Dear blog readers.......

Just a little FYI. My suitcase is beyond bulging and I still have a big stack of stuff to try to shove in there..... so because of a space crunch there are several items of technology that I unfortunately have to leave behind for the next 9 days. The items being... the laptop, the nice camera that makes all pictures look good, my breast pump ( not that anyone really cares), and a few other things I can't think of at the moment. Therefore, I am leaving MIKE IN CHARGE OF THE BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means it may or may not be updated for the next 9 days. He does have the good camera so it would be nice if he posted pics of the the construction going on at our house while I am gone. I hope to come home to all new floors (well except the bedrooms), drywall up and painted, new lighting installed and a bunch of a other little things accomplished. Keira and I will return on Jan 26th and resume blog writing duties. Hopefully while we are gone Keira's first 2 teeth will decide to come in all the way and she will be all better from her cold. We also hope that Keira will sleep on the plane....... :o)
