[aksunshine]

So sorry everyone!! Here is an update!!


If you have never had a chance to follow along on one of our journeys, my previous trips are linked in my siggie, with the exception of last year. I never got to finish it.

We have been visiting WDW every year since 2006. It was a fun, but short trip. We spent most of our week at the beach, b/c my DH, Matt, isn't a theme park fan and I was worried he would be miserable. He had gone to Epcot when he was 5 and remembered being miserable. He also went to Sea World that trip and loved it. I, on the other had, had been to MGM/DHS one day when I was 14 in the middle of summer, and one day whaen I was 3 to MK. So I planned one day at MK and one day at Sea World. Our DD, Isabelle was 3 and I was 6 mo pregnant with our son Levi.
Just arrived to FL!

Seeing the ocean for the first time.

Last day at the beach

Too early...

Last morning WDW

It was AMAZING! Matt even came home bragging! Since then he has bragged to everyone he meets that vaguelly mentions a trip to Disney. His greatest love? The Disney dining plan!!! LOL! That and Eeyore, but don't tell him I told you!

2006, as well as MOST of 2007 was a good time for us.

In September- October 2007 we took the most memorable WDW vacation of all! 10 marvelous days....The link to the full TR is in my siggie. Here are some highlights...

Levi LOVED MMCH!!! I let him watch it most of the day waiting to leave.

First day, bus to Epcot!

First day at MK

Here is a link to video of Levi getting dizzy on the teacups!

Chef Mickey's

Levi's idol...He wouldn't take his eyes off...

At the Beach

These are the last photos I have of Levi before he died. This is the day we came home.

Watching MMCH

Only a short week after breakfast with Mickey, we were struck by a truck running a red light. Isabelle, was treated at the first hospital and released, with the images of our accident to haunt her always. Levi didn't make it... Matt and I almost died, as well. We were bounced in and out of 4 hospitals. We didn't find out about Levi until he had been declared braindead for over 24 hrs. It was 10 days after the accident before we got to bury him.

 

[aksunshine]

Since then, we have gone back with Isabelle and relived our memories of Levi. I always feel a bit closer to him there.

2008- Thanks again to the DISboutiquers and the BIG GIVE!

Shhhh!!! I am not supposed to post this! It was a special request from a friend!!! But it needs to be shared! LMAO!

Hi Alicia I'm in.

 

[aksunshine]

Hello friends!!! Sorry this PTR has been a bit neglected. This is a rough time of year for me. It's officially been four years (last Friday) since the accident that took my Little Man. I miss he daily, but it's a bit rougher right now. I am doing better than past years, though.

I hope to finalize some plans this week!! I have been sewing like crazy for our trip and working on a special Safari Minnie top for Joy's daughter for their trip next month!

I have SO many cute things planned for my kiddos! Isabelle is 9 now, and super picky about clothes. I imagine this will be the last year I get to dress her this much.

Here!

Can't wait to read. I'm too chicken to do a TR period, pre or post!

I know that one of these days my girls won't let me pick their stuff out, too.
