Beach week and other stuff.....

Our vacation has finally arrived. We've been planning this trip to the Outer Banks for a year and we leave Saturday for a whole week. We can't wait. We will be meeting our friends from Florida and sharing a house.

Todd has been so stressed at work. He needs this vacation more than any of us. I'm still trying to get packed. Katie has a huge couple of weeks with a vacation to the beach, then her braces off and two days later turning 13. I can't wait to see her without her braces - 2 years and 3 months and she's finally finished.

Lexi is growing like a weed. She will be in 3rd grade in less than a month. I wish I could slow the time clock - both of them are growing too fast.
