Here Goes!

My first post on my first blog! Exciting stuff!
Well here goes..

We've been busy getting ready for our trip. We leave in 3 weeks! Matt & I are taking the older 3 kids to Florida for 2 days then cruising to the western carribean for 5 days. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. We're taking Matt's mom and step dad as her birthday present this year. My dad, & Matt's 2 great Aunts are also coming.
The only hard thing is we are leaving our 2 little ones with grandma & grandpa for the week:( It was a hard decision to come to and I'm going to miss them terribly! But...
I need this vacation! Really, I do. Last family trip we took was when we had 3 kids (now have 5) ; Levi was 14 months old, he's now 4! Our last family vacation turned into an absolute nightmare so I'm praying this one will be much much better than the last.
