Having a broken camera has uninspired me to blog. We had a great vacation and I'm hoping that my family will be able to send me pictures (hint, hint) for me to post of all the fun things we did, such as watching the fireworks over Lake Tahoe and seeing little cousins.

Some fun things Micaela has remembered from the trip:

She sees so many family members I think she is unsure of how they are related, calling her cousins "friends" of her aunt Michele.

Deciding that she is going to stay at grandma and grandpa's and when they have to go to work "you can just come watch me and then go home." It's good to know I'm good for something. I should note that there is a constant, somewhat desperate plea in her prayers to see grandma and grandpa again.

A new love for Harry Potter. I tried to not let her watch the movies with us (we had an HP marathon), but she saw more than she should and then started drawing pictures of "monsters that are not in this world." She also says Harry Potter with a very cute little English accent!

After our trip Micaela was drawing all over her legs and arms. When I asked her why she did that she said "I just wanted those things on my arms like uncle John," referring to our friend John and all of his tattoos.

Stay tuned for pictures. Hopefully.
