We just have to do what we can to try to keep the magic going.
I have 4 Parks, 1 World, Magic in the Streets, SpectroMagic, Illuminations, Candlelight Processional, and more to transport me away from real life while I am driving. I haven't imagined myself going to a park yet, but I may give it a try!
I forgot your sister left this area. Just let your mom decide whatever is best for her. If you are in a hurry for it, I can mail it, but if not, you can just get it whenever. I'm in no hurry for four bucks.
It doesn't seem to make sense why people who would make good parents often have a hard time conceiving and people who are crummy parents sometimes have more than they need or want. We just have to trust that God knows best - He knows our wants and our needs, and in the long run, it will all work out, even though we may totally not 'get it' sometimes.
A few pictures coming up shortly.
Adoption is an awesome way to grow a family for those who are willing to pursue that avenue. I knew two couples who never had children because the husbands were not willing to do that. They said it would be their own 'real' baby or nothing at all. I personally think they missed out on an incredible experience.
Let me know whenever you are down this way and you can get it. Or if you plan to see Dawn, we can give yours to her mom, too. You guys can think about it.
We enjoyed sending the pictures. It was fun sharing our good time with you guys.
Ariel and Flounder were both exhausted at the end of the night. We all had a good time.
I shared the birthday wishes with Drew.
An addiction, for sure, and an expensive one, too!
I just feel very guilty that my selfishness in wanting a third child kept Drew from going to a home that would have had so much more material things to offer him. Jill and Trent didn't have a choice, but Drew could have gotten a better situation, so I do feel guilty. Then again, I trust that God meant for me to be his mother, for some crazy reason, so I do my best.
I shared your greeting with him.
I had been telling her that she had to wait until the end of the post and I would let her do her thing. When I was ready and had typed that she was going to add her mark, I looked down and she was fast asleep on my arm where she had been watching me type. I tried to wake her up, but she was a goner!
We have seen Pinocchio many times right around the Tony's area. You can ask at guest relations, and they can give you the times. I hope you find him.
I remember watching the planes come in and then all of the excitement of him being carried off. One of the stewardesses said we almost lost him to her. She wanted to take him home!
The weather was great. It was cool in the mornings and warm in the day time. It was warm enough to swim at midday. There was no rain. It couldn't have been more ideal. We were lucky.
Disney on Ice was fun. Have you been to any of those shows? It's a nice little Disney fix.
Disney has take over my mind. I can admit it.
Sorry you have had DIS trouble. That would be frustrating.
I'm going to put some pictures up in just a minute. We'd love to see a picture of your yard decorations when you are finished.

Jill and John have gone to the mall, Bella is sleeping, Brooklynn is watching Nemo, and I am loading pictures.
We ate at Texas Roadhouse yesterday for Drew's birthday. Last night, we went to church and did Trunk-or-Treat, which is easy and cute and fun for the kids.
Bella is a month older and half the size of Owen. She thought his hair was interesting.
Apparently Ariel Girl couldn't feed herself, or Jill thought she would plop pizza on her fins. Not sure which.
Carson's fin ended up on the table.
Our cookie decorating table.
We had sugar cookies, three colors of frosting, m&m's, SweetTarts, Mike & Ikes, candy corn, sprinkles, and marshmallows. The kids enjoyed piling their cookies high with goodies.
Some of the other trunks.
There was a hayride around the premises.
It got pretty chilly, so the warm car felt good at the end of the evening.
it can be used for a boy or a girl. and it's just very small....i couldn't resist!
Kinda like when your kids are just starting to eat baby food and they make those funny faces when they taste something sour or nasty? And you give it to them again just so you can see their reaction one more time???
I LOVE it!
I was only gone a bit more than you and I am more than 12 pages behind. 
My favorite place!
