Dawn! Not quite caught up, but I just wanted to send you a I've been out of town again - Margot was born the day I left. I'm sorry for your hurt, and these things have a way of working out. I hope Jordan can see having peace with the family for the sake of Margot.

Hi Auntie Dawn!!

 

[IluvXU]

Glad you asked about flying restrictions.... I am trying to figure out Luke and his milk and food for our trip! Thanks for the links!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

you guys are so dirty minded!!!!!!!!!! i have no comment. i don't hot tub and tell. and besides....we're married!!!!

and dan, that actually WAS taken after we got out of the hot tub.....believe it or not!

i was going to say how pretty everything was that you saw, but since everyone was saying that i thought i would switch it up and comment on the suit. i dont have a dirty mind, just a good observer. hope i did not get you mad

i knew that it was taken after because why would you get out of the hot tub to take a picture, it is cold when you get out of hot tubs, we have owned one in our family for years.

also i got the release you sent me in the mail, thanks.

Glad you asked about flying restrictions.... I am trying to figure out Luke and his milk and food for our trip! Thanks for the links!

if you want to know baby food rules, dont rely on the websites, call the airport you are going to fly out of and talk to the TSA agents directly, dont just talk to the airport...when we went in december, everyone said all the food for our little guy would be okay, except the when i got the security check, she looked at all my baby food jars, i had 18 of them, and she almost took them, she said that i should have checked them, i said i did not want hte glass jars to break in my luggage and have baby food all over my clothes, she finally took themto her boss and got clearance for them and let me through but not after a hard time by the lady.

they also let me take in the formula container, because it was in the original container, but i would just call and talk to them and get a nameof the person you talk to so if you get there and have problems you can say who you talked to

FUN!!!! what a fun time you had in the mountains..that hot tub would have been my favorite part too..i love that you got to bring the "boys" too..they need vacations too after all

Hey, Dawn!

Lots to catch up since I've been gone on a non-disney vacation. So very sorry to hear what is going on with the new baby girl! What a great sister you are to get him a lawyer so fast! That definitely what he needs, a good lawyer! Maybe his ex is going thru alot of hormones and emotions right now after just giving birth and hopefully, things will calm down.

I can't imagine how angry and hurt you all must be. And to put on a happy face for the first visit! You all are so strong! Give her some time. The best thing your brother can do, in and out of court, is to be the calm one!

I'll be praying for him! Hang in there!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Your weekend getaway looked lovely and relaxing!

Sorry there is still drama between Jordan and Brett. Just keep supporting him! You're a great big sister!!

Oh, and I will be running 13.1 miles through the streets of Nashville on Saturday. Say a little prayer for me. I'm looking forward to it, but have been dealing with a sick daughter all week. She has a virus and has been running a temp. since Sunday. I called and talked with the nurse today, and she seemed to think that she would be fine by the weekend, since her temp. isn't as high as Monday, when we saw the Dr.

 

[Angelrose]

Hi Dawn. I have been enjoying your report. If you want to take hair spray, just get the kind in the pump bottles. I take along the travel size in my checked luggage and never had a problem. I just throw out whatever is in the travel size and put in my own.

 

[joy13]

What a beautiful vacation! It must have been so relaxing. See - I didn't think twice about the goats on the roof because there is a restaurant in Door County Wisconsin that has goats on the roof and we have gone there to eat since I was a little girl

Dawn
I have not brought myself to step on a plane since 2002.I gave flown all over the world and yet a sudden fear came over me in 2004, .just the other day I said I would do it again..with a prescription from my Dr of course

 

[lmillercrew]

I feel like you when it comes to people's TR's and staying caught up. I am SO far behind on so many reports.
First of all, let me say from first hand experience, that I completely understand where your brother is. My DH had a child with a high school girlfriend when he was 18. He saw her the day she was born, the next day he showed up at the hospital and the baby was all the way across the nursery and he wasn't allowed to hold her or see her. Your brother did the right thing by contacting a lawyer right away and getting CS started. Thankfully the laws have changed over the years for men and he will have more rights. (You work in the legal field, you know) Anyway, you all are doing the right things.
Glad you had a nice Anniversary and enjoyed your peace and quiet.

Wow this website actually has some of the best info I've seen in a long time. Very detailed and tell's you exactly what you need to know Items Permitted and Prohibited

One thing to remember in your carry on you must fit all those little 3oz bottles in one quart size ziplock bag....but you can carry whatever you want in your Checked bags

I think the checked bags can't weigh over 50lbs...but they might have changed that again too.

Notice: ITEMS NOT PERMITTED – NO EXCEPTIONS
Aerosols –
Not intended for use or consumption on the human body as toiletries or food

Sorry can't take your AquaNet

cool!!!! thanks so much. i will tell my grandma that she can't take her aquanet next time she flies!!!! she really does use that stuff - in the red can.

FUN!!!! what a fun time you had in the mountains..that hot tub would have been my favorite part too..i love that you got to bring the "boys" too..they need vacations too after all

thanks! and thanks about the advice on the hair spray.

so funny about the restaurant with the goats!

i hear ya! i'm so behind but slowly - very slowly - i'm getting caught up!

thanks for your words of support. it's just very frustrating. i keep stressing to brett to be patient and this will all work out the right way through the courts. there is a glimmer of hope though - i will elaborate in a minute. getting ready to do an update and i'm gonna say more there!

