10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat Cruise (I'm with BOB) Chapter #9

[JLDSMD]

just finished our packing, off to Virginia tomorrow, the Brits are invading you guys.
Have a good holiday Karen in Greece, the weather will be better there.
To anyone else going on vacation soon, have a safe and happy time, havent read back so i apologize if i have missed anyone.
Its been a hard week, Olivia finished junior school today, she is off to high school in september. She was happy leaving today but i had to be strong and not cry, still feel like crying now. she is going from a village school with less than 200 children in the school to one with approx 1000 there.
Anyway a super holiday to look forward to, so see you all on the other side of the pond for 2 weeks.
sorry robin and mike but we are invading your space. will let you know how comfy the basement is

Hope you're having a great trip.

Cheryl, did you see the Midwest announcement today? Looks like you might be safe with your December flights, however, that's only set if the company doesn't go under. I'm still worried about them even being here in August.

I've read a lot of comments on the Journal's site about people not being accommodated onto other airline's flights. Just s.o.l. I'm seriously considering just using the Air Tran tickets we have instead and forego the MW flight.

 

[JLDSMD]

Well, I only went back to page 20, but that's at least 1/2 the thread. I'm beat. I'm not even going to stay up and work once the system is back up.

I'll just get up early tomorrow and do what I needed to do then.

See you all some other time.

 

[JLDSMD]

Wait, I just noticed that AFEG has 2 more posts than me on this thread. Guess I'll stick around to take care of that.

 

[JLDSMD]

BTW Chris, what are you down to, 2 more weeks?

 

[JLDSMD]

O.K., this one should put me ahead of AFEG.

 

[JLDSMD]

Oh what the heck, why not an FO to boot.

I saw this pick the other day. I was going to post that DS was the same way - always slepts with both legs/feet out of the crib. I showed the picture to Suz and it brought back memories.

Then this morning, I go in his room to check on him and how is he sleeping, all the way to the foot of his bed with his feet through the rails of the bed.

I should have took a picture.

So Cass, it probably will continue when Kira grows up.

I remember you telling me that your boy slept like that....I believe it was when I posted this pic in February 2007....

So question for those of you with kids...when did they start sleeping in a regular bed? My SIL recently put her son in a regular bed and he's only 16 months old Kira is almost 20 months and there is NO WAY I would put her in a regular bed! She would never sleep, she would be into everything!!

My view is this: the first time she climbs out of that crib, I am taking it down and putting up a regular bed.

Seeing all those pics from KK1 makes me want to post one of my faves....

I think she ADORED all the attention she was getting

I see Neil peaking over at us in the background...

Hey Karen,
All this talk about trying on clothes got me thinking of the ones I WAS planning on taking on the cruise. Well I am officially a member of the "Clingy" club. I have come to the decision though that a girl my size is not going to be without a little hippie action going on even with bands of steel action underneath . Just glad Sean knows photoshop so maybe he can airbrush it a little bit.
Girls do you find that your body likes a certain weight? Mine is liking a certain weight that I am not happy with.

Becky love fear not,just stand beside me and you'll be fine in fact you'll properly have people trying to force feed you....

So Chris, were you at the British Open this weekend?

No Sir,but Ive been offered FREE tickets with hotel stay at Gleneagles for the Johnny Walkers in the back end of August....

Cass Lovely Pictures,we too have pictures of Ryan sleeping in that way in fact we have pictures of Ryan sleeping any way you can think of,the boy could sleep on a washing line....

 

[A fat english gent]

Laters....

 

[Timon]

I can't remember if I shared this with you guys yet??? Awhile ago I started to scrap our DCL cruise...I didn't get far, only did 8 pages Here's one of them....

Kira is so not like Ryan was....she never sleeps She gets the bare minimum she needs and that's it! I guess she's a lot like her mommy


I was so looking forward to taking video and pics of those moments where she falls asleep sitting up... you know like you see on America's Funniest Home Videos (Or Mel's trip reports ) but yeah, I don't think that will happen

 

[Timon]

Ok, here's one more to share....

 

[Timon]

Chris...don't forget to swing by Calgary before heading to your ship...Kira and I can stowaway in your luggage It's only about 22 hours north of Las Vegas

Ooooh! - I need Sean to photoshop me - can he edit off about 24 lb?

This is a pic of the Don "Ducky" Williams lithograph that I just won.......it measures 16" x 20"

Glad you won Andy

They never did answer this, did they?

Sorry - an E111 is a european medical card that gives you access to free medical care if you are ill/injured abroad in Europe. Everyone still takes out insurance cover, but its good as a backup

So sorry to hear that Brent won't be accompanying you on your EB trek back through that little stream in Panama, I like to call

THE PLANKY CANAL!!!​

I imagine you will miss his 15 whole days of "Good Morning Girls and Boys" I really did try to not wear the poor guy out... and I guess flying home to Aussie land is a bit easier from LA than from Orlando...

Here we are on Formal Night... (nice duds... thank you to my personal designer!!! )

(I have to run... have an update to do... )

Looking cool Planky

I remember you telling me that your boy slept like that....I believe it was when I posted this pic in February 2007....

When we transfered Ellis to a big boy bed we still put a mesh bed guard on the edge to stop him rolling out. He could get out if he wanted as the end was open, but I think he was about 2 1/2 cuz we had a cotbed so it was much bigger than a regualr cotsize.

Seeing all those pics from KK1 makes me want to post one of my faves....

I think she ADORED all the attention she was getting

I see Neil peaking over at us in the background...

I bet he was thinking "Thre must be someone famour over there... maybe its a little princess". I think maybe we were queuing for Mickey then, or taking photos of the model ship
She certainly was a little star onboard. I love ytour scrap book pages - you have waaaay more talent and patience han me - I jsut chuck the photos in an album.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Just weighed myself - lost 2lb which means I've reached my 2nd mini goal

I still ahve a long way to go, but at least the swimwear fits a little easier than before

Off to the gym now for a class then gym session.

[Verandah Man]

That was a quick 5 hours......Mornin' All............​

 

[Verandah Man]

Congrats Andy. Are you able to use more DVC points or are you just going to stay where ever. I know they have some killer rates out using the Disney Visa right now.

We will most likely go stay at our place for those two extra nights.........

 

[Verandah Man]

With that combination, I'm surprised you didn't fall into a power nap Andy.

I nearly did........
