My house is clean :) . My bags are almost packed ;) . I still have work to do but...

Max's new favorite expression is: "I'm going to let you in on a little secret". It's so funny. He just said to me, "Mom, I'm going to let you in on a little secret...I like pizza." He's used the expression quite a few times in the last few days and each time we all crack up.

On another note...a few weeks ago we had a celebration for my grandma's 80th birthday. I can't tell you how much I love my grandma. When I was little she used to sew dresses for me and then a matching one for my Barbie. She is such a talented, intelligent, wonderful person. Anyway, we all pitched in a bought her a flat screen t.v. I think she was pleasantly surprised. We were lucky enough to see Gail (who was down from Oregon) and the two newest additions - Tim & Becca's baby girl and Stuart & Teresa's baby boy. We had a great time chatting, eating and playing football. Happy Birthday Grandma - We love you!
