DDA Chapter 6

[tmfranlk]

Yep!
10/12 at Garden Grill for 11:45am (optional)
10/12 at Yachtsman Steakhouse for 7:45pm
10/13 at Crystal Palace at 8:20am (optional)
10/13 at Artist Point at 5:30pm

And I booked the 9am Segway Tour for the 12th as well. Currently optional.

ETA: It feels odd only typing two days for Disney Dining!

Sounds great! I've got Garden Grill on my list and keep almost putting something else in there. I just can't seem to give up my catfish though.

Good luck on your closet, Janet! Seems to be the time for that for a lot of us. My closets pretty bare already, but I do need to get down to the basement today. The other plan is to try and give the lawn mower a tune up. From the article I have, it doesn't look like it should be too hard. Guess we'll see.

Robyn - One year I was sent to buy matzah and the shelves were BARE. It's not something you wait until the very last minute to buy. The kids didn't follow the "food rules" during Passover so it wasn't a big deal for them.
I was never a big fan of Yom Kippur because my bosses would stay home and sleep all day while I wrangled the kids, go to synagogue at about 6 PM (which they were always running late for), and then they went to someone else's house for the big meal afterwards.

We got this bag in at work yesterday. I'm thinking it might become my carry on. But ours is only 9.99! I do wish they had different colors though!

I need to get off of here, the boys are done coloring and I should feed Lucy so she can go down for her nap!

Have a great day!

We've never eaten at Garden Grill, and are looking forward to that one but then there is also the F&WF...so maybe we'll eat lunch and skip dessert and eat dessert around the World.
But Crystal Palace we do every trip. It's the only place we seem to find Tigger for Bob - but I might be searching for Tigger in the Character Tent so we can sleep in a little!

Yeah having Matzah for Passover is quite important! But it doesn't surprise me in the least they waited so long

That is COOL! But I don't need another bag!

Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to be back here yet...

Anyway, we've seen Tigger in Epcot at the UK children's store. There is a "Pooh and friends" room in back. There usually isn't as much waiting as the character tent at MK, though sometimes there are only two characters out, so you may have to ask when Tigger is going to be there.

Thanks Beth! And those are the two parks we plan on hitting too!

Good Morning DDA-

In honor of my post count I thought I would thank all of the wonderful ladies (and gentlemen) of this family. I came along on the original thread and have found some awesome friends and chosen family along the way.

I came to you all three months ago stating real life stunk and you rallied around me then through PM's and support on the thread. Last week, I had another batch of PM's in dealing with Cassidy.

While real life still stinks, in some ways more so than before, I am taking the advice I read yesterday and saying "I Choose Joy!"

Thank you my family for all of your love-

Aidan Update:

Less then 48 hours and we will be in surgery for Aidan's Cochlear Implant. We chose to go with the Cochlear Freedom. In my new position it has been really great to deal with Audiologist and Speech Therapist every day and bounce questions off of them. It's amazing how the Lord places us in places we need to be at the time we should be there.

So Thursday morning we will get the implant and then a few weeks later they will turn it on. During the surgery they are also going to remove some scar tissue in the base of his Trachea. This should help him breathe better and maybe we can pull that Trach towards the end of summer.

This surgery will be performed at Medical City, and I will spend the night with Aidan at the Hospital. Naomi though will only be a few minutes away so it's not like our Journey's to Fort Worth.

We also have coming up the NICU reunion, which we look forward to attending. We have two NICU survivors and it will be fun to see some of the nurses and staff again.

Will update after the surgery.

Beth - Happy Birthday to Matthew!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Kristine & Bill!

Since Elin said it so well, I'll just have to ditto, Theresa. You'll make it through and until then, there's us! Congrats on the milestone.

Cute bag, Chanon! I love expandable bags like that. I forgot about F&WF. Hmm...that's a tough one. Since they don't have my favorite GG dessert anymore, I'd go with lunch, skip dessert and do desserts around the festival. The catfish is my number one reason to go, but I love the vegatables too. Yummy things straight from the gardens.

 

[tmfranlk]

Well, it's warming up faster than they said so I guess we're off to the park. Still a little chilly, but I need the exercise and Terra still wants to go so why not.

 

[tmfranlk]

I think someone was talking about booking it so just in case...I saw this posted elsewhere today...

The Wave has opened ADRs as of June 30th so any date after that can now be
reserved.

Great, huh?

Happy Anniversary in case I don't get back on tomorrow! That is a nice tradition. Our tradition is that we don't typically do anything for our anniversary.

What concert is Jackie going to? I agree that I'd much rather design for Mickey!

Woman, you crack me up!!!

