It's been a couple of weeks since I got back from my trip to Oregon, and I wanted to write sooner, but they were a hectic couple of weeks. I'm happy to report that as of this morning, I am completely caught up with the backlog of work I'd accumulated for literally the last six months - between the trip, my February plague, and an unusually busy winter season for the company. So now I have the rest of the day to take it a little easier before more work begins to pile up on Monday.
The trip was great, but way too short. I only got to spend two days at my parents' house with them, my sister Lacey, and her three munchkins... and about the same amount of time with my older sister Dana. The kids are amazing. Brendan (8) has become quite the character, with a goofy sense of humor and endless knowledge of subjects such as dinosaurs, Pokemon and Spider-Man. Breana was just a two-month old butterball the last time I saw her, and now at 3 she's a tea party throwing princess and Gwen Stefani's biggest fan. And baby Dylan... I have never been more content than the time I spent on my parents' couch with that warm, soft and snuggly little bundle in my arms.
Photos from the trip are up in the gallery. A few of them are from Mom's and Dana's cameras, as mine decided to give up the ghost halfway through the weekend. Fortunately, we bought a new camera just a couple of months ago in preparation for the upcoming Disney vacation. Not so fortunately, the older and now dead one was going to remain mine, as I'm not able to use the new one due to its larger size.
Only four months left until Disney World! We changed our trip by one day in order to take advantage of free dining season and upgrade to a higher level resort for the same price. Instead of the Pop Century, we'll be staying at the Port Orleans Riverside resort August 26 to September 1. We bought our airline tickets on Tuesday for $99 each way (per person). It was a bit more than we'd hoped to pay, but the flights were selling out fast, so we couldn't wait for a lower price. And last night we made all our restaurant reservations. It seems insane that we have to make reservations now for meals in the last week of August... but one of the restaurants was already booked solid for dinner for the whole week, so we had to settle for eating lunch there instead.
