We're off!

Today we are leaving for the Dominican. We (I) have been preparing for this trip for about a month. Because it is right before Christmas I was pretty busy. Over the past few weeks, I managed to get almost all of my Christmas shopping done, wrapped, sent to various places, wrote and sent half of our Christmas cards, fit in two sets of immunizations, attended a few Christmas parties, celebrated Simon's birthday twice, and packed suitcases and carry-ons. Whew!
We are all excited. We talked to the boys last night about what to expect and to try their best to make the most of our time away. Positive attitudes will go a long way! With any luck, the boys will learn to love being far from home on the sunny bach as much as Ian and I will.
Unfortunately not all of us were able to go. Holly, my mother-in-law had to cancel at the last minute. It would have been nice to have an extra set of hands. However with Gordon being sick, it is best that she stay with him.
This week was busy and now I am looking forward to my holiday!
