Gronemans taking a little trip

By -

This week I found out that I get to take mandatory vacation time over the holidays. That means I have to take my vacation I've saved up, whether I want to or not.

For better or for worse, my mandated vacation will be the entire week of Thanksgiving, and the entire week between Christmas and New Years. Fortunately, there's some of those days that are company holidays, so I'm only being forced to take five and a half days off.

So, to make the best of it, we've decided to take a little trip to the "Q"! That's right, we'll be going to visit the Dastrups for a few days before Thanksgiving. Emmy is especially excited to see her cousins. Of course she'd like to see her other cousins too. Hopefully we'll see them all at Christmas!

So how does that Benjamin being sick with the swine flu play in to your plans if at all?

Hooray, hooray! We are going to have a great time!! Benjamin is actually doing much better. He hasn't had a fever for over 24 hours now, and only has some nasal congestion. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the other kiddos have dodged the bullet!

Weather might affect our plans. The 10 day forecast shows snow. We won't make that drive in the snow.

If you don't own a portable DVD player, you might should borrow ours. And Cambrie has a sweet little thing that can hang it up for a child to see in a car...without destroying it. You might better find one. 10 hours is a long time in the car for a baby, as I am sure you know.

Apparently, that last comment was from Mom as well. Just a wild guess. So where are you spending Thanksgiving?

Oh..and Chad...trust me, you don't want to make that drive if it's snowing. We did that last year in our Jeep...it was hair raising and not an experience I want to repeat. Hope you have good weather.

We will be spending Thanksgiving with the Kruegers, and Christmas with the Gronemans.

And we will be monitoring the weather very closely, since we don't have a 4wd vehicle. We don't want to drive any portion of that drive in the snow, period.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
