Back in the NW
Well, I'm back! Just got in last night from a wonderful long weekend in San Antonio with some of the world's best friends. It was so relaxing to hang out with Abby & Alyssa & their families. We had a great time that involved nothing, really...but it always seemed like a lot! Hmm...could that have been the 10 kids between them?
I didn't take my camera when I went (for the same reason that they don't bring theirs when they come visit me!), so I'll have to just grab a few from them to post here in a bit.
My pale Oregon skin hardly knew what to do with the ... what do you call it? ... SUNSHINE that it was soaking up during a few 70-80 degree Texas days!
Lots of love to my dear friends/sisters/nieces/nephews in SA. Miss you already! Thanks for the change of pace. You helped me to eat up almost a whole week of waiting! Thanks for the encouragement. Thanks for the fun and laughter and special brand of silliness that we only see when we're together.
And thanks to your dear husbands for giving you so much "time off" this weekend. We needed it!

Andrew's Tourist Days
Well for the last week or so, Andrew's been on "pass." A little free time away from the daily grind. Far away! In another country in the Persian Gulf called Qatar.
It's been a really nice and relaxing experience for him to be without his usual intense schedule, wear civilian clothes, enjoy local cuisine, and walk around malls, shops, and markets taking pictures in the capital city of Doha.
It's been a wonderful break and good change of pace for us. Mixing up the monotony a little, anyway.
He has posted an album full of pictures from this latest adventure on his Facebook page. Hopefully he'll post a few here, too, when he can!

Disneyland Fun For the Family
Here are a few of the favorites from our Disneyland trip the week after Thanksgiving! (Yeah, Chandler's in all of them...he was pretty much the star of the show. Pretty much? What am I saying??)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
Looks like Santa's tech-savvy Elves have already visited this blog and sprinkled their Pixie Dust...
Wait. I'm confusing two very different stories.
Well, I've got Disney on my mind. That's my excuse. See, we (the Brocks - including new and former, and totaling 9) are flying down to Disneyland tomorrow morning for our very belated summer vacation!
I can't tell if we're all more excited to go or to watch Chandler see it all for the first time! (& Jenny, too, incidentally.) Not that Chandler will remember a thing...But Aunt Cassidy already took care of that today by purchasing a 4G Compact Flash card for her camera. He'll "remember" it all in pictures! Mickey Mouse ears and all.
And I've been thinking...Someday my prince will come.
(Bad pun, but excusable under the circumstances, right? Right?)
