Family, Friends, & Celebrities- A MAGICAL Birthday TR!!! *UPDATE*8/27! Final thoughts

[tinkgurl]

Aw...I miss the F&G Festival!

Oh man, sounds like you weren't having good luck with the whole slushie thing! Just give us women time to cool off and calm down and we come back to our "normal" selves.

Yum! I love sushi! Too bad it wasn't that great for you.

I really like that pic of Ana playing hopscotch.

 

[eandesmom]

Ok, I ageree with Liesa, 2+ hours isn't awful.

There are some adorable pictures of Ana in there! Love the hopscotch one and her between the 2 topiaries.

Between you and Liesa though, I'm not eating CS in Japan. Good to know!

$9 drink? I figured they were pricey but had no idea. I'm going to try one but it will be interesting to see if it is really worth $9 in my mind!

If you call 2+ hours getting over it quickly!

I should watch what I type.. she MIGHT read this someday!

I think you are good if she reads it. You started out with, "she was right, I was wrong."

Brownie points dude, brownie points.

 

[PopArtGal]

When I did the Japan CS, I actually think my chicken terriyaki was ok. Not the best. But the restaurant was empty and I was alone. So I had a great view. So maybe that won over the food

 

[Believeinfairytales]

Yay! You're back!

You got some really great pictures at Epcot. I enjoyed looking at all of the topiaries and beautiful scenery. Sorry to hear about you and Mel not getting along so well there for awhile. It's hard to be happy all the time, even at Disney World. Sometimes Disney can be downright stressful! Glad she forgave you and all turned out well.

Can't wait to hear how the rest of the day went!

 

[MaryAz]

Congrats on the niece.
Good update except for the "unmagical" parts
What is this PTR you speak of, a trip like no other, hmmmm

 

[JPFamilyMom]

for the update. Thanks

Great update, LOVE the pictures.

note to self, do not eat in Japan.

Sorry you all had some unmagical moments in the world, but any married couple knows they happen. It's part of marriage, makes the good parts that much better. Sounds like it wasn't too bad and that you all still had an enjoyable day.

Can't wait to read and see more of Epcot.

Hope things are settling down in your "regular" life. Congrats on the niece.

 

[jenseib]

Great pictures....but really dumb move on taking a bite. NEVER do that without being offered. And then the slush on to pof that....MAN, you were asking for it.

 

[praisehisname]

So did Mel like her slushie? They are soooo good! That CS you got from Japan doesn't even look good; don't think I'll be going there. Was the lack of beer your choice or someone else's? I hope you get to see Illuminations!

 

[that's nice]

You were thinking about re-reading your MAN-ual- that section on horking snacks.

Not how it works. Section 1057.308

I seemed to have skipped over that section... Woops!

Thank you for the update, Tim. I know have a lot going on right now, but it really brightened my morning to see more about your trip.

I need to get over to yours (and many others!) and catch up as well. Who would of thought it would be so hard to get back into the swing of things after being off the DIS for a month and a half. LOL

That's a beautiful photo of Epcot! The sky, Spaceship Earth, the lovely landscaping, and floating flowers. So pretty, I just love it.

Thanks. It looks so peaceful.

And Aladdin! He's a favorite of mine, for very specific reasons. Long story. Glad that you all got some character time, and things started to look up.

We've never got to take a picture with Genie. Wonder where he's been hiding.

You're back!

I thought I saw a decimal point on the price of that castle...my thought? "It's on sale!"

I'm sure that isn't a decimal point. Some of those characters besides the castle were $150-$300 I guess if that castle was 'only' $375 it would be a 'steal'!!!!!!! LOL

nice pics tim. i cant believe you didnt buy that castle!!! it would look good on the dining room table!!

It would look nice. You can buy it for me for my birthday!

 

[that's nice]

Good to see you back with another update!

Beautiful pics of the topiaries, especially the cinderella one!

I need to get this TR done!!! It has been drawn out long enough!!!!

Thanks! The topiaries were really amazing!

Oh man, sounds like you weren't having good luck with the whole slushie thing! Just give us women time to cool off and calm down and we come back to our "normal" selves.

That darn slushie! I forgot to mention that when I kicked it over I ended up with a wet foot too.

Yum! I love sushi! Too bad it wasn't that great for you.

I love sushi too... but this was not good.

I really like that pic of Ana playing hopscotch.

Awwww thanks!

Ok, I ageree with Liesa, 2+ hours isn't awful.

LOL you ladies sure take your time don't cha?

There are some adorable pictures of Ana in there! Love the hopscotch one and her between the 2 topiaries.

Thanks!

Between you and Liesa though, I'm not eating CS in Japan. Good to know!

