Home!

Well, Alex made it home safe and sound. His flight was slightly delayed leaving New Jersey, so he arrived about 30 minutes late, at 10:30. It was so good to see him! He seemed to have a fabulous time and he took some great pictures. He bought himself some really cool souveniers, plus some nice ones for his brothers, CTP and me.

Both boys really liked their rooms. Their reactions were exactly what I had been hoping for. When Andy saw his room yesterday, he just kept walking around, saying, "Wow." He got his camera and was taking pictures of the different decorations in his room. He was really cute.

When Alex saw his room today, he had much of the same reaction. Except he actually said "thank you" multiple times (Andy may have said it once or twice :) They both had the reaction that made all of the hard work over the last several days worth it!

Did YOU take pix for the scrapbook???
You inspired us BIG TIME. So when Camden told us Saturday that he wanted to have his own room again, we moved Curt's study down to the basement, Camden into Curt's old study upstairs, and redid Benjy's room for just Benjy. We had it all done in 2.5 hours. (not including "decorating") Everybody's happy now, and I don't have a single picture to show for it!

So glad Alex is home safe and sound. He's so blessed to have gone on this wonderful trip!

I'm glad Alex got home safely and had a great time! Lucky..... Just one quick question...if he'd have forgotten to get you and CTP souvenirs, would you have put him back on the plane?????

You guys did a great job on their rooms! Heck, "I" was excited and thought they turned out great so I'm sure Alex and Andy are thrilled!
