Wow, this is SO COOL that everyone is going!
Lola, we will drive (can't afford to fly 5). You can always drive South to our little town and we can make the journey to FL together. Just a thought...

for Dina and family joining the NJ contingent. What a great way to celebrate Katrina's b-day! Lola: Please, please say you will come. Meeting you and getting Alex and Lola together would be the best This will be awesome... anniversaries, birthdays and so much more to celebrate. For us, it will be our 3rd Family Day while we are there!!!

Mike, that's very nice of you to offer and I will give it some serious thought.
Janie, I hope it works out that we can come - I'd LOVE to meet you, and for Alex and Olya to meet, too! It would be really cool to have a picture of the two of them together - our sweet little answered prayers! It sounds like fun!
