Are you expecting???

no, not yet. i finally have maternity coverage as of last month (i'm self-employed and getting maternity coverage is EXPENSIVE and adding me to ray's coverage took a bigger chunk out of his paycheck than we could afford, but we finally bit the bullet and did it). basically we were waiting on me to get my wisdom teeth out, which i did last friday (fun!), before we start trying because i knew i'd be on pain meds. so once i get over taking all this medication, we're officially going to start trying. i really want to get pregnant pretty quickly just because i'd rather have a baby in may or june than in july or august next year! wish us luck.

So sorry you got such a bad email during your vacation but I am glad you had a good time with Diane on Buzz. Boy those clouds do not look very good!! I know the Plaza is small isn't it? We ate there last year for the first time but I thought it was very good. I would eat there again. Yeah Boma for breakfast!! Yumm

Great update Lesley. I hope Tim gets that computer fixed . Your Epcot day was great. Kaylee is dying to do Kim Possible after seeing your pics. So funny Kaylee had to buy a Parasol in France too and it had to be custom. They didn't take room cards back in October either. I like the pink Lauren got, Kay's is blue. Love your France pics, we ate there too. Remy is just adorable! I absolutely despise the line for TT too. Thank god for a pool break. Sorry about your email/ work related stress. Definintely not fun while in MK. So that you got to meet up with Diane and it looks like your kids all had so much fun together. As did you ladies riding Buzz . The ride picture is . Glad you were able to get work issues resolved.

the kim possible missions sound really cool!

i loved remy! i hope they continue to do this for awhile. it's such a great idea!

Look at his facial expression as he is looking at this Pokemon stuff in the case, cracks me up:

what's so funny about this is my 37-year-old husband has the same expression when he looks into this case.

really cool that you saw all those characters in america! i don't think i've ever seen anyone there.

sorry you had to do deal with real-world issues at disney. that happened to me during our april 2008 trip, but mine was family-related. i hope everything turned out okay quickly for you so you could enjoy the rest of the trip.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Wowza Lesley! You are moving right along on the trip report. I guess when you are there for 18 days it's good to keep moving...
I just hate it that you got that horrible email. When it comes to our personal finances it's hard to let something like that go. I know it would have just made me sick.

You had some awesome character greets at Epcot, we have never seen Susie and Perla or the Aristocat out! For that matter the penguins either. Tim looked adorable with Laurens umbrella and Luke had total amazement on his face looking at the Pokeman stuff.

Glad you met up with Diane and everyone hit it off. DIS meets are so much fun!

 

[dddisrunner]

OK, I totally screwed up the order we did things together! I forgot they Fastpassed Buzz! Oh Well! It's OK that you posted that you beat me, I did too! You probably didn't realize it but you guys cheered me up that night too! Luke's face with the Pokemon stuff is GREAT! I loved Lauren's face with Remy too! PRICELESS! I have to say though, that pic. of Tim and I pushing the strollers is NOT flattering!

 

[Trentmom]

Remy at Chefs looked so cool

Kim Possible adventure sounds like a blast

I can picture Tim Walking through the world showcase with parasol over his head and it is cracking me up

That is such a shame you had to deal with that work issue at Disney...glad tim was able to calm you down and comfort you


I love the plaza...you can not beat sandwhiches and ice cream


That is great you and Diane and your families met up that night.

Looks like kids had a blast together, as did you and Diane

The pic of Luke on Matthew's back is so cute

Reading both of your reports at same time is a lot of fun

 

[purplepeg]

Oh Lesley sorry about work, that really stinks doesn't it? Great that Tim is such a wonderful support Really glad you guys ran into Diane and family and you were able to cheer each other up! Those sandwiches looked really great at the Plaza. So cute with Remy, we couldn't fit France in this year, too badI didn't mention it to the girls because I know they would be sad to miss out on it. Can't wait to do Kim Possible missions! The kids and their Dad are really looking forward to it
Here's hoping the laptop returns to normal soon

 

[MaryAz]

SO sorry about the work drama on vacation-no fun. Great update. The Kim Possible mission is on our list for next time. Looks like a fun Dis Meet as well.

