Thanks for your support Kate! 

Home is calling my name! Especially at Christmas.  It usually doesn't snow in Tucson but stranger things have happened.  But will be good to be around such for such a festive time of year.  So many people decorate their houses, carols are played at almost every store, and in general, people seem happier!  I miss a winter Christmas, and a warm cooked meal! 

But, we live not far from the mountains and often they are white so who knows...although, it did snow this year...

Thanks Emmie...the waiting is the hardest part!  Hard not to get hopes up...

Family is on the mend which is great!  Hope we stay that way

Hi Lorna!  Good to be back.  Sharing is something I try to teach in my house but those nasty germs are ones I didn't want shared!

I love the Children's Museum but haven't been in a very long time.  Glad he had a good time.  And with weather like that, anything indoors and airconditioned is good!

Thanks-Angela

The trip will be a blast.  We can't wait.

And you are so true about the year!  August is almost over!!!

Wellness is our gameplan from now on!  No sickies in this house.

Thanks Cazza-Ang

Thanks Sandra!  Will be around more...This flu season has been so nasty!  My others...kids and hubby, all really got knocked around.  Luckily I haven't as of yet.  And hoping I don't.  They all looked horrible and felt horrible and I don't want to have to function in the state they were in (because of course, being the mommy means you get NO days off). 

It will have been about 18 months from my last trip to the USA.  I went in May-June 2006 just after Harrison was born.  My husband hasn't been since June-July 2004 so he is very eager.  Cameron will be in Perth with his mother and sister so he is really disappointed but what do you do?  I just can't wait!  Plus we return via Tokyo and neither one of us has been before so that should be exciting too!

See ya around- Angela
