Finally! I believe we have finally decided what we're going to do for Thanksgiving - for Cody and I it seems making decisions can be right up there with waxing your eyebrows - it needs to be done but we put it off until the absoutely last minute. Anyway, for those curious folk out there, I think we're going to leave STL on either the 22nd or 23rd, drive to Tally, eat a lot, possibly go to the FSU v. UF game, and then drive back on Sunday.
Going to Florida for Thanksgiving means we'll have to take a shorter Christmas vacation, but we figure two shorter trips would be better then one longer one anyway. For Christmas we'll probably leave on the 22nd or 23rd, drive down (lots of driving in one month - it will be about 3200 miles on the Jeep I believe - wow, that's 1/3 of what some people drive in a year!) and then come back the Tuesday after Christmas (assuming I can even get those days off work). Then I'll have to come back to work for a few days but we'll at least get to enjoy New Year's here and hopefully get some work done around the house and just relax together. Most of our vacation time is spent traveling and running around so it will be nice to get to hang around the house together for a long weekend (we both have off January 2nd) and just relax. We're hoping to plan a trip to Florida sometime in the spring to see everyone without the stress of the holidays - plus it's no fun seeing everyone twice within a month and then not again for another 11 months.
Ahhh. . . . the trials and tribulations of being the only kids in the family away from home. :) We love our life in St. Louis but also miss our family and friends back in Florida. I guess that's what life's all about though.

Hi There - I finally found some time to check out this website. It's nice to see you guys. Glad to hear you'll be coming home for Thanksgiving. We miss you guys. Did you get the Turkey Baylee made for you? She is very excited to see you.
Sara! It's great you found the site! Yes, we got the wonderful turkey from Baylee - it was so cute!! We love getting her artwork -it's all hanging our on fridge. We can't wait to see how big she and Brandon have gotten. Last time we saw him he was a little bitty 1 week old thing and now he's about five months already! Boy does time fly! See ya' soon!
Glad you got the turkey. She loves making things. You'll have to tell her what your favorite color is. She knows everyones and when she is making things she will say, this one is for Daddy, his favorite color is green, and go on and on through everyones. I told her I figured Cody's favorite colors were orange and blue. So you'll have to let her know yours. We got the sympathy card today. Thank you so much. Larry really appreciated it. We are all really looking forward to seeing you guys.
Sorry the card was so obnoxiously late - we were thinking of you guys. I'll have to figure out what my favorite colours are - someone else asked this week and I really have no idea. :) We can't wait to see you all!!
