Veronica, They are adorable. I miss those ages so much. Now they are teenagers and those cute days are few and far between. ...lol... I want 1 more but jeff is hesitant because he wants to be free to travel more and having a baby won't be easy to do that.My youngest is 11 and i am feeling less needed and really want to adopt a baby. I can't have any more kids on my own i almost died having austin. Afternicole they said no more but i didn't listen. Anyway we are still in the talking phase right now. I have no idea how i got onto this subject. A little to heavy for a disney board. Sorry

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. Its are hard to get them looking at the camera half the time but we did get a few nice pictures from the trip. '

Michele- Hope everything works out for you and whatever you decide about more kids. I know its difficult. We decided we were done after our two but this weekend I'm planning on going through the attic and get rid of a bunch of baby stuff and its still sad and makes you second guess for a while.

Have to get Bryan ready for school but I will try to check in later.

Veronica - what gorgeous photos, your kids are so cute

Michele - where you have quoted my post, you have removed a ] at the end of my name, if you go into your post to edit it, and put the ] back in, it should work (I think)

I left everything exactly as you posted this time . Hopefully it will work.

Yah Thanks mandy. That's two things you helped me with.
Have a nice day ladies. I have to go return a ton of phone calls now. Winter is usually our slow season. The phone rarely rings..lol..Well chat later

Michele, I know exactly where you are coming from. I miss those years too, when they relied on us for everything (and there was no arguing about what they were wearing ). I am thankful that I do have a lovely relationship with my girls and we enjoy going out shopping etc. But as they grow up they don't need you as much - and I do miss the time I used to get lots and lots of hugs But I am so pleased that they both have some lovely friends, and as a group they are happy to interact with us too

But would I want another one, I don't think so, as I feel that Paul & I are getting a bit of our own life back too

Good luck with your decision to adopt, I think it takes a very special person to do that

Have a fun weekend everyone

I am going to attempt to put some photos of the kids that were taken in November on the Magic. I have never tried to put photos in my post so I hope this works.

Great pics - the kids are adorable!!!! I swear one of these days I am going to do that photobucket! LOL

1 more day till PARTY TIME!

Thanks girls,
Jeff is adopted so he has some issues with it. He still wonders why his mother gave him up and he was always looking for his "real parents" so he thinks if we adopt our child will have the same feelings and issues. Anyway no where close to deciding on that . What i do know for sure is that i have great kids and we are going on our 2nd disney cruise in just 7 months (and a great husband) lol.. I pulled out the pictures from our last cruise today and i started thinking about all the things i didn't take pictures of that i have to do this time.I'll check in later after i make dinner.

Hi Ladies
Cute pictures of the kids!!!!
Deciding on adding to your family is such a huge decision isn't it? We feel so blessed with our 3 girls and are NOT having anymore, but even now sometimes at dinner I look at that one empty chair and think what if???
Then someone spills the milk or calls their sister a name or complains about something and the moment is lost I agree with Mandy too about getting to enjoy some more time with my DH will be nice as the girls get a little older.
And needless to say one penguin eating dog right now is about all the animal I can handle

 

[suzannef]

Mandy have a great time at the spice girls tomorrow. We are going to Disney's High School Musical on Ice at 3pm tomorrow. We loved the show last year and hope this one is just as good.

Michele - I hope you enjoyed your quiet time with Jeff last night, I am also the taxi driver around here, and I seem to spend most of my time ferrying the girls and their friends around

Morning veronica,
Do you have any fun plans for this weekend?

Michele

 

[sarahsmom73]

Hi Girls!

Sorry.. I have been out of commission with a really NASTY bug! Ahhhh The joys of being a teacher!

My excitement! I BOOKED OUR FLIGHT THIS MORNING!!!! It was only $104 each way non stop and the best part is it is from an airport 45 minutes from home with free parking!!! Now I really am sooooooooooooooo excited!!!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

 

[nikkyluvsmickey]

Morning Jen,
Congrats on booking plane. It makes it seem more real once the airfare is booked. You got lucky with the fares we are paying $99.00 heading out but $139.00home . No free parking either so we had to hire a limo for 120 each way. But it's my vacation and i am not going to dwell on the fortune it is costing me just to get to florida and home...lol. Anything fun planned for this weekend? I just dropped all my kids off at their various friends and now i am going to take a long hot bubblebath.

Hello!

Michele - Are you enjoying your quiet day? No official plans for me this weekend Its been a crazy week so I am glad that we have nothing to do. I just climbed down from the attic cleaning out baby things Its very hard deciding what to keep and what to get rid of but I need the storage space. I'm trying to save a few things for me and a few things for my nieces who are starting families.
Jen ...congrats on the airfare! I haven't book our airfare yet. I am trying to wait until Southwest releases their dates but I have also been looking at other options just in case.
Where did you book your airfare from Michele?


Back to the attic unitl Emily wakes up. I'll check in soon.