I think I might actually be Jewish.

Post 15,000 for me

Congrats!

Please remember, my house is the same age as me....

This is the yucky color it was before...

Basically, anything would be an improvement...

This is without the hardware and stuff. I still have to put the baseboard up, but it is so bright and organized, I like it a lot.

Wow -- what a difference. I know it must bring a smile to your face everytime you see it now.

​

Congrats!

Good Morning!

Robyn, thanks for sharing picures of Molly's party. The cake looked great! The cupcakes were really cute too!

Steffy, your kitchen looks great! A coat of paint sometimes does wonders!

Bernadette, your becoming a sewing junkie like me! Everything looks great! I have a Lightning McQueen outfit to make for Leighanna yet too! I really like how yours turned out!

I have been so busy with work, and other things that I rarely get enough time to post anymore!

Off to get Leighanna ready for school.
Leighanna is having issues with some older kids on her bus, so I have opted to drive her to school, and pick her up. She is starting to get anxiety attacks, and she is making herself sick just thinking about riding the bus.
She used to love the bus, but all it takes is a few rude kids, who like to pick on little ones to ruin the whole experience!

Have a great day all!

I'm so sorry Leighanna was having problems at lunch and on the bus. It's great that you can take her and help with her anxiety. I hope the rest of the year is much better for her.

Three weeks from today I will be getting ready to leave for the airport to head to Disney!

Yahoo!

My girls and April do not mix when it comes to haircuts!

Molly decided this morning that she needed a haircut, so she gave herself one.

It's certainly not even but it's the best I can do! It took us so long to grow those bangs out.

I'm so sorry. She is such a doll that her hair will still look cute.

I received my Mickey's Mom club kit today! Along with some brochures it also came with 2 trading pins(Tinkerbell YOAMD's), mousepad, magnet for car, stickers, & the DVD planning video. I already have the video & the pins, but what a special treat to get in the mail today

Guess I can spread the magic at Disney & give the pins away

ETA: forgot to add the nice photo included of Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, & Goofy!

I did too -- it is nice.

I've read, but am running out of time to post.

Today after work I am leaving to go to Pittsburgh. I have to probate my uncle's will, so I need to physically be there to do that. I'm flying up today and back on Wed. No way was I going to drive. Now I'm realizing that I have 2 parties in less than 2 weeks, and one weekend to get everything done. Unfortunately that weekend is booked with activities. Yesterday I wasn't feeling so well so I spent the entire day lying around.

If I'm not around much, know that I am thinking of you all and sending good thoughts your way!

Safe travels!

That's exciting!!



I had a charge cut his bangs down to the scalp, smack in the middle so there was no way to hide it or even it out.
Robyn - It will grow back eventually. It doesn't look that bad.



PINS? It has PINS? Now watch, this will be one of those things that mysteriously never shows up in my mail.



I hope it all goes smoothly, Tammi!

Marci - Speaking of mail, did you decide to mail the tickets to my work address? Just wanted to know where to watch for them! Thanks again!!

I have not mailed them. Would you happen to be available this Saturday at 2? I'll PM you.

Hello, DDA! First day of spring break found me at the walk-in with a UTI. Fortunately, he prescribed the painkiller along with the antibiotic, so it hasn't slowed me down too much.

We don't have any great plans for the week. There is no school, but the other activities don't stop.

Today we had lunch at Friendly's (that place is getting pricey for the quality of the food). We also went to Target and the orthodontist. Fun day, huh?

It looks like Laura is going to need a frenectomy. We can't get into the oral surgeon's office for a consult for a month.

I have been missing you all, though I try to pop in at least to read a couple of times a week.

I hope you feel better soon. PD for Laura and the frenectomy.

Un Frickin Believable...

Apparently the someone "stole" Hunter's games from the bowling alley before our friend got there to pick them up. Now the lady at the bowling alley had the case with the games in her hand when I called. Apparently they are now gone. I just got the email so I called the bowling alley and of course the person there now has no idea what I'm referring to. I plan to call first thing in the morning. I would think that they would be liable to some extent since they had the case. I wonder if I can file a police report, or maybe they should. Maybe their insurance would cover the games We just made a list and we think he had 9 games in the case. 9 games at an average of $30 per game is $270 I'm feeling sick over this

What would you guys do?

That is just not right. I'm so sorry all of this has happened. What happened with the phone call?

(Un)Happy Tax Day!

It's also my first baby's 17th birthday. How did I get that old?

I need to run him over to track practice, and my computer will probably be "stolen" before I get back.

I hope to get on for a little while later today.

Have a great day, DDA!

Happy Birthday!
