I love this post! And I especially love that Tahiti is on your vacay list - it's on ours too :) Hawaii also. We may be going in July - too bad we won't overlap! :D

Love this post! I'm totally going to copy you on my blog. :) I just finished reading Hunger Games and it was AMAZING! I finished it in two days. Now I can't wait to start the next one (you can use my copies when I'm done if you want). I CAN NOT wait for Hawaii either. We're going to have so much fun, but totally feeling you pain on the whole bathing suit thing..and the time change thing. Oh well, when there's nothing else to do, we can laugh! :) Love that picture, you guys are so cute. Give those sweet babies smooches for me!

Fun! I stole this post idea!
we don't have cable, never have. It's great for me cause tv sucks me in and I become a couch potato. Basic cable is pretty bad here so we only watch DVDs. I think you'll be surprised how much you'll enjoy not having cable.

I loved the Henrietta Lacks book! It gave me more to talk about in my science classes! :) Let me know what you think when you finish.
