Nathan's Wish Trip Aug. 2008

[mommyof2princesses]

Sent out a package for ya'll this morning! Keep your eyes open!

 

[Clutterbug]

I finally had an opportunity to read through your Pre-Trip Report. I'm sorry you have had a few disappointments, but I'm sure everything will work out once you arrive. At least you are finding out now so that it won't be a surprise when you get there.

The girls look GREAT in their new outfits!! I mailed out a package yesterday and I'm in central Maine, so it shouldn't take too long to get there.

Nathan received a package yesterday from TNKRBELLE565. The package arrived during my father-in-law's birthday party at my house. Thanks so much. Nathan is a huge Red Sox fan and she sent him a Red Sox shirt and Red Sox school supplies. I though that Nathan had every Red Sox shirt but, I guess not. Kristine found one that he didn't have . Here are some pictures....

as always, trying to open the package.

Nathan with the shirt

He likes the school supplies, but doesn't want to think about school yet

Thank you Kristine for the gifts for Nathan. He is known at school as Red Sox boy because all he wears is Red Sox shirts.
The Disboutiquers have done it again . Thank you

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Oh I'm so glad he got them...and enjoyed them!!!

Boy it was like Christmas around here today. The post office called and there was 4 packages waiting for the kids and we also got mail from GKTW. We got packages from princessmom29, clutterbug, SallyfromDE and a fourth package from ?. There was no card inside, but it had the most amazing Epcot World Passport books in it. We are planning to take some time and go through the countries at Epcot this year. My two oldest daughters really want to spent time there. The kids loved everything. Katelyn got 2 more wonderful outfits (an Eeyore set and a black & pink cheetah set), Morgan got a beautiful skirt and shirt set (Eeyore of course), and Nathan got a shirt with an appliqued Goofy on it. You all are just kind and truly amazing people to give freely of yourself. Thank you soooo much. We are forever greatful Pictures to follow soon, I promise.
We received a welcome flyer from GKTW today, now it seems like it is really happining.
We also got a call from Nathan's wish granters. They will be here at 5:00 tomorrow to give us all the final details Everyone is really starting to get excited

AHHHHH I can't believe I didn't put the postcards in your package!!! I got the most wonderful postcards of some of my mermaid friends from right here in Weeki Wachee (City of Live Mermaids) and a sticker for you Robin.... I am soooo sorry, I will send them out to you as soon as I find out where they went to.

Well, here are the pictures like I promised

This is the beautiful outfit from Amy. And this one too

These are the Epcot books from t-beri. They are awesome

Nathan opened this package because it had his name on it. You should have seen his face when he saw the pink cheetah pattern. It was so funny He thought it was for him , but it was for Katelyn

Katelyn likes the pattern Thank you Angela

Nathan loved the Goofy shirt Thank you Sally

My kids will be the best dressed kids in Disney and at school. They can't wait to show off their new customs

Thank you all. You are angels

Tnkrbelle565, did you notice the shirt Nathan was wearing when he was opening the packages?

THANK YOU Disboutiquers

 

[HeatherSue]

WOW! It must have been fun opening all those packages! The kids look great in their new clothes!

 

[Stephres]

You should have one arriving from me soon! The outfits look so great on!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

I am hoping my package gets there tomorrow!

 

[mistymouse5001]

You're doing a great report!

 

[Clutterbug]

Looks like a fun day at your house. They all look so nice in their new outfits! Thank you so much for sharing pictures with us.

 

[HeatherSue]

I got the sweetest thank you note from Morgan yesterday. It really made my day! Henry picked on me mercilessly because I got all teary-eyed reading it.

Thank you so much Morgan!! You are a sweetheart!!

Sorry it took me so long to sub but my goodness you guys have been through a lot! Our family will be doing a wish trip as well and around the same time! We are staying at Pop century!! When I read about spectro I was kinda bummed but then I thought about how the crowds won't be as bad because maybeeeee people will go back to their resorts earlier. Wishful thinking I know but one can hope right!? I am taking some notes from your planning....I need to get on the ball here. We also are purchasing extra days at WDW because my children aren't really into US. We went to the web site and there was maybe 3 rides they wanted to do, so I don't think it would be all the great for my little ones. Your older children may love it though, the rides are geared towards the teens anyway. I can't wait to here more!

When we were first asked to be a part of the "Big Give", I thought it was a great idea. I really thought the kids would get a nice t-shirt or a book or something like that. We never expected to get all the surprises that he have received . I am truly in amazement We received another package today from Stephanie and Megan. They made Animal Kingdom themed outfits. Nathan got a cool shirt and Morgan got patchwork shorts and a matching top. Morgan did not want to take it off. Nathan's wish granters came tonight and she wanted to wear it to show them.

Here are Nathan's wish granters, Joanne and Stacey. They were also amazed with all the great gifts that the kids have got from all of you Disboutiquers. Thank you, but it does not seem to say enough on how greatful we are for your kindness

Well, we got our final details of our trip. We are being picked up by a limo , the kids don't know yet. I will let it be a surprise . They gave Nathan a nice messenger bag filled with goodies to help keep him busy on the plane. We got our expense check. HOLY COW. It brought tears to my eyes. What a blessing, The Make-a-Wish foundation . We can't wait, everyone is beaming with excitement.

 

[HeatherSue]

Nathan and Morgan look great in their AK outfits!! That Steph is so thoughtful! I got to meet her in person when we went to Disney in May. She is wonderful, and so are her kids!

I love that Morgan wanted to show her wish granters her new outfit. She is such a sweetheart!

It's so exciting to hear about your trip!

 

[sherreis]

All of the gifts have been wonderful. Sounds like all the details are falling into place. Looking forward to hearing about your trip.

 

[jessica52877]

[Tnkrbelle565]
