Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone,
It's hard to believe that it's already Thanksgiving and the holidays are officially here. This past week has been full of ups and downs but more than anything, I have had a lot of time (I mean 8 full days of reflection...)to think about how lucky I really am, especially to have all of you in my life. Thanks everyone for being so great and supportive especially during the last week. I hope you all made it home from Brixies, I didn't get any emergency Polanek Taxi calls so I hope it went well...Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Operation coolest cousin-aunts is a success!

A wrench in the spokes

Hi everyone,
Well I'm just teetering on my second trimester and I've entered the mysterious catagory of high risk. The good news is yesterday John and I saw some great shots of the baby, even a foot ,an arm and its growing brain, whew! The bad news is, due to some complications, I've been put on a modified schedule that will be requiring me to spend more time in bed and restricts me from doing anything that I need to do at the flowershop (besides watching movies on youtube and homework). So, here I am with my feet up, it sounds good at first but after yesterday I am already bored. But hopefully with plenty of good thoughts and some luck everything will turn out well and Carrie, baby and I will be running off this bedrest weight in June! Just wanted to keep everyone updated. love you all!

Sweet Relief!

I've been eagerly awaiting this trip and I can't believe it is finally here. It will be my first time completely sober on the island, I wonder how it looks that way....but Amy gave me some great tips on decent non alcoholic wine so we'll see how that experiment goes. This time we'll be arriving via the Ferry, which will be a nice change because we don't have to worry about quickly cramming all of our stuff into a windsled or cargo van. I'm super excited about seeing the family, eating funfetti cake and nature walks with everyone who can make it this time! So here's to another trip up north, see you bright and early!

Not to state the Obvious

What a day to be an American! (huge sigh of relief)

Obama Rally

Hey All,
Alex and I are going to the rally tomorrow. Is anyone else down to take part in this historic event? Were going to rock the public transportation, since it's going to be nuts downtown. Were not sure when to head down there. Train schedules and the polls will make that decision for us. Let us know if your interested.

Oh Ya-GO OBAMA!!!!!!

I'm also way stressed about this whole election. Can't wait for it to be over.
