Christmas Cruising 2005

[grimgrinnin]

I think Rose wanted to do last week of May into the first week of June

I would presume we do DL the first week we're out there...

That just might work!

Cool!!!

I told Britt you guys might make it to Cali...she was *very* happy to hear this. Esp when she realized she'd get to see the baby too

Nan's always looking for an excuse to do DL so I *know* the skjerven family will be there

Rose has time shares all over the place, I'll have to ask her if we'll do a hotel at DL or use one of her timeshares for that leg of our trip.

Some pics from last night's thunderstorm:

Wow Grim!

That second one is my favorite!

I've tried catching lightning but the delay in my P&S makes it impossible...

 

[auntsue1]

I enjoyed your photos of the thunderstorm! I think you were the guy with the neat hat in the photo that also showed our family from an excusion.

Yay! DL in May!!!

Hi all! I've been lurking lately. Trying to get my lesson plans finished for when I'm on maternity leave, and plan for the classes that I'm currently teaching, too!

Piper is getting bigger every day...at least it sure feels that way! We're almost there! I'm sure that Grim will post pictures as soon as he can. Doctor thinks we'll be on time, or not earlier at least. I can't wait! I love being pregnant, but not when I have to be back at work, so I'm ready for this little girl to come!

Very sleepy, but wanted you all to know that I was thinking about you.

Hope all is well with everyone!

I wanna go to DL, too!

Wouldn't that be a nice college graduation surprise gift for Chad?? I was fiddling around at the disneyland.com, and found a nice package for $2800 for the 3 of us, including air, park passes, onsite hotel, the LA Adventure tour, and the OC tour, for the end of May. Mel is next to me He thinks I'm !

You're only as as the rest of us

That would be awesome if you all were there too! A mini-reunion of sorts...I wonder who else will come

It's so much easier to deal with pregnancy as a lady of leisure, eh Dede?

Being tired was my biggest dilemma being pregnant (which isn't a bad one mind you.) I never seemed to have enough energy to get thru the day.

Your will be here soon enough...I can't wait to see her!

Hi all ....
lt me just say OMG!!

This place is amazing. We are going to tour the grand villa today for next year's trip!!

How can I ever go back to a regular room???

Great pictures, Grim. I LOVE storms.

Would love to join you all in CA, but with a November trip to WDW, not sure it is in the stars.

Dede, I was strict bed rest for the last 2 months with Kayla. Not fun!!

Will write more later.

 

[Aisling]

Karen, I've been looking at SSR photos, and I LOVE it! Are you staying there now or just visiting??


By the way, if anyone missed Grim wearing the pink hat, it's post # 1797!

A bad joke on my sis...the kids put tea leaves in her toilet bowl and told her they were millions of bugs!

 

[Aisling]

Mickey Bars are medicine.

Chad and Louise don't want to leave WDW.

Jungleboy Jesse.

Stop making me laugh when I'm trying to sleep!

Ever find yourself looking into the background of a picture?

Look! It's the band from rockin bar d and DJ Dave!





Towards the end of our cruise, DJ Dave was doing adult games at the pool & he *knew* the horn was gonna blow! I caught on as quick as he said..."Cover your ears!!!!" The horn went and O m g...the echo down on deck 9 with that horn blasting overhead is LOUD! ...but wonderful...

Everybody else who caught on got a good giggle out of it as we all took our hands back down off of our ears.

How many of my 2005 Christmas cruising friends are already planning on having our reunion, Christmas 7 day, 2009...I'm hoping my TKer friends might consider trying to hit that same cruise.

Who's in?


btw...clicking on the picture above will take you to my cruisie photo album if y'all find yourself with some viewing time.

Hi All!

You're so right, Tig! I wish that I could just lie around the house until Piper gets here, but its actually probably better for me this way. Maybe all the walking around campus will make my labor easier. Hey, I can hope, can't I?

Karen, I'm so thankful that I haven't been on bed rest. A girl I work with was hospitalized for 2 months, total bed rest, for two months before they delivered her baby. I have been very fortunate.

I go back to Doctor on Monday, so we'll see what she says. The most bothersome thing at the moment is the amount of time I spend in the bathroom! I'm sure you remember that, girls! Other than that, we're doing great. Piper is so active most of the time, that I'm hopeful that she's not going to be a huge baby. My theory is that since she has not slowed down at all and moves around a LOT, that she hasn't run out of room yet. I have gotten bigger, but not so big that all my maternity clothes don't fit, so I guess I haven't grown THAT much.

Aisling, your pictures are great. It looks like it was a fun trip, even if it was a little stressful for you.

Nan, I look forward to hearing the extended version. Sounds like quite an adventure

Take care, all. My parents will be coming into town on Monday, so I may not be on between that and getting ready for the baby. Grim, however, will still be on daily, I'm sure.

I'm planning on Piper coming over Labor Day weekend, so wish me luck! I'm going to start jumping on my bed every night starting a week from tonight!

Bye for now friends.

Dede
