Hey I finally made it!!! So far, I think I am on page 7 so I still have a while to go before I am completely caught up but I have to interject some things here:
1) Very sorry for everything that has been going on! I recently lost a cousin (mom's cousin, actually) who has two sons - 16 and 14. Their mom passed away a number of years ago so now the two boys are essentially orphaned at probably one of the most delicate stages in life. They have been living with other family members but I can't imagine what life must be like. Your family is in my prayers
2) All of the pics of your family together made me smile! My family is by no means what you would call "big." We all fit in one living room and in one picture. And it seems like the one and only time we get everyone together is on Christmas Eve... For everything else during the year, it seems like everyone always has something better to do and they only show up on Christmas for the food and alcohol (that and we have had some serious beer pong and table hockey tournaments!) I just always wish that my family could be morely closely knit, like yours.
3) Erin, Dylan, and Baby Jordan are all beautiful! Dylan has, what is probably, the greatest hair I've ever seen on a kid who still rides in a stroller!
4) I am a victim of FDM as well. I try to justify the fact that we are going to WDW again in March, with the whole "but we're booking early and saving on airfare, plus we're on the
DDP!" excuse. DBF buys it, so he must suffer from FDM as well. It is strange, now that I think about it, how I can go from crying poverty to being able to afford 5 WDW trips in 4 years. It must be Disney Magic at work!
5) When I went on my last two trips I wrote TR's for them (as you know from visiting my current one

) The first time I had one of those little white notepads and it was terrible. I was planning to only write notes but I found myself writing the whole report and there just wasn't enough room on those small pages! So this time, I got myself a spiral notebook and wrote whatever I felt like. If I wanted to write our a whole section in detail, then I did. But in some places, I just stuck in notes to remind me to write about something that I knew I would remember the details of (such as the Cirque du Soleil Episode

)
6) I must know how the Mediterranean DC was!!! I want to go on this SO bad and DBF keeps telling me that it "won't be fun." I need supporting documentation to prove to him that it will be incredible amazing and worth $6000! (plus airfare, meals, & souvenirs)
