[I haven't blogged for a while because we were on vacation and then my computer broke down--but I'll post more about that when I can get my pictures back (I hope!).]
Dad and Nate's marathon efforts to resurrect my computer. Only bouncing on the Pirate Lair dock during the earthquake (instead of being stuck in the swaying 17th floor room in downtown LA). How excited Ryan got at the character breakfast. Ryan getting to unlock and open the doors at the restaurant (and the balloons and autographed pictures to go with it). Business-class tickets to Vienna and family willing to watch the kids so we can go next spring. Finding new things I had never done at Disneyland (watching them retiring the colors, Toy Story Mania, the Zephyr rockets). Seeing Disneyland through the eyes of a child. Learning to drive in LA rush hour traffic without getting ulcers or in an accident. Kids who travel really well. Finally figuring out what I was doing wrong on my cleanup project. Riding the ski lift at Sundance and enjoying the peace and beauty of soaring over the mountains. Playing games with friends and family. Learning how to parent (thanks for all the conversations, Jen). Chocolate covered potato chips (they're a lot better than they sound). Sofia using toys to walk across the living room. Having a chance every two years to celebrate individual achievement and unity with the rest of the world (even if it's only for a few days). Having a husband who could care less that I still can't find the keys.
