatever they are called. Much as it would be nice to get one (the Trio type things), it would be bad news for me to have one--it would become permanetely attached to the palm of my hand.
We've had a rash of babysitter cancellations. Last week due to a death in the sitter's family--we lucked out at the last minute after making about 10 calls in one day. We then tonight were bailed out by Eddie's buddy Eli's mom. What a saint to agree to watch 2 kids right at the time when they are grouchiest. Paybacks are definitely in order. Come to think of it, we likely owe this to a couple people who have Ed-sat--you know who you are.
We are definitely on the countdown to Alaska. I've been thinking about posting about this trip, but don't think I ever did. We're off to Alaska so soon that on accuweather.com, we can view the 15 day forecast for where we'll be! I've got a lot to do before then and Den has 2 work trips to squeeze in. We'll be gone 18 days. Long story short, it was to a big family one-way cruise, but that fell through, but not before we bought our return trip airline tickets. So, we, along with g'ma and g'pa Ohio (for about 8 days of the trip) will be doing an independent tour of Alaska's Inside Passage and then the mainland.
I'm very excited as a traveler, but a little daunted by the national debt like numbers we'll have run up by the end of the trip. It started out as a way to use up Frequent Flyer miles that were expiring and wound up much much more. I'm hoping to be able to post from the road--but then I'm also someone who hopes to mail postcards from the road. Anyone get their Bar Harbor card yet? I didn't think so.
