I am so glad my pixie dust worked and you were able to see Margot. She is so cute. I am really looking forward to the new Alice In Wonderland movie. It looks so awsome!!!!!! Thanks for posting the link.

Oh, and the vitamins - sounds wierd, but put them in a cup of apple cider vinegar - if they dissolve in 20-30 minutes, you are absorbing them just right. If it's shorther than 20, they are dissolving too fast and end up in your urine, longer than 30, they are coming out the other end. They say porta-potty workers don't believe in vitamins because they see so many of them - gross! Sorry for the TMI. Just that alot of people spend way to much $$ on vitamins that aren't even working for them.

i just tried this and i don't think my test was very accurate because my pills are in a capsule and therefore they float. so the whole pill was not submerged. it's been almost an hour and it still hasn't completely absorbed but i think it's because of the capsule. plus my apple cider vinegar was really old because i never use it. don't know if that matters or not!

Oh, cool link, Dawn! Thanks for sharing! Tim Burton is such a visual genius! I wonder who is playing the Cheshire Cat?

Stephen Fry but I can only find that he is doing the voice and haven't been able to find any concept art.

So pleased you got to spend some time with Margot and I bet being with all those babies made you clucky

Oh, how perfect!!! He will be spot-on as the Cheshire Cat!

Dawn so glad you got to see Margot. She is a doll and it looks like you guys all had a great time together so glad Jordan was nice to Brett on Father's Day weekend. It was really good to see you again and yes Brooklynn did remember you. When you and Erica headed out from the Disney Store Brooklynn started chasing after you which caused me to have to chase after her pushing the double stroller through the crowded mall. I was quite a sight MeMom said. Brooklynn has looked at the Hippo meet picture several times and can name everyone in it. She has a mind like a steel trap. Hope all those babies rubbed a little pixie dust on you so that you can soon be typing with one hand while feeding with another!

 

[MaceysMom]

Glad you had fun at the hippo meet.

Margot is so big. Was it awkward having Jordan at the dinner table?

I'm glad you had a great Nashville trip. My cousin and I can't wait to go back. We have talked about it everyday since we have left.

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Your niece has grown a lot! She does have your bros eyes! He's a cutie pie by the way. Looks like you guys had a blast in TN! (And a big 'ol Dismeet too!) Glad to have ya back....I wish I had more time for Dis.

 

[MagicShell]

It is so good to see pictures of you holding Margot. I know you have waited for a long time to do that. She looks like she has grown so much. This was a great update with lots of cute little ones. It made me smile.

 

[MA pigletfan]

beautiful babies!!! Margot is getting so big..loved the painted toes hahah!!
OH sidenote: did i miss it..who is playing alice??

 

[LISAMWDW]

Great pics! Adorable babies! So glad you were able to spend some time with your niece!

 

[xoktenox]

Dawn what adorable babies, all of them!!

I'm so happy to hear that Brett's getting to spend some quality time with Margot. That little girl is such a peanut! I love how she "talks" to Brett when you put her on her stomach facing him, thats precious!

 

[lmillercrew]

What a fun weekend Dawn! Those babies are too cute! So happy for you that you got to see Margot. I know how important she is to you. Plus Erica, and MeMom and Jill!! An added bonus.
Umm, as far as the cop thing goes, I had a similar experience a couple of years ago There's nothing more frustrating than having someone tell you that you ran a stop sign and you know you didn't. Glad you didn't get a ticket though. I did, and thankfully my DH took care of it for me. Gotta love lawyers sometimes.

 

[kschafer]

Looks like you had a great weekend! The Dismeet looks like a fun crew and I am SO glad to hear that you got to spend time with Margot and things seem to be improving between Brett and Jordan. It's the best thing they can do for that little cutie they have!

 

[punkin413]

Hmmm, it must be a sign because WHOAAAAA thats a lot of babies you saw this weekend!!!!!
They were all so adorable!!!!!!

Okay, the next hippo/dis meet I am so jumping in your trunk and you will have a stowaway!!!!!

seriously! that's what i thought too. you are welcome to come!!!! we would have a blast.

I'm glad to see that Jordan has come around - little girl's (and big ones too) need their Daddies! Looks like a really nice weekend

yeah, she's being semi-decent. i just hope it's genuine and it lasts.

I had a great time seeing you and thanks again for inviting me to dinner!!

One of my FAVORITE places and a favorite friend

Great pics!!

** I guess it was Metro that pulled you over?? They can be weird sometimes. I had one pull me over for 41 in a 35 (which I could have sworn was a 40 anyway) and took my info and let me go. I've never been so mad, usually I'm nervous thinking of getting a ticket.

me too!!!!! i'm glad we could get together. i'm so mad that i forgot to get a picture of us at dinner.

yep, it was metro.