 

[MegansMom]

Sounds like a great day, even with the work yuckiness thrown in!!! I am hoping for you that has been resolved and the stress relieved from your shoulders!!!! Looking forward to tomorrow!

 

[jenbear123]

Oh my gosh! Love everything so far! Truly jealous of your 18 days in Disney!!! I'd be lucky to get 10 days off work!

Love the parasol you got Lauren. How much was it?

Can't wait for more!

 

[MouseFan Down Under]

Lesley, you are so amazing!

Do you have room for 1 more in your family?!?!? I'd really like to come on your next Disney vacation!!!

Loving the TR..and looking forward to some more.

You are helping me pass the 78 days until I am there myself!!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Wow Chef's De France looks good! Aw...Luke is so cute trying to keep Lauren surprised!

 

[natesmommy]

Catching up, 18 days, WOW you are my hero!!

 

[rentayenta]

I think most of us, at some point, have shed a tear at Disney. Glad you were able to relax the rest of the night.

My DH says screwed the pooch all the time.

I can't imagine how hot it was during your visit. We were there a month earlier and it was blazing.

Chefs looks good and Remy, adorable! Lauren looks quite pleased.

I love the DVC daily pool parties. At the OKW my DD won an idog for kicking booty in the hoola hoop contest. The CMs are awesome.

My girls tried the Kim Possible activity on a very hot day in Epcot. It turned into their meltdown so my memories of KP are not great.

 

[BippityBoo]

I am so sorry to hear about the work problem! My DH and I were just talking about that (he owns a real estate company)...he is working all the time when we are on vacation and it would just be so much easier to "turn it off" while you are on vacation! BUT so glad you had a great time that night. Also, I really loved your EPCOT update. My daughter Abby got an umbrella with her money as well (same thing happend to us, we had the $ she had on a giftcard...had to use cash!) You can check hers out on my TR. She still plays with it! Cant wait to read more from your great trip~

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Yikes! I was out of town and missed the start of your thread - I have alot of catching up to do - I'll be back - and Welcome Home!

 

[SunnieRN]

Sometimes sleeping in and adult time are just must-do pastimes on vacation! Love Nemo and Lion King shows. To me those, EE and the safai are the highlights of AK. The only thing I hat is how HOT it always seems there!

I felt so sorry for Lauren in the leaving AK bus photo, she was really glistening, as I'm sure you all were! Hooray for her bravery in riding in the front row!!

dddisrnner, you rock, spreading the love with fastpasses is just too cool!!

I can't wait for my grandsons to be old enough to spend a couple of hours at the kids club! Sometimes I feel they need a break from us as much as we do from them!

Tim continues to be good for lots of laughs, soarin, parasol carrying and always fun expressions! Loved your couple pic and cracked up at him mimicing Laurens pose.

So sorry you had real life invade your vacation, that sucks!! I'm happy you could finish the day with smiles and good food!

I must say though that even though I am enjoying all of your photos, the one depicting LLukes reaction to Laurens NOT singing is priceless, or as my generation would remember as a "kodak moment"!!

Really enjoying reading along. My daughter is getting her degree online. What do you teach?

 

[caz1712]

Oh Lesley, I'm sooo sorry that you had a hard time with work related things while on holiday - not good! But ever so glad you had some lovely people there to cheer you up!

We can't wait to try the new Kim Possible attraction when we go - my boys LOVE Kim Possible! From the reports I'm reading it does look great fun!

Lauren's face seeing Remy at Chef's de France was priceless! And what a wonderful big brother Luke is trying to keep the surprise for her! Your kids are a credit to you - not sure my lot would do that for each other - well without coaxing from us anyhow!

Another fabulous day hunni!

Can't wait to read the next installment
