For daddy...

Den left before the kids woke up this morning for a trip to his annual middle of nowhere destination.  It was apparently quite the adventure...even for a seasoned traveler.  He connected in ATL and the connecting flight was cancelled due to mechanical (after he was already on the plane).  He was rebooked on 2 flights later in the day, one standby and one with an acutal seat available. 

Then he calls to tell me his luggage (a piece he could have easily carried on with him, and that contains his company logo shirts for his stint at a conference) was lost and that while they are pretty sure it reached ATL, didn't know where it was until about 5-6 hours after he landed.  His next call is as he is chasing down the car rental bus, only to find that his car reservation had been cancelled because he was so late getting there.  Back to the counter to get a car.  Then a couple hour drive in rush hour traffic in a strange town (one of Den's favorite things).  It could have been worse--he could have had the kids with him for all that excitement.

Thought it appropriate to include photos from the local air show weekend back in May.  I do have some photos to post, but am too tired to upload...hey the clock says 12:34 (1.2.3.4).  I love that, but I should not be up at this hour...


J really likes her camera...wish we did.  We're disappointed in the quality of photos it takes...even when we are taking the photos.  Had hoped to get Eddie the same kind of camera in blue,but now it appears we will be looking for another model.  Any recommendations?  Am considering the Olympus 'tough' cameras that are shock resistent, waterproof, etc.

This is a recent photo--she insists on wearing long sleeved pjs at night.  Personally I think it's a clue that the A/C is turned down too low, but Cookie and Den complain they are hot all the time.

I had to wear these sunglasses the other day while driving because the sun was glaring so badly and I'd left mine at home.  Doubt I looked this cute.

I had to work tonight.  Last meeting of the session, get 2 months off from the intensity of meetings, but lots to do in the off season.  I do love my job, but sometimes I wonder how I would survive as a stay at home mom.

Okay, kids will be up in about 6 hours, off to bed.
