This week the girls are at Aunt Kari and Uncle Kermit's attending VBS with Abby and Megan. While Roman is home with us enjoying his time as an only child! Here's a few things we did...
- WallE - hated it! All 3 of us really disliked this movie. I don't know why all the great reviews, we thought it stunk!
- Laser Tag - a first for dad and the boy and they are now addicted!!
- shopping - yeah, he scored several new toys and stuff he really didn't need, it's a lot harder to say no when there's only one! LOL
- spoiled - yup, spoiled spoiled spoiled with days of video games, hanging out with dad, eating at his fav restaurants, you name it, we did it and we all enjoyed every second!
Yes we missed the girls tremendously, but they had a great time and appear to have missed us very little! LOL

What happened to June?!?
WOW!!! What the heck happened to the month of June?? For me it's been 60 hour work weeks and little free time. Insanity at it's highest! School has let out for the summer. Roman has finished up baseball season and rolled full swing into swimming. And he's LOVING it!!! That boy rocks! Two 5th place finishes and a 4th in his first meet. He finished 4th and 5th again in his second meet this past Tuesday, but shave over a full second off both times in freestyle and backstroke. The girls are loving easy summer life spent lounging around the pool with all their friends. And this week they are visiting Abby, Megan and Emma and having a great time. It is VBS week at their church so Aunt Kari and Uncle Kermit invited the girls up for the week. We pick them up on Sunday. Boy do I miss those 2! Life is certainly QUIET without my girls around and I have been seriously outnumbered for the first time in ages! Roman is thoroughly loving being an only child for the week too.
Well since I don't have much time to catch up on here right this sec, I am going to go ahead and tag this in officially for anyone who reads and has not yet heard our great news. Pandemonium in the Trettel house is reaching an all-time high come 2009 as we increase our family by one more. The kids are ecstatic. Roman is praying hard for a baby brother this time. I am officially due January 4th, but assuming all goes well he or she will arrive the week before Christmas... Roman's birthday week! Yikes! Two Christmas babies!!! My next doctor's appointment is in a week, July 3rd. I will officially be in the 2nd trimester and ready to relax and begin to prepare for this little one's upcoming arrival. I just need to hear that heartbeat one more time, and outside the 1st trimester to really feel confident this one's a keeper!

The trip that just didn't want to end!
I'll keep it short.....
Got to the airport plenty early, checked in without a hitch, found our flight deck, went for breakfast, flight deck moved. Then flight deck moved AGAIN. About 10 minutes to boarding the "delayed" sign began to flash. A guesstimated 1 hour delay, which turned into 3. Nothing more assuring than watching a bunch of technicians working on the ENGINE just before take off!!! We board and get settled in. Oops, there's an electrical failure! Everyone must get back off. BONUS.... we each get a $10 dinner voucher, a $25 off coupon for future flight or upgrade, AND a free round trip ticket to use anytime in the next year. We are SUPER excited about that! Let's face it, flying is NEVER cheap with a family of 5! I lucked out and grabbed up these tickets for less than $600 for all 5 of us which is insanely cheap, but to know we're getting TWO flights out of it... now THAT's a BARGAIN!!!! We spent out meal vouchers at Outback for a nice meal that made me nauseous as everyone ordered rare steak... yuck! And poor Hopey was so exhausted she fell asleep sitting straight up with her fork still in her hand. Finally boarded the plane around 6:45 for a 2 hour flight that took a little longer even due to storms over Richmond which rerouted us west, but we DID arrive back to Baltimore safe and sound. AS it was so late and we were all so exhausted we opted to spend the night with Jim and Gail and take our time getting home on Monday.
So that's the short of our return that never wanted to end! Yeah, I know, I could have done better, but I'm exhausted! LOL
