It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YAY BABY!!!

And JZ and Matilda are going to Greece? That's so cool!

It feels like everyone is having an exciting vacation right now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And JZ and Matilda are going to Greece? That's so cool!

Going to stay with family no less.

Her dad surprised Jacqueline for her 50th birthday last summer and said, "I'm going to send you and Matilda to Greece for your birthday!" And she said, "I need more than one week's notice because we plan out Matilda's summer about 6 months in advance. Also you are giving me a massive anxiety attack."

So we pushed it back a year and off they go. Matilda's first international travel. I think her last flight was to Seattle for the F2F.

Our wings are not tired.

I am looking forward to the adventures of JZ and Matilda in Greece. One of my basketball kids is headed there to play ball and I told DH that we really need to go visit him.

Debet, you need to post your announcement in Beep Me! I mean if ever there was a Beep Me event this whole giving birth thing qualifies.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

WOOHOO BABY!

WOOHOO Greece!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations, Debet! New person!

Trip to Greece is awesome! Whereabouts in Greece will they be? Will they do much travelling, or will it be mostly family time?

When I was eight or so, my parents just about gave me a panic attack by asking me if my brothers and I would like to go see Greece. That part was pretty exciting, though I thought they were being pretty casual the way they brought it up. Then M followed up with "Of course, we wouldn't be able to come with you..."

Turns out they were asking if we'd like to go see Grease.

Congrats Debet!

So, not the flogger attachment for a Makita drill.

Far from the most adventurous drill attachment I've seen...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hooray, tiny punctual human! Congrats, Debet!