 

[punkin413]

i needed a break from work so it's update time!

i can't even remember everything that's happened with brett since the last time i updated. pretty much more of the same stuff. but we do have what could be good news. jordan called brett today and wants to meet him tomorrow at noon at a coffee shop in a bookstore at the mall so he can see margot for about half an hour. i'm suspicious of her motives just because of how all this has played out but i'm hoping this is a good sign. keep your fingers crossed for him! hopefully he'll be sending me some pictures soon! she's a week and 2 days old now and i know how fast babies can change.

also, keep my little furbaby in your thoughts! when i got home today sherman was coming down the stairs and the next time i looked he was laying in the floor. it was like his back legs wouldn't work. i ended up taking him to the vet and she says he's either got a bruised spinal cord or a slipped disc. the slipped disc could get better or worse. he was walking by the time we got to the vet though - just not putting any weight on one side and his right back foot won't straighten out. it's weird. she put him on some steroids and he's on "bedrest" for a few days. she says if he's not walking better by monday to bring him back in for x-rays.

on with the TR!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

last i left you we were bypassing the crazy wait at HM and anna, chris and luke had just taken in a story with belle.

once again, i will start with anna and then come back to us.

after belle's show they headed back towards the hub to take a closer look at the christmas decorations they didn't get to see too much of that morning since we were on a mission to meet some fairies. a couple of really pretty pictures she took a long the way.....

i love this one.....

check out this family's hair. apparently they all felt festive that day!

i love the wreaths on main street!

they looked down to see someone had decided it was nap time......

poor little dude!

more MK christmas decorations....

we were meeting back up in tomorrowland so they started heading back up main street and stopped for some photopass pics.

still snoozing.

check out the woman in this picture. it looks like she's gonna run over anna!

meanwhile with ray and dawn........

one attraction i always have to do at MK is mickey's philharmagic. i just love it! so we headed to fantasyland to check it out. the wait was 20 minutes.

i don't think i've EVER had to actually wait in line for this. we usually just walk in and wait for the theater doors to open.

we always take this pic but i love this one.

we waited until the people who don't follow directions realized that they can't stop and sit down in the middle of the theater and then found a seat. i sat down with excitement to enjoy my favorite 4-D show at disney world and then i look up to see this...........

yep, that was my view. i'm 5'3". just my luck.

ray offered to trade seats with me but i just shook my head and laughed.

continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=31495923&postcount=1676

 

[punkin413]

while we had been in line anna had called and asked if we wanted to meet at space mountain to use our fastpasses. so we headed that way. when i passed pooh's ride i couldn't believe the wait was 40 minutes!

when we got to space mountain luke was still asleep so we decided that anna and i would ride together and then ray and chris and that way if luke woke up one of his parents would be there. first of it was myself and anna's turn.

i wasn't feeling too hot but i cannot go to magic kingdom and not ride space mountain. it holds a special place in my heart because it was my first "big" roller coaster. it works out that we're not going this year because i do feel like i would just feel incomplete with no space mountain to ride.

anna got picture happy during this ride and these are some of my favorite pictures of the trip. first one of myself while we were loading - i was sitting behind her.

as we were taking off......look like you're having fun!

going down the blue lighted tunnel.......look like you're still having LOTS of fun!!!!!

okay.....maybe not so psycho, but still having fun!

and this one is just HILARIOUS!!!!!! i have no idea when she took this but apparently it was during the actual ride because everything's dark. this picture of anna is so funny - you can almost see her stomach down her throat if you look really hard!!!!!!

when we were on the escalator thing getting off the ride we were looking at these and we were laughing SO HARD! i'm sure some people thought we were crazy.

when we got back outside with the boys luke was still snoozing.....

ray and chris had struck up a conversation with a woman who was waiting for her husband and daughter to ride and so we sat down and started talking to her too while the boys went to ride. she was really nice! she said that they had been to MVMCP the night before (friday) and that it had been AWESOME - not crowded at all! this made me feel better because the woman that morning had told me that her thursday night experience was just horrific. i was hoping thursday night was a discounted night and that was the reason for the crowds.

luke woke up at some point in there and after the boys got off space mountain we decided to take a relaxing ride on the TTA......

still waking up.....

i took this of ray as we went through the dark part and i think he was really asleep!

next we decided to head to buzz lightyear. ray announced that the low scorer would have to buy everyone a casey's hot dog. i couldn't believe he wanted another one!!!!!

when we got to buzz the wait was crazy so we got fastpasses. they all really wanted a hot dog so we did actually end up going back to casey's. needless to say, ray was happy.

we barely made it across the street before the 3:00 parade started but when we got to casey's it was nice because a lot of people were watching the parade and the restaurant was fairly empty.

at this point i was starting to feel really icky. my stomach just wouldn't settle and i was nauseas. i was not in the least interested in a hot dog! so i told ray i'd just share some fries with him and to get me some milk to try to settle my stomach.

i love this picture of luke waiting on his food, watching cartoons.....

time to eat!

luke must have been STARVING because he never eats like this. anna usually fights with him to eat his food. it was so funny!

he scarved that thing down!

up next........serious shooting on buzz and luke's first encounter with the 999 happy haunts!!!!

 

[shannon47142]

Glad for an update on your brother... here is hoping the visit goes well.

Loving the update as usual.... sorry that you were not feeling that great though.. the space mountain pics are super fun!

 

[joy13]
