Great pics.. as always. I love seeing the pics of GKTW. I can't wait to go, and of course the ice cream!!!
Ok...I am totally in tears. Maybe I am too emotional...but you got me on the first post (AK/Epcot day) when you explained how much having a child with special needs affects the whole family. That is so true! I think that is what is so hard for Lauren's family...they have Lauren's issues...and her dad with the diabetes and her brother has digestive issues, too. So all of the problems affect all of them...it's hard for them.
anyway...your pictures were awesome. I am so jealous that you guys made it to Epcot. I really wanted to do the Test Track lounge!!
Your take on the Christmas party is so interesting. It is so neat and noteworthy how much each thing is different to each family. Your kids, being older, seem to have not been as "into" the GKTW parties as much? They were more interested in the putt putt, swimming, etc. But other families that have younger kids seem to LOVE the parties...especially Christmas! But I am glad your kids enjoyed it...
What gifts did they pick? If you don't mind my asking...I wonder if William would have liked what they had?
But...my tears...I think... are from the fact that you took time out of your trip to thank the One who brought you through all of this...Wow. I wish we had done that. How sad. We didn't even see the chapel.
Wonderful update!
I can't wait to hear about the Very Merry Christmas Party!
Thanks so much for sharing with us. You make me want to leave now...
Also wish your OSU boy's had upset OU so my Tech Boy's could be playing this weakend.
Sorry we couldn't help you out-lol! Hey , we did root for Tech when they were playing Baylor- does that count for anything?
Watching the OU/OSU game was a bit odd at my house. I graduated form OSU and david from OU. Tucker is a die hard OU fan ( and plans to go there) William is die hard OSU. Sam and Nathan both lean towards OU. But we all want to see an Oklahoma school do well/play for a national championship, etc ( there was a time I couldn't say that though). So William and I conceded that it would be better for OU to win- but then when David said they really needed to win big to jump above Texas-well, that was hard to swallow! So at least we held our own for most of the game- and then William and I "okayed" it for OU to score those extra points at the end-lol!
