I'll warn you next time I leave Ohio...

When I make out-of-state trips, crazy things seem to happen. Insane winter blizzards and now hurricane wind-storms. Over the weekend we missed the intense gusts that whipped through Ohio and left people without power and with damaged property. I can report that our house is still standing (though the huge tree in the front landed a few feet to the side of our porch) and we will not be coming home to a fridge of rotten food since our power was only out for 3 hrs.

After having my sister Jessica in Ohio with us for a week, the kids and I headed out West to spend time with family. Our weather has been perfect and the kids have been enjoying non-stop fun and attention with grandparents, friends, aunts, and cousins. Q flies from Russia to Utah soon, and then we'll make the long-anticipated DRIVE back to Ohio. I'm getting a GPS as an early birthday/Christmas present and I can't wait to try it out --should be loads of fun.

Hopefully you'll soon get some updates on Russia and how things are going there.

First of all you have THE cutest kids. I'm there for you with the driving back from Utah. We did it this summer as well. I dreaded this for months, but not so bad. Just expect the worst and you might be pleasantly surprised. Are you going it alone though? I hope not, or I'm really praying for you.
