We are on our way I need this trip more than any before

That is horrible news, 5 years and now showing regrowthTo be honest that is our worst nightmare. Prayers heading her way that the chemo and shrink it and maybe then it can be removed? I do know how your family feels and I totally emphathize.

I have a busy weekend. I went to my Aunt's Jewelry party tonight. I have to work tomorrow. Sunday I am leaving bright and early to head to NYC for the D23 event at the new Disney store. Initially I was not able to get a ticket, but a friend who was going got two tickets. The person who is a mutual friend is unable to go. She knew I tried to get a ticket, so now I am going.

We were at the zoo and this chicken was highly intrigued by our diaper changing activities.

Terra's pumpkins are the left and right ones. Left she made for Deva and it's a baby with a (real) pacifier. The right is supposed to be Baby Mouse from the Baby Mouse books.

My little mouse and the daughter of Drybones (the turtle skeleton from the Super Mario Brothers castles, but she wanted to be a "girl" so added the bow and decided that she was his daughter)

Our zoo's male orangutan died about a month ago and Terra found it very sad. Here she's commiserating with Mera, the adult female (we also have a 6yo female) who was definitely still mourning the loss to see her face. I just wish I could have gotten a better shot of Terra's face as well.
We finally got our car back this evening as well!!! Just 16 days after having it towed there. They had said it was the fuel pump and would be $802. I never knew if that included the $90 for diagnosis and then also knew there was another $40 because the part that holds the fuel pump in place was almost certainly going to break when they took it off. Well, the pump was in as of last Friday, but the car still wouldn't start. They spend a solid 3 days this week trying to diagnose why, repaired a short in a wire (that probably let to the pump burning out in the first place), found and fixed a leak in the gas line and maybe something else. I pick it up with a total bill of $847. They said that they had quoted me one price and that's what they were charging me regardless of the extra work needed. The guy even topped off all of my fluids for me and was going to replace the headlight until he saw that it was a wire issue (the part is waiting for me to go pick up already anyway). I'm not quite sure how I've gotten so lucky with mechanics lately (this was a difference place since the car broke down 20 miles from home), but man am I happy that I was!
In other good news, I got a letter yesterday from the hospital where I had my scans that diagnosed the diverticulitis saying that they had reviewed my account and due to our financial standing were putting a 100% discount on my account. I called to see if that was just me or if Phil was linked to me. The lady said that he hadn't been, but that she was linking it right then and the discount would carry over to him. He has had various tests and doctor visits done at that hospital over the last 2-3 years and I've been slowly paying off several thousand dollars of bills between the two of us. Now they are just gone! What a blessing and answer to prayer!!!
Tia - I loved the pictures! Everytime I thought I had a favorite, I went on to the next, and it kept changing.
Deb - from one full time working mom to the other, get used to it.....you won't have any downtime for about the next 10 years!
Tia - LOVE the pictures, especially the sister ones
We had great travel weather this trip, arrived at Beach Club, checked in, had lunch at Beaches and Cream, took the boat to the Studios, got stuck on TOT and now we're back at the resort, all moved in and Richie is yelling at the TV, Bama is playing LSU. After the break we'll be going to Joes Crab Shack or dinner, picking up a few grocery items at Winn Dixie and probably call it an early night, we have an early ADR at CP in the morning.
We are in BCV studio # 455, we have an Epcot view, too bad the trees block most of it, but our balcony is HUGE, we could have a party out there.
