The Kids Are In New York Today...

Everyone arrived safely in Philadelphia last night... no one is more glad to hear that than Mike and I! This morning they got up and headed to New York. First stop is the Empire State Building. The kids sounded excited and a little tired when I spoke to them this morning.

Kate and I went shopping last week and bought her some cute things at her favorite store. Ethan picked up a couple of things at American Eagle Outfitters as well.

Maggie and I are over at my mom's house enjoying the pool and keeping an eye on the dogs, Zander and Molly, mom's cocker spaniel. Maggie has spent most of the morning in and out of the dog's water bowl, chasing the dogs, and occasionally sitting down for about a minute to watch Blue's Clues.

Mike is working his tail off so that he can have a few days off for the fourth of July. We'll leave a week from today to spend 4 days over at the coast and relax. It's been a while since we took the kids on a vacation. The last time was two years ago when we went to Disneyland. We had made the reservations well in advance and the week before we were to leave I found out I was pregnant with Maggie. We had a good time in spite of the fact that I was sick through most of it.
