[gvivanco]

These are my 2 girls with their cousins (well, my niece's kids, so whatever that makes them....) Sophie is on the left, and Isabella is on the right. Believe it or not, Sophie is the 4 year old! She is way bigger than her 6 year old sister!

My little princesses!!

just clicked back over to see if you got the hang of it!

what beautiful girls Sophie and Isabella are. I love their names as well.

We are cruising with a DS6 and a DD4 so I hope they will all get to meet.

My DD4 has an American girl twin who she named Bella, I am working on a way to leave our Bella home, it will not be easy. . .she goes everywhere with us.

 

[gvivanco]

Kileybeth,

Yes, that will be a tough one for her to leave her special doll at home! Maybe she could take it, but compromise and leave her in the room??

Yes, I'm sure they'll all meet! I'm going to ask if Sophie can go in with the 5 year olds, because she will really want to be with Bella, and is big and mature for her age. At the time of the cruise, She will have about 4 months until she will turn 5, so it will be iffy......I have heard from other people about how accommodating they are on the Disney cruises, so I hope so! No matter, it will all work out!

I can't wait!!!!!

Thought I would add some more since I am finally able to post.....told you you would get sick of me posting pictures

These are some funny ones from our last trip to DW


When we entered the park DH got a map and was looking at where we wanted to go. A photographer came over and asked if we would like to have our picture taken. The photographer told Dh to give DD the map so it would look like she was leading us. Of course DS got upset because he didn't get it and went over to the bench to pout

the little ones share the bed a lot on vacations or when they sleep at my mom's house. We usualLy put a pillow in between so they don't roll on top of each other. This night we forgot, they started out with both heads at the top of the bed and this is how we found them in the morning

This was Spiderman breakfast. It was so much fun

This was Brooklyn after BBB and CRT

This is Brooklyn again...We have lots of these sort of pictures!

Thank you! Your girls are beautiful as well. I can't wait to meet everyone!

You don't know what you are asking when you say "send more" I am a photographer and have been off on sick leave. I could send thousands and thousands of pictures. My employees even make fun of me because I show off pictures of my kids so much! They are on display all over the studio and even my kids friends( who are only 6 and 7 years old) comment on how MANY pictures we have hanging in our house. I am pretty sure that by the time the cruise came around, no one would speak to me and as I approached people at the meets, they would be quickly telling me that they had to ....ummm...... be somewhere else....

Beautiful girls!! My almost 6 year old was excited to see another girl her age. She thought Sophie's dress was pretty. As for the age thing, we last did DCL in September 2007, Courtney turned 4 during the cruise and Cassidy was almost 7. They gave Courtney the 3/4 year old a trial and she was fine in with the 5-7's the whole cruise.

I will join the picture posting bandwagon. lol
Here is one of my current favorites of my girls, it was the night of their dance recital in June.

Courtney (almost 6) and Cassidy (almost 9)

Lori,

So, Courtney had just turned 4, and they let her stay in with the 5-7 year olds??

That's awesome! That should work out, then!! I'm so happy! Thanks for the info!!

Mamajo and Gretchen your kids are adorable! Hmmm a photographer <perk> Now I'm wondering how busy you will be on the cruise

Hmmm I didn't know we were "allowed" to post pics of KNC-kids not cruising with us. I will have to post a picture of Sawyer. He is 2 yrs 4mos and adorable of course. I can't get pics to upload to Photobucket from my laptop. So the only way I have been able to post pics is to email them to work, then upload to Photobucket. I have no clue what is wrong <blonde>.

Kileybeth-Are y'all taking the CIS shuttle to the port? We will have a rental car. DH will drop me off at the port w/ bags. Then take the shuttle to the port. If we can help make your life easier in anyway just let us know. If you are like us you will be picking up extra "stuff" once you arrive. I know we will be hitting the WalMart in Merritt Island.

Gretchen, Yes, Courtney turned 4 during the cruise. At first they weren't thrilled with the idea and they wanted to move Cassidy down to the 3 and 4 year old, but I pushed the issue. They said it would be on a trial basis and if there were any problems she would have to go back down. But she was fine and came home chanting 5-7's, 5-7's we rock!!!

 

[kileybeth]

LoriS, This is good news for my two as well. They are both at home with me still and are definitely best buddies. So having my DD4.5 have to be seperated from our DS6.5 might not go so well. I plan to play it by ear though because some of the stuff for the younger ones does sound kinda fun for her. Guess the deal is no switching back and forth unless the parent is in there with them I hear. They actually have to stay registered in one group right?

 

[kileybeth]

Sinderelly, DO post a pic of your little one!

And yes, the plan is for DH to drop us at the Port around 10am when they open and then return our van to CIS and take their shuttle back.

and Yes, we will be hitting up the Wally World once we get in town. I will forget something, lose something, break something, or more likely, not have room for something (as has been well documented already!) I'm sure!

Not sure exactly when we are getting into Cape Canaveral though. I'd like to stop in DTD for lunch at Earl of Sandwhich but not sure I can talk DH into it. It's still a big TBD at a later date. Would probably help to know who he will be working for at that point

 

[kileybeth]

AND in the spirit of picture posting, this shot is one of my favorites. It does included our college gradute boy who is not cruising with us but he had just returned from a year and a half overseas and could not believe how big the little siblings (or the teenagers!) had gotten while he was away and this just captures so much of that as well as how close those little two are in all things!

 

[kileybeth]

OMG!!! Sinderelly, I just reread your post! We came so close to having a Sawyer!!! We love that name so much! We ended up with a girl instead and only wanted it for a boy as it really was a reminder of the infamous Tom Sawyer for us!
