One week and 9 hours later, we are home from vacation! We had a wonderful time and I’ll post pictures from our “Bamapalooza 2007” trip later this week. First to unpack. I just wanted to send out a quick note that we are home.

No major injuries…biting flies and dodging crabs all week….Zoe got a splinter in her finger and Liam did good (minus having his thumb closed in the door by Zoe) until last night at our pit stop, he pulled the hairdryer down on his face causing a bruised lip and bloody nose. I’m glad Mark had him or we would have been searching desperately for an ER in the middle of nowhere!

It really was a fun trip with all of Mark’s college roommates and their families. There were 10 adults and 5 kids (all under the age of four) total. Mark definitely has a unique friendship and family bond with these guys. They got Ace out of saying, “Underwear!” all the time…but now (thanks, Uncle Ryan), he says, “I want to ROCK!” What are uncles for huh?! Ace and Zoe have taken calling these four special guys their crazy uncles! Uncle Scott has magic and can make a fire light up in a fireplace with a little wave. Aunt Heather was brave enough to take all three kids on in an effort to make sugar cookies…they may have looked funny but they tasted good.

What a fun trip. We’re looking forward to our next “Bamapalooza” trip in two years! We love you all!!!

I made it through without having a baby…contractions have been really strong and frequent (not consistent) all day today…I think most of that is because of sitting still riding in the car. We’ll see if there is any progress at the doctor’s tomorrow.

I have got to unpack and get some stuff together for Josiah’s baby book…it’s crunch time now!!!
