Hi Dawn!!

Have you been to DW lately?

Nope, and I'm having big time withdrawal symptoms! August will be our next trip. My daughter, Stephanie, and Elizabeth are going with us! This will be Elizabeth's second time but first as a toddler! Really hard to take Skylar out of school. He missed a week from sickness, but wasn't as bad because we were able to keep up on the work.

We had alot of snow here so I can imagine what you guys got! Have you been doing anything special this winter?

You'll have so much fun in WDW with Elizabeth! I loved taking my dd's as toddlers.

We haven't done much of anything...we got hit pretty hard here this year with colds...I figure it's because it's Kierra's first year of school. Glen took Easter off and we just stayed home with the girls. I have no real excuse for not posting...

I'm glad everything is going well! Sickness this year seems to be everywhere! Knock on wood, I've escaped it all so far! Elizabeth had croup last week--it was awful!

Maybe next trip, you can try to get to Florida early so that you can recoup from the long flying day before getting on the cruise and no ear infections! We are REALLY looking forward to going this November, maybe more so than the first time, now we know...

Really glad to hear from you! Don't be a stranger!

 

[Jaime]

We plan to be in Florida at least two days prior from now on...it's way just too hard on the girls...

We were all so excited about our first cruise...but I can see how you would be more excited the second time around...

I'll post more I promise...

Hi Jaime,

Hi everyone,

Is your blood starting to "thicken" yet? You're probably freezing!

Thanks for asking about the knees, Melanie. I discussed it with my primary care doctor last month and he suggested going to a school hospital...like U of M. But, I don't know, it's scary. I just don't have the energy or money that it involves to pursue this right now.

Dawn, I had Alex at a school hospital (Univ. of Neb. Med. Center). There are really good doctors there. The only thing I didn't like was because it's a teaching school they come in and bug you ALL THE TIME. I had Jackson at a different hospital and it was much more restful.

HI JAIME!!!

I missed you!! Hope all is well!

We are booked on this cruise and hope to be able to keep it. You might not have heard that I quit my job Feb. 1st and am now working for our business. So things are a little tight as we are making the adjustment!!

If we can't make this one my plan is to move the reservation to 2010!

It really was bummer that everyone got so sick in your family. Do your girls still talk about the trip? Alex LOVES to talk about the "Mickey Mouse Boat" and going to the beach and eating pizza... He remembers a lot and brings up things we did all the time.

 

[Jaime]

Hi Kathy & Melanie

Melanie...that's great about staying home and working...I can relate to the adjustment...we had planned for me to stay home until Kierra went to school...never thought we'd be blessed with two princesses...so now we are trying to make it until Alicia starts school...that was the main reason we didn't rebook onboard. The girls talk about "Mickey's boat" all the time...Kierra will often sing songs she learn't in the lab...so we really want to try to take them in 09 when they will get to be in the lab together.

Kathy...sounds like you have made some really big changes since November...I hope everything is well.

LOL Although, I know it's not funny!

 

[mruhaak]

Try to stay warm Kathy!!! Summer's coming!! At least you missed the winter!

Jaime- Yes Alex has such a good experience... that's why I want to take them both again! That's really the driving force behind it for me. I'm a convert... I didn't grow up with Disney because my parents never took us there. But I love seeing the excitement in the kid's eyes.

Howdy all,
well it is sunny, but cloudy and raining every 10 minutes, it just cant seem to make up its mind

Going to be in the 30's at night but saturday and sunday is going to be close to 70 so maybe I can take off my jacket for an afternoon.

Not up to much here, just applying for work and walking the dogs.

Hope everyone is doing well,

Kathy

Morning Gang!
I won't be around much this weekend since we're attending a conference so I'll try to keep up!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning gang,
well we are finally a bit warmer today, suppose to be upper 60's. YEAH!!

Maybe I can actually take my jacket off while i am inside the motorhome
I slept with it on last night plus a quilt and sleeping bag open like a blanket over me to stay warm.
Yes we have a furnace but it onlys eems to heat the one end of the place and barely puts out heat at the other end.

Have a great weekend everyone,

will be back later,

Kathy
