Hey Chrisw... Welcome to Unomas! And yes, we'd love to meet ya in STL... I live in the STL area.. in the county.. where abouts do you live?
The meet is the weekend of March 12th and I put the link of the Best Western in an above post also. Being in the area, you might not need to book a room.. are you close enough to drive in for the day or something or would you be staying overnight at the BW?
I think everyone is coming in on Sat... more then likely... then Sat night we will probably hang out at my house, chip in for pizza and just have fun! Then Sunday it's up to everyone what they want to do.. and the weather of course... and maybe do something Monday too.. for whomever is still here!
A.

Becky, that sounds cool! That way you'd be here at about 11 am, noonish. And then only FIVE more hours to STL! LOL That's quite a long drive for you, girl! You're going to be exhausted! I have my running shoes, believe me...I definitely need them with my 2 rugrats. They do keep me busy, as I'm sure Justin does you! I can't wait to get them all together! They'll have a blast...and wear us out big time! I'll email ya here soon and give you my number. Have you booked a room yet at the hotel? Just curious, we haven't yet. Need to today!

I went ahead and made my reservations for the 2 nights! (12-14). Would have been better if my spring break was the same as the kids, could've stayed longer! Can't wait! hugs, Kristi

I have a suitcase that I put all of our bathing suits and towels. Didn't want to put them in the summer clothes just in case we went to a hotel or party and needed them. Well, coming back from Home Depot last night, Ron goes " Thanks for letting me buy all the tools, You're going to have to go and get you something." I told him I already have and that he just doesn't know it yet. He goes what, and I finally said we are going to St. Louis. He goes, "I already know that, you have the bags packed already."....LOL! (he found our swimsuit case thinking that I was packing a MONTH early!!) Boy, I would really be in a hurry!! lol. hugs, Kristi

Staci, I am a night before packer also!! That was just where I put our swimsuits so i wouldn't have to search through the summer totes..lol. I knew we might need them during the winter for parties or hotels. I need a bathing suit also but I wear a t-shirt over it anyways, gaining wayyy too much. I have to go to West County Dermatology February 15th. I hate when they don't make the appointments at childrens. I know where that is!!! I'll get lost in St. Louis...lol. k, gotta go break up a fight, hugs, Kristi

Girls, I am so happy I don't have to pack to get to meet you all. I tend to be caught shoving things in bags as we are heading out the door. Oh well, I'm organized with almost everything else. (hee, hee,hee) If anyone wants directions, or ideas for outings, we are a family on the go. I have lived in St. Louis area all of my life, and field trips are a way of life for us. Plus, I think we have been at almost every medical building in the city and county-oh what fun, so I know the location of most or someone who does. Special note of interest : St. Louis Children's Hospital opened, last month I believe, a clinic just for children with Down Syndrome. Trying to keep down all the running around, and localizing specialists just for our kids-I thought that was kind of neat. I can hope we do not need to use the facility often.
Looking forward to meeting!
Chrisw

Becky, I have some bad news, Hayli won't be going. I didn't know that her church trip was that same weekend and she had already signed up. I am giving her a hard time about it so maybe I can change her mind. Have Matthew email her and let her know she is missing out on the zoo, swimming, and most of all seeing him!!! I have a feeling my mom and sister had a part in this. Other than that, I can't wait to see you guys again!! NOt long now! Hugs, Kristi
