Hi there, everyone. Just wanted to say I made it to Florida safely (though kinda squished on the plane!), and my baby shower went well. I got some beautiful things, like a rosary for the baby's room (I am Catholic) and oh gosh, a John Lennon Musical Parade-theme crib set. That was unexpected! Tons o' pics were taken, and I plan to post them on my family blog, once I get down to business with that.

Vacations are interesting because they give me time to reflect and gather new ideas, whether they are changes in my self-care or whatnot. I'm more than halfway through this vacation, and tomorrow I go to my parents' house. I think I'll do all right, as I am planning to take long naps and swim every day. I won't allow time to dwell on much.

I just wanted to check in and say hello, as you're in my thoughts. I will catch up as best I can once I return (most likely the Sunday my husband is at work).

And ... oh yes, baby Mia is doing just fine. She's my tiny dancer in my womb (I don't believe in telling people morning, noon, and night. :)

Hey, My Bud!!! SO Happy to hear from you and that you are having a good time!
Sounds like you had a really wonderful shower. You will have to send me a pic of the John Lennon crib set. That's sound really unique.
I hope you and Mia have fun at your folks. I am sure they are excited to see you!
You take care of you two. I will catch u on email soon!
hugs, shasta

Oh how funny, Judy! I am going to Palm Bay. My aunt, uncle, and cousin live in Cocoa. Cocoa Beach is gorgeous, though. I didn't realize you lived on the Space Coast!! I miss it so. Thanks very much. I hope the rest of this vacation goes smoothly. I have to practice my detachment skills, just in case I don't like what I see (my parents don't communicate much, and my brother just acts odd sometimes, but he is working, so maybe he's different ... who knows).

And Shasta, OK, I'll look out for your e-mail!

OK, gotta go spend time w/my dear friend and her cutie daughter. God, I'll miss them when I leave for PB tomorrow.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like a swell shower:) I shared the same birthday as John Lennon, so the crib set sounds awesome. Enjoy yourself, Kendra. (((hugs))) jan
