It looks like Laura had a great time playing with her dad's shaving cream!

I promised that I would post some more pictures from Florida so here are a few. Here is as close as we could get to the launch pad. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side. Endeavour is there....just on the other side.
Some local fishermen:
Scott's family:
Although we did not get to see Endeavour launch, we had a wonderful time visiting Scott's family.

Since there are were only 2 space shuttle launches left, Uncle Ken and Scott decided that we should try to go see one of them. It isn't easy planning a trip around a shuttle launch as the date changed several times! Finally, NASA settled on April 29 and off we went. We had the perfect host and hostess for the trip, Scott's mom actually lives near the Cape and her husband works at the space center.
I found out that while most people that I know had no idea that the shuttle was going to launch that weekend, it was a very different story in Florida. Over 700,000 people were there to view the launch, not to mention President Obama and family. School even closed early that day. Unfortunately, NASA found a problem with the shuttle that morning and the launch was scrubbed. So, we spent the rest of our trip exploring the area and spending time with Scott's family.
I'm going to post in chronological order so that it will make sense to me :-). Funnily, that means that today's post will be all about Kathy & Andy's furry family. And no, I don't think funnily is a word.
This is Rowdy. It seemed like every time I took a picture of Rowdy, he would close his eyes!
Rowdy is a great cat and did a great job welcoming us into his home. Here's a better picture of our boy:
Kathy and Andy have a chocolate Lab named Eclair. It was hard for me to get a picture of Eclair by herself because every time I got in front her with my camera, she popped up and came running to me. So, here is a picture of Eclair and her best friend Bandit. Bandit is a Siberian Husky and also...the neighbor's dog. Bandit came over for a play date while we were there.
The good friends love to play and play. Here are a couple of pictures of them playing tug of war. Turns out, they'll play tug of war with anything...

Here's our referee, Andy.
Good friends
Eclair has actually made the trip up to our house to visit. We look forward to seeing her again.
Next post PEOPLE PICTURES! And a picture of the launch pad. Don't get too excited. Even though the shuttle was on the launch pad....I could only see the back side of it. :-(

Daniel's birthday was almost 3 weeks ago and I am finally catching up. Since I am so far behind, I will post pictures with little commentary...
In the above photo, Daniel is saying "choo choo train" because there is a train on his card. Daniel LOVES trains!
Here Rana and Dana are watching their favorite soap on one of the Arabic channels. I wish you could have heard them talking about it.
A good time was had by all. Unfortunately, out of the millions of pictures that I took, I just realized that I don't have a single picture of me or my brother. I think that part of that is because many times that I was taking a picture, Kevin was taking one too. I promise to do better next time.
Next post....our trip to Florida to see the space shuttle Endeavour launch. Hint: It finally went up today and we are at home.

Today I will finally start catching up! This post is about Easter. Here is a picture of Kevin's (my brother) family on Easter. Unfortunately it didn't come out so well. I had to leave our Easter lunch early so that I could serve at church that afternoon and when Scott took the picture, he didn't realize that the ISO had changed. :-( Oh well, here it is....
Next post: Daniel turns 2!

There is so much for me to catch you up on but since today is such an important day, I'll post about that first. Happy Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to my mom, the most wonderful mom I could have ever asked for...and, Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there reading this blog. Here is a picture from our Mother's Day celebration.
And because it has been a while...here's a random picture that I took of Greta today:
Check back in this week...I'm going to start catching up.
