I was told to look on disboutiquers for shirt ideas. But, the link sent me to a board called proboards and had me make a new account that is waiting on approval. Did I go to the wrong board?
 
Crafting up a storm. Second set of t-shirts done! Next project = autograph book.

That's something different. Here's the link for the current disboutique thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2975559&highlight=disboutique :)
 

You can buy really soft inexpensive teeshirts at Michaels and ACMoore - they go on sale for 2-3 $ each at regular intervals.

I worked at GKTW This morning. It was very quiet, but there have been lots of positive changes since I last worked there a couple years ago. Some of the landscaping that was in progress then is growing in nicely now. Lots of visual joy there.

Please ride the caroussel! It is SO much fun and has two spaces for wheelchairs, a turtle and a snail, if your child can't ride a moving animal.
 
I am so excited. We finally have our dates for our WISH trip!!! I started a pretrip report in the Disneyland section just now.

Someone mentioned that I could put the link in my signature. Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks so much!!!

GKTW volunteers are so special!! Thank you for giving your time at the Village. The carousel was a daily requirement for our family! It was a must do every day before and after eating at the Gingerbread House!

My kids are super excited to ride the carrousel! That is wonderful that you are volunteer there!

Just wanted to share how my angel Ava made me cry this morning. You see, years ago I was hurt pretty bad in the Army. I've had 9 abdominal surgeries in the last 10 years an pretty much live in constant pain. But, it's something I've come to accept and have learned to live with. Well, Ava's health has been worse than normal these last few months. It just breaks my heart to see her living in so much pain.*
* * *Last night she wanted to go to bed early, so I was a little scared she might be getting a fever. *Well, on the way out the door this morning she gave me a long letter....I guess that's what she was doing in bed last night. The letter said thank you. She said she never realized how hard it is to do little every day things when you're in so much pain...but now she does. She said she didn't know how I managed to take care of them and make her feel better when my stomach is hurting me so much. She also said days that when she's feeling ok she promises she will help me more with the house and the younger kids.*
* I tell you, that child has a heart of gold. She made me feel like a million bucks. The letter also made me a little sad. My child shouldn't know how it feels...she shouldn't have to experience that. * Anyway, I just wanted to share why I'm a proud mom this morning. :-)

Ok, I'm crying now.
 
Hi everyone!

I haven't posted in a while but I am always following this thread.

I wanted to give you guys an update on Holden...my best friend's son (I call him my nephew) who was diagnosed with leukemia at 6 months old.

First and foremost, he is doing great. :cool1: We hold our breath every month when he goes in for a check up but so far, so good. He also turned 3 this past Sunday! What a blessing!!! He was able to have his first ever birthday party too! He spent birthday 1 & 2 in the hospital so this was a big deal. He had a Jake and the Neverland Pirates themed party.

We also FINALLY heard back from Make a Wish. His stuff was submitted 6 months ago and it wasn't until now that we heard from the Volunteer. She is scheduled to meet with the family on Sunday. I'm not sure what's next after this initial meeting. The meeting is taking place at a baseball field (where older brother Trey is playing) so we'll see how that goes. Fingers crossed it all goes well! :worship:

Here is a pic of the boys from this past weekend. We went to the zoo on Monday to keep the birthday celebration going. Holden is the little blondie in the Rough & Tough sweatshirt....big brother Trey is wearing the Arsenal jersey and the little guy in the yellow jacket is my baby, JJ.

What a sweetheart. By the way, we traveled in December with 6 kids for our daughters wish trip. It was so fun with all of the kids, we just had to take it slow tho! I am due with #7 in June, thats why we did Elsa's trip when we did. :-) I should get started on my trip report!

You really should. :-). I'd love to read it.
 
We got our dates for Feb 0th to Feb 16th. I thought we were going to get a rental car but today the wish granter said when we get to the airport GKTW would meet us and bring us to the village - then we ould use their transportation to the parks.
Does nyone now how this works? Will we still be able to get to the walmart and all the parks?
