will I magically reunite with Toto?
Toto, the toilet, that is.
Life on the cold, hard porcelain ring has not been the same. Toto was always perfectly heated for my seated pleasure. Toto did all the work for me. Gentle spritzes of warm water followed by warm air dry. Is that too much information? My point is, I'm back to life. Back to re-al-ity.
Our trip to Tahoe was a nice break from the day-to-day routine.
Not only were the accomodations OFF. THE. HOOK. (as the young kids are saying these days),
but, we also got to be with family!
In my 6+ years of marriage with Troy, we have never had an official reunion on his side of the family. We've had gatherings here and there, but never a planned reunion with all the kids present. For the first try, we did pretty well, I think. We were only short one family, but they have vowed to be there next time! (right guys? You were missed!)
We only had 3 short days in Tahoe, but I think we made the most of it! Here are some of the highlights.

LOVE the pictures!!!
Seriously...you make me so jealous! Those pictures were absolutely georgeous!!! What fun beautiful memories. It looks like you all had so much fun together.
P.S. I'm amazed they had those toilets there? I don't know if I would like the seat being heated for me, I'd feel like someone else must have just been sitting there for a while?!?!
jen...hee, hee...I am laughing at your P.S. comment. I think you'd get used to it!

this makes me homesick- we love tahoe. that's were I spent years in girls camp. how fun! I always love to see your pictures- they turned out great!
ps my cousins are half japanese and it's pretty standard to have one of those toilets (but they had a removable less expensive one). maybe you won't have to go without?!
wow, we are in Tahoe this week. Sorry to have missed you.
Sand harbor is where we always spend the 4th of July. Your pictures are so fabulous. I need to break down and get some training and oh yeah a real camera. What kind do you have?
p.s. this is Sharalee on my mom's account.
So many awesome photos! You are amazing and what a beautiful place! You all look so happy! Love it!
