I can do it either way everyone else wants. I'm in favour of with, although, given the ages of mine, one likely won't come, and the other's iffy. Cele |

Problem is, my son is going to Germany next summer for 10 days (that's not the problem) and I have to save money to send him (THAT'S the problem). It's going to cost me around $3,000 for him to go. I think it's a wonderful experience and I want him to have the opportunity to visit other countries, and to learn about the history there. If all goes well, I at least won't be struggling paycheck to paycheck soon. Not that I'll have loads of cash laying around, but at least I'll be secure in paying my bills. Still want to meet up somewhere if at all possible. Whereabouts are you, then, Betsy? We'll look for somewhere strategic.. Cele Florida. Pummeled by 2 hurricanes in last three weeks, and bracing for a third one. I suppose it's about time as this area hadn't been hit in many many years. I just hope it's through and gone before Thursday. That's when David flys back for another visit. Betsy |

Was there any doubt? :-) I've talked to Pete about the current possibilities quite a lot both during our holiday and since we've been back. In the past when we've talked about this sort of thing in theory he'd always been dead set against the idea of acquiring older siblings, especially sisters, but didn't seem too worried about younger ones. As an aside, we talk about lots of things in theory when there's little or no chance of them happening 'cos it feels "safer" then than if it's looming on the horizon and we can discuss things much better. Works for us anyway. Okay, where was I? Oh yes, since meeting everyone Pete feels that while older sisters would be bad news older HALF-sisters would be "okay". Coming from Pete that's high praise. :-) To be honest I think it's just his way of stepping back from his previous position in light of the fact that the potential sisters are both actually rather cool. He's often quite a shy kid when he meets new folks but he didn't seem to have any big problems with either Cele or either of her two so I'd say it looks rather hopeful. The very first day when we all cycled around the park was quite interesting. We'd only just met and yet everyone seemed so comfortable with each other. Discussing the possible New York trip later on was good fun too. Lots of ideas about where we simply had to go while we were there came from everyone at the table. Oh and Cele's youngest and I have started emailing and also chatting online too which we both seem to enjoy. Overall I can't say I've noticed many if any negatives that haven't been easily sorted but I'm only too aware of how quickly things can change so we'll monitor things regularly and just wait and see I suppose. -- Paul Griffiths Oh good luck with all of that, I'm so happy for you two! What's neat is I plan on settling in Vancouver when my schooling is finished... just think, we could do coffee on a regular basis (please say you enjoy playing cards. lol) Christine |

I have an opportunity to visit LA in a couple weeks but that's contingent on if I can find care for the twins for a weekend. Considering I haven't been away from them for longer than 24hrs in 8.5 years, I think it's high time I take a vacation. Christine |

Yeah oddly enough. My cousin can take them for one night, and my parents for the other. So I'm crossing my fingers it all works out.
