We were in Orlando for Wharton-Smith's annual Christmas party this weekend. Hence the Waffle House picture. We flew out Friday am and back again on Sunday am. The kids spent the weekend with Mary and John. We finished up our Christmas shopping and picked up some necessary things, like peanut butter crackers and clothes! I made Jay drive me around all day on Saturday to various different stores. He was a trooper and never complained.
We are staying on island for Christmas. The Wicklund's arrive next week. Then its the Grays, then The Koch's. Vacation, what vacation?! We are excited to see everyone!

Home Safely
Our plane ended up being delayed about 2hours from Chicago. We are lucky that we had an early flight, things were only going to get worse. Our delay was due to the de icing of our plane. It took 2 tries. We landed in San Juan a little after 5pm. We boarded our plane to St.Thomas about 15 minutes later. We landed in St. Thomas a few minutes early. Once we got our bags in the car we high tailed it to Red Hook to try to make the 7pm people ferry. We did not make the people ferry but we did make the car barge. There is only 1 barge running, out of 4, so they do runs until everyone is gone on St. Thomas. Lucky for us that meant a 7:20 car barge. We were the last car on. By the time we got home, fed the kids, unpacked it was almost 10. Tuesday was a school day for everyone! Back to school and back to our daily life.
Some updates from while we were gone... Both islands lost power for about 36 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Jay saw Kenny Chesney out at Woodys on Friday. Our landlord has been fixing a lot of stuff in the house, I dont know what has gotten into him!

Return from Cape Cod
We caught the 9pm people ferry on Saturday night to make it home from Cape Cod. What a relief! There is not a 10pmferry, so had we missed it we would have had to wait until 11pm. We were pretty lucky to make it since our plane landed at 755. Anyway, we spent yesterday doing laundry and trying to get all of the excess water out of our pool. It rained a lot while we were gone and our pool came pretty close to overflowing. Today the kids and I are going to take care of a bunch of stuff in town that we could not do yesterday, mail, landlords mail, deposit rent check, get some groceries, drop of contract of employment. Oh yes, and more laundry! I will post pictures of the Cape later on today.

Atl and Kentucky
Anna enjoying Walker's flip flops
The 3 cousins
Last week we went to Atlanta and Kentucky. Here is what we did...
Our flight out of Miami into Atlanta was delayed by 2 hours. By the time we got our rental car or at least one that worked, and got on the road to Dunwoody it was 1215am. Thanks to Mary and John for letting us stay in their Amster Green house.
Wednesday- Target, DCC pool, lunch with the teachers from Kingswood, dropped Quinn at Javier's house, went to Kohls, Learning Express, and the School box. Picked Quinn up then went to Kingsley pool to say goodbye to Sundaye (moving to Texas) and see some friends.
Thursday- 8am dentist appointment for all of us. 6+ hour drive to Wilmore Kentucky for the Ike family reunion (my moms side). Picked Matt, Jen and Anna up at the airport. Arrived in Wilmore, let the fun begin!
Friday-Hanging out with all of my aunts, uncles and cousins. Played soccer with all of them in the mid day sun, could it have been any hotter. Both kids played. Went to church and watched my 4 cousins be baptized by my grandfather. Lots of sharing and visiting going on!
Saturday- More hanging out with everyone! 60 year anniversary party for my grandparents! Isnt it amazing! I hope Jay and I are that lucky. More sharing and visiting.
Sunday-Goodbyes to everyone as we drive back to Atlanta. Walker throws up in the car on the way home. Squeeze in some time with Kelly (love you), shopping at Walmart.
Monday-Publix, dry cleaners, walmart again, ulta. Lunch with my DCC friends at Elissa's, it was great to see everyone! Quinn and Walker head to Liam's house to play while I go to Home Depot, Costco, The Container Store, Target and Michaels. Then its off to Windhaven Ct to hang with the neighbors. Thanks Kelly for the pizza party. The kids got to see their friends and so did I.
Tuesday-Up at 5am to make our 845 flight. All 6 bags were under 50 lbs, YEA, and I did not have to pay extra for any of them, YEA! Landed in St. Thomas, Jay picked up the kids and the luggage. Heather picked me up and we went to Cost U less for some food. We all made the 530 ferry to St. John, home sweet home.

San Francisco Pictures
Alcatraz 
The beautiful Golden Gate bridge.
Our Awesome Rental Car! We barely fit in it with our suitcases!
We had a great time in San Francisco seeing the sights. We walked a lot and ate a bunch of good food. We had dinner with my cousin Pete one night. It was great to see him! The kids had a ton of fun with Grammy and Gramps. They went to camp, the movies, went golfing and played tennis.
