I've been contemplating the best way to recap our wonderful and eventful vacation... and my friend, Tiffany's blog, inspired me to do a recap in the form of a list...

I just wanted to say thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. Allow me to return the favor... I love how you and your family seem so current with your heritage. You just don't hear of people doing that nowadays! Caitlyn will think its really cool someday.
And congrats on the trip in itself...its not the easiest thing to travel with a babe!
:)
Man that trip was neat! Had a very special time with all the family and you all know family is #1! Man that Caitlyn is looking more and more like her Dziadzia! She is so beatiful! Like her Mom and Aunts!
Good to see you're back and that you had a great time! I love the recap in pictures and I always love a good list Ü Caitlyn sure is getting big...hope I get to meet her before she's walking!! Ü
Loved the vacation recap. Still no word as to whether or not Caitlyn is asking for me? Perhaps Uncle Paul? Hum....WE MISS OUR COMPANY. The dose of daily sunshine in the house certainly perked up the winter. Would have chosen the exact same pictures as ome of the best. MISS YOU & COME BACK SOOOOONNNNN WITH ASHLEYYYYYYY.
LOVE YOU ALL!
