Today was our first full day of vacation and it got to a slow start. After a late flight and delays at the car rental place we didn’t get to be till close to 4am. We did manage to get to Downtown Disney and while we were there we posed for a today’s picture of the day. There are a bunch more pictures but I just don’t have the energy to post tonight. Perhaps I’ll find the time while on vacation, if not you can look forward to some posts about our vacation over the coming weeks.
I’ve been told this isn’t our plane, but by the time our plane got here it was two dark to take a picture through the double windows. Since we’re about to hop on a plane to go on our vacation it seems fitting that my picture is of a plane.
Tomorrow the family heads off on our vacation. We’ve managed to get everything packed, I’m a little surprised we got the kids to bed, they are very excited to be riding on a plane tomorrow. To be honest so am I, it’s been like 6 years since I’ve flown anywhere.
It’s been a long day Melissa hasn’t been feeling well so today we went to the hospital to get her checked out. We started the day with hopes of each of us heading into work after lunch. We captured today’s picture during our ride in, before we realized how the day would go. As midnight quickly approaches we are now hopping to be home before dawn. We’re sure everything will work out for the best, and it’s better to be dealing with now then next week when we’re on vacation in the states. It’s also give me the opportunity to try the posting process entirely from my phone.
Today after dinner the kids wanted to play outside, at least they did until they got out there and realized how chilly it was. At which point Jacob headed inside, but Violet got gloves and continue collecting her rocks.

It’s starting to feel like my picture of the day is becoming the Jacob picture of the day. I’m sure that will change in the coming days, but for today we have another picture of my boy. I captured this while we walked to the store to get milk. He’s getting so good on his bike, I’m wondering if we’ll be able to take the training wheels off before his birthday.
Today we have a picture of Jacob working away on ‘his’ laptop. It was his Nana and Papa’s but as its aged they have upgraded and gave it to him to use. I’ve setup Ubuntu on it, it runs better than windows, and sence he mostly surfs the web, playing flash games and watching YouTube it doesn’t matter what OS he uses. I like it because it gives me a Ubuntu system that I can play with. At first he wasn’t happy when Violet stuck some stickers on it, though I think it adds character. I’m thinking it might be time to give Violet a turned at the laptop, she already likes watching Frosty the snow man, and Hello Kitty cartoons on YouTube.
It was a lazy kind of day, with or little family spending some time preparing for our up coming holiday and some just relax. I snapped this picture while Jacob read his book from school. Of course our lazy day got more exciting when a couple of Jacob’s friends knocked on the door around dinner time, It’s amazing how quickly the kids went from relaxing around the house to running around outside with friends.
Today was a work from home day, so I was able to give Jacob a treat for Lunch. Instead of making a sandwich and packing it in his lunch box in the morning, I picked up a sub from the local sub shop and took it to him at lunch. I took today’s picture of Jacob while I dropped off his lunch.
Today was national grilled cheese day, so of course my kids had grilled cheese for dinner… Well they did have grilled cheese, but it wasn’t till later that Melissa’s co-worker texted her about it. I’m not sure why it’s national grilled cheese day, but I’m happy to say that in our little family celebrated it.
