[aksunshine]

Awww, Betty, I'll be so happy if we can meet! We also have an Illuminations meet on Sept. 3, if you wanna join! What do your ADRs look like and your park days, does anything overlap?
Yep, 1 boy (Blayne2) and 1 girl (Jaslyn6). You are such a sweetie!

 

[MouseTriper]

Thanks! Is pluto your favorite? Or are you up to something? HHMMM?

Hey NOOOOOO trying to get hints....you know the rules. LMBO!!!!

Oh I so need a hug today! Matt is in a crappy mood, and getting very little sleep today. Looks like we may FINALLY settle on property damages, but it doesn't look like they are going to cover much "property" except the car itself, and they aren't going to pay the last 8 mo that we have been paying the payments. Stupid insurance lawyer! His letter was harsh, too. aT ONE POINT HE SAID "THE DEATH". He has a name, its Levi! It's music to my ears, but he doesn't undestand.

Oh sweetie, I am so very sorry!!! Here is a BIG virtual hug for you!!! and another... ...and another

That is awful he doesn't even use Levi's name. His beautiful name...LEVI...!!!! (I love that name, I have a slightly yonger cousin named Levi).

Want more picture you say? OK!
More form our 2006 trip.

This was right before we got to to beach. I've always loved this picture!

I love all the new pictures ....except I must say that "bird" picture freaks me out. Have you ever seen the movie, THE BIRDS???? SCARY!!! :

 

[MouseTriper]

Here are some more cute pictures, since you guys seem to like them so much. And, hey, I'm a mom who likes to show off her children!

Notice her hair wrap; she used to twirl her hair into very large rats nests, so she twirled that instead!

Isabelle has a full leg cast here, can you tell?

Isabelle's Princess Tea Birthday Party;

Levi's Bug Birthday Party;

Oh I LOVE all these pictures!!! You share as many with us as you want. I love the kids birthday pictures!! Do you have more from Levi's Bug party....that sounds like the perfect kind of party for a little guy!!!! You are such a wonderful mom Alicia!!!

 

[MouseTriper]

Oops I wanted to say I ADORE that picture of Levi crawling under his bouncy seat thing. He is so cute!! Look at those big blue eyes, so handsome!!!

I also think the one of Isabelle and Levi kicking back on that chair is adorable!!! ADORABLE!!

 

[aksunshine]

Thanks Beth! I think the others are still one my old computer! Darnit! I think I am going to have to plug it up one of these days!

LOL! I've seen the birds! Hitchcock was a strange fellow!

 

[aksunshine]

Thanks! Those are a couple of my favs too!

Sadly, lawyers can be harsh. I was involved in a car accident and there was a lawsuit and it was just horrible. Here's a hug for you...hopefully it will make you feel a little better.

Enjoying ALL of the pictures! Your daughter is so beautiful! And Levi, what a cutie...I can see how he is your angel.

I distinctly remember the first thought I had as I came across pictures of your two children on the disboutiquers thread, they were in their POOH customs by a tree and I was wowed by Levi's eyes,such beautiful eyes!! I followed along a bit on that thread -altho I dont sew a stitch, but I was always amazed at the friendly and waaaay talented people on that thread. I so enjoyed seeing both of your little ones in various amazing outfits. Then a few months later I read a message from HeathandJavens mom and I cried like I am as I write this. I hold you and your family close in prayer and I smile when I think of those beautiful eyes of Levis. Im happy that u are writing this trip report as it gives many of us a place to visit pictures of both your son and daughter- and enjoy them both right along with you.Thank u for being so brave - and thank u for sharing. Keep those pix coming as I cant help myself from smiling right along with those smiling eyes! Sending pixie dust to your sweet daughter for a n exciting wonderful trip. Enjoy and hugs to u.
with deepest sympathy and friendship,

Thank you Karen. Levi's eyes were just gorgeous. It amazes me that a brown eyed mommy and hazel eyed daddy had such a vibrantly blue eyed little man. I miss those smiling eyes so much.

These are so great as are all the new pictures that have been added. I wish that I could just hug you everytime I see Levi's beautiful face on my computer screen. You are in my prayers always.

Thank you for letting me share.

Awww I wish I could help you with that old computer. I am praying so hard that all those images we talked about are indeed on that computer!!!! I really, really hope so!!!!

And yowsers...I hate that movie...the Birds....lol!

 

[aksunshine]

I guess I may try to work with that computer sometime today. I think I'll have to take it somewhere to have the videos pulled though.

 

[Tanya90210]

I wish I lived closer... I'd be there now tryin to help ya

 

[aksunshine]

Good news is there are more pigs than i thought! Bad news is my pc Internet isn't working now! Arrgghh....

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

stoppin by to say Good afternoon on your PTR!! Its been a busy morning here so I am just now getting a chance to get online.

Im soooo excited about seeing you guys in just a few months!!!

 

[Disney Brat]

I am a long time lurker over at the boutique thread, where I first saw your works...my mom prefers to hand sew things, so I know what kind of work you put into those clothes!! Through that I also learned about the accident and Levi, and I am so sorry, I still say prayers for you guys! I also followed along on your past TR. I am so happy that I found your PTR! I am really happy that you guys are going back to WDW! I can't wait to hear more of your plans, and hear all about your trip and Dis Meets when you guys get home!!

 

[bettyann29]

Awww, Betty, I'll be so happy if we can meet! We also have an Illuminations meet on Sept. 3, if you wanna join! What do your ADRs look like and your park days, does anything overlap?
Yep, 1 boy (Blayne2) and 1 girl (Jaslyn6). You are such a sweetie!

The only thing that overlaps is the meet at Fantasmic as we will be in Hollywood Studios that day and will stay for the evening.. Are you guys gonna be at that meet at 10 pm??

 

[Goofy22]

Alicia-

I am so sorry for your lost I just sat here and read this entire thread and cried! I love those Baby Blue eyes! He is a gorgeous angel! I have a angel too! In my signature you will see it. He is my 6yr old nephew! We were in Disney in April 2003 the entire family! Me and Dh and DD and DS and my Sis and her DD and Ds Ds that is now our angel and my Dad and Mom! We lost him 9 months after our trip my sister had a house fire and he was pronounced immediately my other nephew was also but he was revived by the works of God! And my Niece got out unharmed along with my sis's boyfriend . My sis was at work when it happened ! I got a phone call froma cousin that lived down a few doors! It was heart wrenching but to get to the point we all went back to Disney this past April minus my Sis(she couldnt get off work!) and My Nephew Tyller our Angel. It was so hard and we stayed at the same exact place it just worked out that way! But it was like you said bittersweet. I wish you all the prayers in world! I know how I felt and still feel and he was my nephew a piece is missing that will never be replaced and my son and him were 1 1/2 apart and very close! That was a huge thing to help him get through! He was only 5 and didn't quite understand why his buddy wouldnt be back.But I just want you to know we are here for you and I know there are very long hard days ahead but stay strong for your daughter and you will make it through it ! I's not that it ever gets easier you just find a way to cope with it that makes it seem a little easier I can't explain it there is no words to explain it but Hang in there. We are at Pop also but we are there from 8/24 thru 8/31! Maybe we will see you one of our last days! I can't wait to see all these beautiful outfits also!!! I'm so excited for you and your family!
