Meeting Minnie

This morning, Mary and John met Minnie Mouse and other cartoon characters. We're at Epcot today, after a wonderful day yesterday at the Magic Kingdom. Both kids slept like champions last night. Weather has been perfect: sunny but not too hot. Lines have also been mercifully short.

We're spending the weekend at a resort on Lake Conroe. It's lovely here -- nice weather and not too crowded. We may go on a boat ride before dinner.

Photos from trip to California

We've just posted 20 new photos from our trip to California. It was a wonderful vacation with lots of great family time.

John and Mary were happy to be home, but keep talking about all the fun things they experienced in California: swimming in the pool; going to the Jelly Belly factory; playing with their cousins; seeing all their grandparents, aunts and uncles; checking the chicken coop for eggs; going to the doll and train store; and visiting the Marine Mammal Center.

We can hardly believe it, but Mary starts 2nd grade on Monday!
