I told you I'd be Back...

So it really happened, our trip came to an end. 3 wks was great, but there was still so much to do! i didn't make it to the fair, or the carving place, i didnt spend hours working with my mom on heritage makers stuff, we didnt all paint our nails really cool with audreys nail stuff, we only used the hot tub a couple times (i know its shameful!) and we didnt hike Russian River Falls. and i didnt get to go spend any time up in North Pole with  my sisters (but we did see each other at my parents)... but enough of what we didn't get time for, the time we did spend was on great things! like this last trip, on Audreys birthday out of Seward to Prince William Sound, gorgeous, the weather was literally a miracle, almost not a cloud in the sky. which for Seward is like once in a million years. probably almost literally. i have never seen a day like that. the sea's were calm, the fishing was pretty good, no slivers, but lots of ling and black cod. my dad shot a bear, and so did the boats deckhand. so we did have a good time. i need to buckle down and upload pictures i know, its just such a commitment, because i will want to share my best ones. and that is like 200 per trip roughly. our of usually 700 pics. and i haven't figured out how that will work exactly on the blog. but i will do it. i can't do the slideshow, because it wouldn't be in the blog book. and picnic is great but i found i don't LIKE the LITTLE picture collages because it makes the pictures small so you can't see them. i think when the time comes though, i am going to just pay for unlimited storage on my blog, i cant keep getting new ones. so now the question- do i go back to cassieanddan.b or keep this blog? i use the other email most, so i think maybe keep this blog so i dont forget to sign in or something and lose it. but i do want to make a grand ol' book out of it as well. so dan is over at the estate sale for his dads place. i had planned on going to help because its spread out (house, garage ect) but its 10 am and my weary babies are still OUT. andrew went to bed at 6:30 pm last night. incredible. unprecedented. andrew has NEVER slept 15 hours and counting...its good though. its now 10:20, both still sleeping. great news here- ANDREW GOT INTO HEADSTART! i am ecstatic about that. he is SO going to love it. i have been really hoping he would get in because i know how ready he is for that. he is so excited to go get a backpack "with wheels you pull", he saw some in AK before we left, they were for preschoolers i think, had things like thomas the train on them. so he informed me that we need to go do that "before school starts". how did he learn that...? to get things for school before it "starts". and he really wants a watch too...anyways, so thats our new exciting news. andrew boy is headed for school. i told him to say "i feel like a school boy!" and he said it with pride and excitement...haha...well, its almost 10:30 and little man is starting to stir....
