The Blazers Have Landed!

The Blazers have landed...thrice.  The trip has been good thus far with not much sleep happening yet.  We are in our hotel in Roma and the kids have been busy popping from room to room.  Tomorrow we head out early to visit the sites and will be gone for about fourteen hours.  It sounds like it will be a great day.

Kaitlin M. wishes to say a big thanks to security in Heathrow for her first frisking, Sara P. wins the longest unpacking of my bags by security to find my hidden bottle of water while I watch with an ever reddening face award, Mallory M. wins the I'm going to lose my passport first award...then she lost the award when she found it by scouring the plane...also with an ever reddening face, Scott wins the I'm eyeing that cockpit in case I get my chance to jump in when someone says "can anyone land this plane" award and finally Ellen M. wins the "it's really  nice weather here, sure glad I'm not on PEI" award.

Hope you all dig out...we'll try not to let the coconuts from the palm trees fall on our heads.

Ian, I will post your emails if you fail to figure out the Italian on your computer. You have to sign in first - it's on the top right hand side, before you can post. You remember the username and password, right?!

I dug out this afternoon...it was brutal, snow was above my knees and higher in some places. My back is killing me....you owe me big!! Of course, it helped when the neighbours plough came and did a big swipe of my driveway too! Guess I looked really pathetic. What a relief.

Jane and Lana say they miss Daddy. But they are great. We made rice krispie squares after drying out from the snow and all is well. Now, can you make the snow stop so we don't have to shovel again tomorrow?...Please?

Enjoy your palm trees. I'll try not to wish that one falls on your head!

Now get some sleep.
Love K.J. and L.
