OMG, my daughter just called to tell me she is expecting again. She will be due sometime in May. I just don't know if I am ready for this. My other grandkids are13 and 11. We were done with all the bottles and diapers. However, I know that I will not be able to get enough of this newest one but the time he or she arrives. Just wanted to pass this along. Lois

Lois,
Congratulation! That is GREAT news. Having grandkids is great! You get to spoil the heck out of them and when the are tired and cranky give them back to mom.

Welcome je5!! Glad to have you aboard!

MamaKoss hope you are feeling better.

It won't be long now. Hopefully us stragglers will get our docs today!

Nice pics everyone!

Mamakoss: I hope you are feeling better, at least you are getting it out of the way before the trip. I hope you are back to feeling great in no time.
*****I am officially packed and ready to go. I spent all day yesterday packing like a crazy person. I'm ready to GO!!!!! Now, I have only 8 days left before we leave! Happy Monday.

Ok ... if I did this right... it's me and Dh(Howard) at the Tempe Regatta.

Nope... I told you I have training wheels on my mouse!

Nice pics everyone! A special thanks to Dan for posting mine!

11 full days (8 work days) to go for me (I am flying in on Sept. 7) but it feels like an eternity!

I'll keep an eye out for leis at the port.

I'll get back to work now...

The tickets came today

We told the kids last night. We told them that we wanted to see how much Disney clothes we each had. They went to their rooms and rummaged around for a while and came out with their stacks while DW and I did the same. After going through the piles we asked how many days they thought we could go wearing only Disney clothes? Answer: 7, maybe 10. Hmmmmm...

After a few min of discussion we decided it was time to put it all away and DD 11 asked why we asked them to get it all out anyway... We kinda blew off the question and asked what they thought we could do with it all. They said they could go put it in their rooms again, DW and I started takling about maybe stacking it in the guest room, or maybe in suitcases... At that point we pretty much spilled the beans and DD11 was bouncing around the room like a rabbit while DD7 was still not sure if we were teasing them...

ANNYWAAAAY... THE TICKETS ARE HERE!!!

I've just booked Waverunners at KW for an island tour at 1pm. Anyone else?

Anyone done the "Pirate Encounter" or "7 mile beach break" on past trips?

In the past we've done the Sting Ray City (several times) and Island tour, but we're looking for something different this time...

Any sugguestions?

I hear that being a Grandparent is the best job out there, I'm willing to wait for a while though...

Our docs are here too! Yay! Time to start packing!

Wow, I'm sure that Brent getting married is breaking a lot of hearts here on the DIS, I've seen a few "shrines" to Brent!

I like Rachael as a cruise director, she does have a great accent! But what I'm really keeping my fingers crossed about is that we have the same band. The ship band we had on our '05 cruise was fantastic!

Yeah, the Charles Marshall Band does kick butt!

A picture of Stephen and I

Is it time yet??

I know it isn't and I got a ton to do before I leave. I have a night meeting the rest of the nights this week.

One day closer.

 

[fltink]

Ok, so here we are.....


The first photo is my siggie pic, blown up, so again, we have in the back row, my sister in law Dee, husband Jay, servers Aswald and Roberto, and mother in law Beth, holding niece Cady. Bottom row, Donnica, me (Jenn), best pal David and "he who shall not be named".

This second pic is my niece Princess Cady more recently.

This final pic is my sister in law Heather (mother of Cady), who was taking the other large group photo. I picked this shot because this is how she will look to you most of the time you see her.

I only have about 6 more hours to work before we leave this Saturday. OMG it is less then one week away. That being said if anyone wants info added to the roster I need it soon. I will try to have it current before I leave but the sooner I have the info the better.

I believe I have added all the newcomer but I may have missed someone. If I have please let me know. I am tracking Room numbers, dining times, first names, Kids ages, any special celebrations and shore excursions. PM me or post them on the thread if you want others to have that info.

One day closer. Got to go work on packing!!!!! Lois
