1. Pearl starts kindergarten in one week! Pearl starts kindergarten in one week! Pearl starts kindergarten in one week! I'm hyperventilating. Is this for real?
1.5. Both girls will be at new schools. Also they will not be at the same school. Lots of change.
2. The girls took swimming lessons in June and August. They've made a lot of improvement with the help of their cool teacher whose name btw is Cricket.
3. BAD news: Lori Hahn might stop blogging! Make her feel the love!
4. My knee is bothering me.
5. Next month Marcia and I are going on a getaway. Yes, a weekend away. Just us! If you have suggestions for a wondrous destination, let us know. Both of our passports have expired, so it can't be in a foreign country.
i think bloomington, indiana will be your perfect get away. you can drop the girls off with us.
my most remembered camp counselor, as a kid was named cricket!
my knee is bothering me too.

Where is Carrie going? We have left SOTW too - both boys will be at Roberts starting next week.
I've never been particularly particular about romantic destinations - I've always just loved San Antonio (at least, anywhere on the River Walk). Plebian, but nice.
Please tell Pearl good luck in K from Chris!

We went here once: http://www.casarubio.com. Northern California, right on the ocean. Only a few miles from Oregon. Both loved it. From there, we rented a car and drove down to San Francisco, and stayed here: http://www.hoteltriton.com/. It was a nice trip.

That sounds marvelous--am saving your message so I don't forget the hotels!

Eagle Harbor, MI. It is at the top of the Upper Penninsula. If you are really interested, email me and tell me when you want to go, my family owns two places up there and i'll pull some strings for you. Free lodging ;) Of course, it is kind of a long drive for a weekend trip :( Next month the leaves will be changing colors. It's a great place for kids too. Seriously, if you EVER want to go up there, let me know. I've been reading your blog for eons but I'm a bad lurker and and don't comment nearly enough. CANNOT believe Pearl is starting kindergarten. I feel so old. She's going to do great!
