So sorry about your Aunt Becky.

I love the trip journals! What a great idea - I haven't seen those before! That's going to be so great for them to have in the future to be able to look back on and remember their trip by And it sounds like Koby is having a great time in DC! What a lucky guy getting to go on two great vacations so close together!

So sorry to hear about your loss. I will certainly be thinking about and praying for you and your family.

Saw you over on Becky's trip report. It looks like our little princesses are very close in age - Bellarie is 14 months today. We are headed to the World in 3 and a half weeks for Bellarie's 5th trip. Going back to read all about it now

Aww, what a sweet letter from the fairy godmother! I love it!

Aww, what a sweet letter from the fairy godmother! I love it!

I know! That is my favorite! I will keep that & put it all in a Disney scrapbook for them! I never would have thought to even do that, much less what to put on the letter! She did a great job!

Hi! I've seen you post in some other PTRs, and phew, after an hour, I'm all up-to-date!

Your Shelby is gorgeous. I adore your story about your little girl and your momma. My mom has had breast cancer twice and skin cancer once, and my biggest fear in life is that she won't be here to meet her grandkids. It's literally something on my mind every single day, so I can't imagine what you went through. Your momma is going to be sending some extra magic to your family on your trip! I just know it!

Steel Magnolias is one of our fav movies, too. I remember curling up with my mom when I was little to watch it with her, and we still watch it together pretty often!

I am in love with those bows. Do you think I'd be OK with them? I'm 25. Haha. Too jealous!

We're doing mostly QS this trip, too! At Epcot, we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sunshine Seasons if you want to try something different than a burger. They have some great choices and everything is so very fresh!

I love your countdown chain and the boy's journals. What a great idea!

Congrats on your boys and their grades; that's fantastic! I hope Koby is doing better about the suicide talk. I'm sending some pixie dust his way!

An hour?! Wow! I didn't realize my PTR got so long!

Thank you so much. It is hard at times, but it's been 4 years, so it is easier, not by much, but easier. I think about her alot & how much Shelby would have been her entire world. I know she will be enjoying our Disney trip just as much as we will.

I keep telling Ben that I will wind up wearing some of Shelby's bows!

Thanks for the suggestion! I might just have to check that out!

Thanks! The boys love the chain & the journals. Brady is all ready to write in his & we didn't even leave yet!

Koby has gotten much better on the suicide talk. He has not mentioned it since, Thank God! I was/am a very proud mama of my boys & my princess!

I hope you're the right person I just added on FB. If not, woops! Haha.

I had seen you post on Joni's status about that DVD, I think. Again, hopefully the right person!

Yep, that is me! I am on Koby's facebook right now uploading all his Washington DC pics & videos. As soon as I am done I will approve it! Thanks!

I am asking everyone to pray for Koby & Shelby. Koby has been running a fever all day of no lower than 102, so he has to go to the dr tomorrow. Shelby...is just really tiny. She has to go to the dr tomorrow also for a weight check. She is 9 months old (10 months tomorrow on the 12th) and is 14 lbs & 26 inches. Third percentile for weight & 5th for height. She eats like crazy & her blood work came out fine. At her 6 month check up she was 14 lbs. In 3 months time she gained 3 oz. If she has not gained at least 2 lbs, then more blood work & PediaSure to help her gain. Thank you all so much!

I am still trying to catch up but I just got to this post and had to comment. Those April 2009 princesses just have some awesome metabolisms. We are in the same boat with Bella at 14 months today she is just 17 pounds and is still very easily wearing her 3-6 month clothing. She was not even on the chart at her 1 year check up. I have been fighting with my pediatrician about her weight since her 3 month check up. He is concerned and I say there is nothing wrong. She eats well (more than her almost 4 year old sister sometimes) and is hitting every milestone early or on time. She is just built small. Anyway just wanted to insert that, going back to finish reading now.

Bella describes Shelby to a T!!! Shelby was crawling at 5 months, pulling up & sitting up at 4 months, walking at 7 months. She is just tiny! Like you said must be something with the April 2009 Princesses! Shelby can actually fit in some 0-3 months too!

WOW!! What a great letter and more postcards!! What a magical week for your kiddos!!