What's better than learning from your mistakes? Learning from others mistakes!

$9 drink? I figured they were pricey but had no idea. I'm going to try one but it will be interesting to see if it is really worth $9 in my mind!

I will admit they are good.... but I'd rather have a beer.

I think you are good if she reads it. You started out with, "she was right, I was wrong."

Brownie points dude, brownie points.

I'm not a rookie! I know how to keep myself out of trouble.... (most of the time LOLOL)

When I did the Japan CS, I actually think my chicken terriyaki was ok. Not the best. But the restaurant was empty and I was alone. So I had a great view. So maybe that won over the food

I'm glad you had a decent meal there. I, for one, will never step foot in that restaurant ever again!

Can't wait to hear how the rest of the day went!

I had to mention our little fight... for the story's sake!

It could of been because it rained for the last two days, but the sky looked so perfect this day. The sky was so blue!

1 more update to finish out our Epcot day. Maybe even tonight!

Congrats on the niece.

Thank you!

The PTR is going to be for Juliana's Wish trip which includes SeaWorld and Universal, staying offsite, and a host of other 'different' things that I haven't experienced before.

for the update. Thanks

Just trying to get this thing done!!!

Great update, LOVE the pictures.

Thank you!

note to self, do not eat in Japan.

LOLOL

This is very true. Every day isn't sunny and 80!

Hope things are settling down in your "regular" life. Congrats on the niece.

Things are slowly getting back to normal.

Thanks... I'm going o post a few pics of the baby shortly!

Great pictures....but really dumb move on taking a bite. NEVER do that without being offered. And then the slush on top of that....MAN, you were asking for it.

I think if she had a bat she would have beat me with it! LOL

I wasn't using my brain... maybe the few beers I had went to my head!

So did Mel like her slushie? They are soooo good! That CS you got from Japan doesn't even look good; don't think I'll be going there. Was the lack of beer your choice or someone else's? I hope you get to see Illuminations!

She was so mad, I'm not sure she even enjoyed the slushie.

By the time I got to Germany, I didn't feel like having a beer. Which, by the way, is the first and last time that will ever happen!

 

[that's nice]

Yes! A Tim update. I'm so happy now.

Keep smiling!

First, haven't you learned yet? When a woman asks you to get her something you get it and present it to her the way you got it. IF she wants you to try it, she will offer you a bite. And I cannot believe you knocked over her drink.

I was on a roll! (and not a good one either!)

The "not" getting a beer in Germany was probably your punishment for your earlier sins.

LOLOL You might be right!

As much as we loved our time with Shelley and Tom on our 25th anniversary, we split up a couple of times to. It's really important to have your "alone time."

It is nice to have alone time... even if only for a little while.

And, yes, I can wait for the baby pictures if it won't be a WEEK before we see them.

I was going to respond to you earlier but I wanted to upload some pics for you.

Her name is Nicolina. She was 6lbs 11oz (uploaded from my phone)

Welcome, Nicolina. I see another "Princess" in the making. I love the first picture of you holding Nicolina, Tim. She's kind of looking at you like "who is this guy?"

She is a darling. Congrats again.

My sister detests pink.. so when we went to visit, Juliana bought her a Cinderella doll dressed in blue. My sister was happy about that.

 

[SRUAlmn]

Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[All7OfUs]

What a sweet picture of Nicolina looking at you! I'm pretty sure she's saying to herself, "I wonder when Uncle Tim will take me to my castle!"

 

[praisehisname]

Such a beautiful baby! She's got a full head of hair!

 

[TarzansKat]

Aw, Tim! The baby is so cute!!! And teeny. Reminds me of when one of my nieces was born, I was so afraid of "breaking" her because she was a little over 6 lbs.

I've seen Aladdin alone, with Jasmine, or with the Genie. I think it all depends on the day.

 

[jenseib]

Look at all that hair! What a cutie

 

[that's nice]

Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

I bet she is! LOL

You know she will be coming with us someday!

Thanks!

Juliana was the total opposite.. she had hardly any hair. I have to find a few pics of her... they are on my other computer.

It is hard to remember Juliana being that small. Juliana was 7lbs 3oz... not much bigger than Nicolina.

We went to Providence today and Juliana and Melody watched Aladdin on the way home. Unfortunately, I had to keep my eyes on the road and not watch the movie with them. LOL

Look at all that hair! What a cutie

Thank you. She does have a full head of hair. I have to find Juliana's pics to compare them.


EDIT::: A few pics of baby Juliana.

Just after being born. She had more hair than I thought. LOL

A few days after coming home.... where did her hair go?

4 or 5 months old... our baldy! lolol
