its coming down to crunch time… just a few days left before I leave on my family vacation… bags are almost packed and last minute items have been purchased and slipped in somewhere… today was my last day at work and by four I had accomplished about 95% of what I had hoped for…

the exciting news is that my sandals arrived from Quarks online store, so my feet will be very happy as they wander all around the resort and on excursions…

great ECCO sandals for comfortable walking wherever we are…

the kids, big and little, are all excited too… I think the last time we were all on vacation together was the summer of 2008 when we all went out to visit Cyndi and Ron when they moved… at that time there were only two little boys… this time, there are three little boys, but no Grandpa…

after work tonight Crystal and I went and had pedicures and then we popped over to the mall to get a few final things…  came home and had a lovely chat with Cyndi as she waited for Ron to arrive in Calgary…

toes all painted and ready to go…

I am excited but also missing George… it is thanks to him that we can afford to take this trip… I would rather have him than the trip, but since that isn’t going to happen, I will make the best of it… I am planning to take pictures, and with the girls, produce a lovely photo book of our time, so that will be lots of fun…

and really, how bad can a week in Mexico be, lol…
