No way!!

by mcjessica on January 31, 2008

Dude, no way!
Since we’ve been back from our trip, we’ve had some, eh, challenges on the sleep front. First night was so-so, the second night involved all of us being awake from 1am to 5am. It was taking for-ev-er for him to fall asleep, and our tradition has been to stay in the room with [...]

by mcjessica on January 29, 2008

Last Thursday, Seth and I flew from Chicago to Palm Springs, California, then we met some of Ed & Lillian’s friends in Desert Hot Springs, picked up their minivan, and proceeded to drive it all the way back to Illinois. On Thursday we were on the road or in the air from 7am until midnight. [...]
