Here's the link to my Photopass pics from the parks and here's the link to my pics from our camera (including the cruise pics). I'm typing up my trip reports now and once I post them in here, I'll add the links to my siggy.

 

[LisaFB]

OK, you can check my siggy for links to my trip reports which also have links to all our pics (except for the TONS we bought from Shutters, which I'll scan eventually). I have some that I took on Halloween of all the kids, but want to wait to make sure that Michele and Monique are ok with me posting them before I do.

 

[minnie4me]

sure Lisa post them. I always like to see other peoples pics.

Still doing laundry !! Don't have alot of space to hang stuff to dry. Should hang a line in basement. At least eveyone has clean socks & undies now.

I'll have to post more next week. We did have a great time !! Glad to meet everyone we did !!

It's fine with me too, Lisa!

We're still not home. Flying back to California tomorrow, though. I'm SO ready to be in my own house!!!!

 

[Stephieann]

Wow, lisa you have been busy...I also have a trip report going. I will have to post my link in my siggy also. DH and i have decided to go again in 2011 when one of the new ships come out. That will be our 15 yr anny. Well we will go if the itinarary is where we can.

Talk about walking funny... i still think i feel the sway of the ship when i am sitting still... LOL....wow.... am i still on the Wonder... HEHEHEHE

 

[LisaFB]

Steph, I'm soo glad it wasn't just me with the swaying!! Friday I thought I was going to pass out until I sat still...

Here are the pics of everyone from Halloween...

We decided we're going back to WDW (parks only) in 3 years for 10 days. This way we'll have more than 1 day at each park and can go back and rest at the hotel (Aaron will be able to nap while Jackie & Seth play at the pool or around the hotel) and then we'll be able to get back to the parks for the fireworks and stuff. In 5 years, for our 10th anniversary, we're going on one of the 7 night cruises to renew our vows. Hopefully our parents and Scott's bro and sis and their families will be able to join us then as well! As much fun as we had, the combo trip of land/sea is way too tiring, especially with very young kids!

Here's a few of the pictures that we bought on the ship. And a few that we bought on our excursion on Nassau.

Sorry - Emily needs me. Gotta run!

Ugh, went back to work yesterday.

But hey, I won a clock at the castaway club meeting, so that's exciting!

 

[Stephieann]

Monique, great pics!!!

 

[minnie4me]

Oh, the pics are great !! Monique you really got some cute ones !!

We had a really nice time on vacation, Trevor had a blast. He loved the cruise, especially the club.
It was great to meet those of you we did, by the way, thanks for all the great Halloween treats. The pirate duckies have had a few squirting battles in the tub since we got home, unfortunately I got soaked by one (accidently), but the warm bath water comes out of that duck COLD !!
I hope everyone got to enjoy themselves even if the weatehr wasn't the best. If it hadn't been for the wind, and waves you couldn't have asked for a nicer time.
We had great servers in the dining rooms. Witt and Fransico, they did magic tricks for Trevor and treated him like a prince. What fun dining was. We lucked out with very nice tablemates. A family of 6, mom, dad, 3 kids and grandma. Only downfall: they were Bengals fans, but since we beat them 24-13 Sun afternoon, they kept pretty quiet about football. I did raze them just alittle.
Could only wish for more ocean time at CC. It was Trevor's first ocean experience, and he really wanted to build a sand castle.
We were chosen as a "Magical family" out of 2577 people on board. It is a random thing. Twice we got cookies in our room. Trevor got several stuffed animals and some Disney trinkets for his birthday. He got a $10 card for the arcade too. We were invited to a reception on deck 9 one evening, but the wind was so bad you had to hang on to your appitzer plate (and it was china not paper). We also had the opportunity to either snorkel, bicycle or rent rafts free at CC. Trevor was too young to snorkel, no way I am going to bicycle when there is an ocean availabe and the beach closed before we could rent rafts. Bummer we didn't get to use it, but was a nice gift.
Considering a 7 night cruise for 2009, also considering going to the Carribean and staying at some all-inclusive type resort to more enjoy the beautiful ocean and sand.
Every one stay in touch as long as you can. Have great holidays !! I'll keep checking the board and posting on it from time-to-time !!
Oh yeah, did anyone else gain weight over the vacation. We all did, especially DH !! He got a real workout at basketball thursday night !!

 

[LisaFB]

Monique, I'm so glad you guys bought that one of Emily and Belle, that's the one we kept telling you about that was beautiful! Love all your pics!

Hope everyone is back home and settled again. We're finishing our laundry today FINALLY and I changed the kids' spring/ summer clothes over to fall/ winter. We actually got snow flurries last night!!

Anyway, I fell down the stairs on Wed and both Scott & Jackie got Pink Eye the same day. We're not sure if they got it from Seth or not since he was over and done with his drops by then (did we tell you he got it on the ship?), so it's been quite a week for us. The baby is ok but I'm all achy and in pain. I landed on ceramic tile on my bad knee that had 2 surgeries last year!

 

[minnie4me]

Wishing everyone a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving. Good luck to anyone brave enough to face black friday shopping !! Hope everyone is well.
Take care !!

 

[LisaFB]

Same to you!! We already finished our shopping, thank goodness, since Hanukkah is in 2 weeks and Jackie's 4th birthday is next week! Enjoy your turkey tomorrow everyone!

 

[LisaFB]

Is anyone still around? I wanted to let you all know that, unless something happens sooner, I'm scheduled for a C/S this coming Friday (Feb 15) at 8 am!!! Less than 4 days and I get to meet my newest son!!!

 

[minnie4me]

Lisa,
an early congratulations and good luck !! When you are up to it, would love to see some baby pics and vital info like weight/height etc... Hope all is well with your family, and anyone else who still checks out this thread. I have it in my quick links and check it occasionally.
Too bad about the Steelers, between them and the Redskins (Eric's team) our house was solemn for about a week. We were extremely happy the Giants won !!
We just went to see the broadway production of the Lion King on Sunday in Pittsburgh. It was great !! Trevor really enjoyed it !! The costumes were amazing.
Again Lisa, all the best to you and your family and a big welcome to Aaron, what a special valentine's day gift !!

 

[LisaFB]

Awww, thanks!!! I can't believe it's tomorrow morning already! WOW!!! I'll definitely post some pics and his stats ASAP. I'll be in the hospital from tomorrow till Tues and we're bringing the laptop. I was a Giants fan before I ever met Scott and he dragged me over the the Steelers so I was very happy!

 

[LisaFB]

Aaron Logan arrived Friday, Feb 15 at 8:08 am weighing 8 lbs 1 oz and 19 inches long! My c/s went well and my doc tied my tubes. He also found a hole in a ligament that he needed to repair. Aaron is 2 weeks old today (already?!) and is doing great! Jackie & Seth are so in love with him and he's such a sweet baby boy! My family is now complete!!!! I have my entire birth story and some updates posted in my MySpace blog so if any of you are on there and want to read it, let me know and I'll friend you (http://www.myspace.com/eliezrah). I have tons of pics of him in my Clark group room at http://jackieseth.clarkcolor.com/ Just go to any album with his name in it to see the pics. I will leave you with these few pics though...

And the announcement I made

 

[minnie4me]

Lisa,
Congratulations. Aaron is a beautiful little boy. Well, not so little, he is a nice size. Glad to hear all went well. The kids look happy to have him join the family. Of course I loved seeing him with his Steelers football, never too young to start being a fan !! Also, gotta love him in his Mickey garb.
Take care and enjoy your time with him, as you know, they grow up way too fast !!
