Elizabeth, you crack me up. Thanks!!!!

Terry and my trip in December is coming along. I think we have plans down to the hour; we had to schedule in potty breaks.

Your schedule looks packed full! Hope you both have a wonderful time.

My girls have been sleeping for 10 hours...... And I thought 7 was nice! (And I used to think 5 was nice! )

Theresa I look forward to reading your report & seeing some pictures!

Kristine & Bill have a safe trip home!

Chanon only 3 more sleeps

Christmas will always be twice as special for you & Kyle now

Yes! Although I must admit, I was a little bored shopping for the girls this year. They'll be six months old. Anything they're handed will be like any other day that they see a new toy, even if it isn't "new"

I bought some stuff we want for them, and some things that were a great price, etc.... not as exciting as it will be next year from a gift giving standpoint, but it sure will be special! :

Good morning

Glynis and I next to the only man made thing in the world that makes us both feel small:

A better picture of the two of us

You guys both look great! (And is this the first belly shot of Glynis that we've seen?! )

Isn't it wonderful!

No the opening of gifts will not be as exciting, but just having those two precious babies to wake up to will make it that more special

Hi Jennifer & Tammi!

 

[tink2020]

Hasn't she??? She's really turning into a young lady. It's crazy!

Mary was so proud of the 2 fish that she caught. Theresa kept trying to get a picture of her, but she was twirling the fish around so much I thought they'd fly off the branch! Theresa and I were squealing, trying to get her to stop twirling the fish as visions of fish in our face ran through our heads!

By the end of the visit, my kids were so in love with Aunt Theresa! Mary cried when we got home from dropping her off at the airport. She got really close to Theresa in just a couple of days.

This is so sweet! She'll just have to visit again!

Especially when you stick bows on their heads and put them under the Christmas tree. Yes, I'm a cruel, cruel Mommy.

Good morning.

Jennifer and Janet!

I just played with some car rental codes. I ended up booking through National using an E coupon and AAA discount. We will need to drop the car off at Miami International then take a taxi to the port. I will drop everyone else off at the Port before I return the car. I heard it is only a 5 minute ride. I was able to save $30 over Hertz which offers a shuttle.

Somewhere recently (DisneyFiles?) I read that you can stack a 10% DVC code on any other codes w/National ... don't forget that one!

Oh Steffy, it sounds like so much fun! We'll have to make it to Mousefest one year! (And it should more than make up for your laid back trip this time! )

That is wonderful! How many times did you wake up to check on them

Well, let me explain! (Like I need to.... )

Last night was the first night in their cribs. We had intended to move them at 8-12 weeks, or when they slept consistently with just one nighttime feed (so we didn't have to get up and walk across the house often). A month or so ago (longer?) they started doing one 4-6 hour chunk and one 6-7 hour chunk, with just one night feed, and the age was right, etc. But Kyle started his first overnight call months, leaving me alone every few days overnight. I wasn't about to mix things up then, for my own sake!

So last night, since he starts several months w/o overnight call, we figured it was long overdue

So I cried, worried sick about them. I didn't stare at them or check on them frequently when we first brought them home even!

Still, once I fell asleep I just got up at midnight, and 4 am, then woke up for the day at 5. So not too bad! Even Kyle checked on them at 2am, after making fun of me for worrying!

Elise did make it rather difficult not to worry. I'll have a picture later, but she's her mama's girl. I used to always wake up practically hanging upside down off the bed at the opposite end from where I started, and she has done the same, ending up on her belly with her face shoved in the corner against a bumper .

I edited my post, to include just this sentiment!