Great pictures from your weekend! Love all the babies! You and I are at the same place in life as far as babies are concerned. I've been getting lots of information lately. I'm sure you've been doing your own research, but I found a couple of good websites. I'll PM you if you're interested.
On a separate note, I love Nashville too. One of my best friends got her PhD from Vanderbilt, so I had the opportunity to visit her a few times. It's such a great city and so much different from Boston.

sure, i'd love to see the websites. just PM them to me. i love nashville! i think it's just the right size.

Dawn, Margot is beautiful. Glad you got to spend time with her and the rest of your family.
I wish I could have made the hippo meet. I told MeMom I'm coming to the next one and bringing Ty. Ya'll look like you had such a good time.

i agree! i hope you do get to come to a meet! it's so nice to see everyone in person, if only for a few minutes.

Margot, conner, bella all precious babies!!
sounds like you had a busy but fun weekend with family

they certainly are! i did...it's always busy when i go home for a visit.

Look at you surrounded by all the babies...good practice huh? Sounds like a great weekend!

ya think???

Oh, I think it's a sign....babies everywhere!

I'm glad you made it to the Hippo meet. What a good looking group of ladies!
It's fun to see you all together.

Brooklynn and Bella looked adorable.

I'm envious of your visit to the Disney Store, mine closes this week.

Margot is sweet, she looks like a babydoll. She had a cute little outfit on.
It's so wonderful that your brother is getting to spend time with her. She sure is Daddy's little girl.

You had a very full weekend and managed to spend time with all of your family and some friends too.

Good to hear you are back home safely!

i think it's a sign, too! so sorry to hear your disney store is closing. that's happening a lot but fortunately the one at the mall near me is still open.

Looks like you had a great weekend.

it was busy but fun!

Busy, fun, happy times this weekend and then you went home to a loving husband and two sweet doggies. You're a lucky girl!

that i am!

All those babies are just precious!!! Glad you had fun in Tennessee!

i know...they were all so sweet! thanks.

 

[punkin413]

I am so glad my pixie dust worked and you were able to see Margot. She is so cute. I am really looking forward to the new Alice In Wonderland movie. It looks so awsome!!!!!! Thanks for posting the link.

thanks for that pixie dust! i can't wait for that movie! alice is one of my favorites.

Oh, cool link, Dawn! Thanks for sharing! Tim Burton is such a visual genius! I wonder who is playing the Cheshire Cat?

you're welcome! i agree....i can't wait!

So pleased you got to spend some time with Margot and I bet being with all those babies made you clucky

okay, so i'm assuming clucky means motherly, as in mother hen? that's a british term if i ever heard one!

That's a good thing, right?

that's exactly what my first thought was!

I saw that and the pictures!! I am so, so excited about it!! Johnny Depp is just awesome and he looks really cool!!

when i heard he was playing the mad hatter i got VERY happy! one of my favorite stories of all time and johnny depp is one of the best characters? too much!

Dawn so glad you got to see Margot. She is a doll and it looks like you guys all had a great time together so glad Jordan was nice to Brett on Father's Day weekend. It was really good to see you again and yes Brooklynn did remember you.

Hope all those babies rubbed a little pixie dust on you so that you can soon be typing with one hand while feeding with another!

well, he only got to see her for 2 hours on father's day but that was jordan's mom's fault. long story. but he spent the entire day saturday with her. oh my goodness.....i had no idea brooklynn was chasing us! i'm sorry!!!!!! and sorry i had to leave so fast. i was hoping to see you guys again but we ended up going into barnes & noble to sit down because they were all so tired and i wanted to spend some time with margot there. so cute that brooklynn can name us all. bella is gorgeous, by the way! such a sweet girl. oh, i hate typing with one hand, i think just because i type for a living so it really bugs me. guess i'll have to get used to it!

Glad you had fun at the hippo meet.

Margot is so big. Was it awkward having Jordan at the dinner table?

I'm glad you had a great Nashville trip. My cousin and I can't wait to go back. We have talked about it everyday since we have left.

no, not really awkward. i think because erica was there to distract me! and since madi was there jordan sort of had most of her attention on her. i hope you get to go back to nashville soon! it's a great city.

Your niece has grown a lot! She does have your bros eyes! He's a cutie pie by the way. Looks like you guys had a blast in TN! (And a big 'ol Dismeet too!) Glad to have ya back....I wish I had more time for Dis.

i wish i could find a baby picture of him and also one of my sister to post to compare. margot looks so much like both of them! i hear ya on having more time to dis! i'm behind on everyone's TRs lately. but it's good that i'm busy. otherwise we'd be starving!

It is so good to see pictures of you holding Margot. I know you have waited for a long time to do that. She looks like she has grown so much. This was a great update with lots of cute little ones. It made me smile.

yeah, it was so nice to see her and be able to spend some time with her. she's so sweet! glad i made you smile.

beautiful babies!!! Margot is getting so big..loved the painted toes hahah!!
OH sidenote: did i miss it..who is playing alice??

isn't she sweet? about alice, it's an unknown australian actress. her name escapes me right now.

Great pics! Adorable babies! So glad you were able to spend some time with your niece!

thanks! yes, they were. i was so glad to be able to see her for awhile too!
