[TCKK]

Just thought you needed to know. Only 12 weeks from tomorrow and you'll be there and we'll be leaving Ohio to come there.

Hope everything is going well with your provincial festival

Loving the 90 days pictures... can you do some more at 80? 70? 60?

I'm sure something can be done.

We haven't put any tickers in our signatures. We don't want Declan asking why there is a ticker when (as far as he knows) there is no trip planned.

We don't take a computer with us, so I don't think we will have any live updates.

I was thinking about my ticker, and i can see why you wouldn't have one......I personaly cant wait to read your TR this is just the PTR and I am hooked.

Greetings faithful readers!

DramaFest is now complete and I am very proud of our students and their performance. They won a combined 9 awards this year.

So, to continue my trip along memory lane, and because I missed the 80 day mark (sorry Sooze )I have been corrected (thank goodness for TCKK) today is 82 days.


Disney Memories with Mickey

2004

2005

But by 2007, we've moved on to the fairer mouse

Congratulations on the awards!

Very cute pictures.

In a few more years, both Mouses will be over at the side while he has his eyes on the cute little CM that's helping them walk around!

I still think you are evil, evil parents to be hiding this from that precious boy. Or you're just scared, scared parents!
The wrath of Declan is yet to come. Are you prepared???

 

[TCKK]

Congratulations on the Drama Awards! I love these pics. It's so fun to watch how the kids grow up over the years of Disney trips.

80 days out and time for some more memories.

We started a tradition of taking the same shot outside of Dinosaur. The first one is in 2004 just before Declan's 3rd birthday. It scared the poop out of him and he cried and cried. As we were walking through the gift shop he asked if we could ride again.

This was in 2005 (he was 4).

Finally 2007 (6 years old)

I think this will be a tough trip without him (at times anyway) but I am looking forward to a Mom and Dad trip.

 

[TCKK]

Great pics!!

 

[MeMom]

He was just a little nibble to that big old dinosaur in the first picture, but by the third one, he looked big enough to put up a good fight if that dino dude came after him. Just think how tall he'll be by the 2009 trip!

As much as I know you guys will enjoy your alone trip, I imagine you'll be talking about him at every turn.

"This is Declan's favorite."
"Declan would love seeing/hearing these guys."
Maybe even, "Declan would be complaining about having to wait for this."

It really is too bad that you don't live closer and he couldn't hook up with you at the end of the trip for a few days. I know it's hard on you guys to get down there with air fare from your place so expensive, though.

You need to move further south. Tennessee's a great place to live. We have colleges, too. Pretty big ones. And it's not so cold for so long. And it's much, much closer to the Polynesian!

Of course, you'd have to drastically change your accent, or folks around here would know you were 'fureners'.
Around here, ah thank most young'uns have a purty suthern ax-ent.
Either that or they speak Spanish. You ought to hear my southern-born and bred third graders trying to speak Spanish.
It can get pretty interesting. It's a language all it's own, I can assure you.
Ever had a tore-teel-ya???

Too true MeMom


We came up with a cover story last night to explain the luggage we'll have in the car. Because we are taking DS to his grandparents, we'll have his suitcase. We're going to tell him we are going to Maine for a few days to shop. (Not his fav thing anyhow)

Today my Mom reminded me to "gently" remind Dad that DS wasn't to know where we are going. See, Dear Old Dad tends to be the worst secret keeper in the world. Keep your fingers crossed

We also requested that our tix and package stuff be delivered to declansdad's office. Hopefully these attempts at subterfuge will proove successful.

One more pic~
