She was so tiny and cute!

She was so tiny and cute!

I know! Hard to believe she is turning 7 in a few weeks! I can barely pick her up now!

Time truly flies ... all the more reason to cherish these trips as much as possible!

I love all these pictures you are posting, they are adorable!! Your t-shirts are going to be great, too. I can't make them because I don't have the right kind of printer to do the iron on transfers

I may try to make dd a few dresses before we go. I know I'm running short of time LOL Too bad we aren't going at the same time!

Thanks! It is like walking down memory lane with all of our Disney time! I love it!

I hope the tee shirts come out ok ... I have them all printed but have not ironed them on yet .... need to do that soon to make sure it will work haha!

I wish I could sew ... I love all the cute dress sets on Etsy! If only I had endless supplies of money LOL

Yeah, it would have been fun to meet up ... well at least when I am back home I can live vicariously through you !!

Sammie's first time meeting her daddy's favorite, Donald Duck #1!

This was her second trip ... also an R&R (military deployment vacation) trip in June 2006. She was 23 months old.

That picture with Tigger is great! You are right to treasure these times when your kids are young......we went the first time when DS was 7 and DD was 10 - they are now 14 and 17 - time does fly!

Aww time does fly! My kids are three years apart too, older one being the girl ... how has that worked out throughout the years for you guys? Do they get along? They are DS- 3 1/2 and DD 6 almost 7 right now and really do get along well so far ... they fight some but can easily play together for a long time. I am sure when DD gets more tween/teen-ish she will not be so willing LOL But I hope they are always close!!!

24 sleeps until Disney!!!

This is Sammie's second time meeting the mouse himself, and we caught him in Safari gear!

My kids sometimes have a love hate relationship......the tweens/teens have been a little rocky at times. Other times they get along great. They do both worry about each other though, so down deep I know they really are close.

That is great to hear! I have an older sister and we have never been close, even now. She is 2 1/2 years older. All my friends in HS had brothers, some older, some younger, and they all got along SO WELL and still do, so I was happy to have one of each gender! I hope they are close throughout life!!!

23 sleeps until Disney
and 18 sleeps until my hubby should be home!!!

Sammie's sees Pooh again!

[tinkerbell60]

I would think that if your kids are close now, they will stay that way......of course there may be a few bumps in the road!

Where did you get the Mary Poppins iron on for your daughter?

 

[flipflopmom]

Hey! Just jumping on here since it is highly likely we will run into each other at some point! We'll be at BLT from 2-9, so maybe even ride the bus/monorail at some point. I need to see if any of our park days coincide... Were you one of hte ones going to AK on the 6th? If it's for AM EMH, we'll probably definitely be on bus together!



This is a clickable thumbnail, so you can get an idea of what we look like!

I'm feeling very overwhelmed right now, because I am taking 3 grad. school classes trying to finish my Master's by December. Two will be done just in time to go, but I've got to work non-stop to get them there. I feel so slack on my planning.. And scared. This is our 3rd year in a row, and we wanted a more laid back trip, but laid back doesn't have to mean unplanned.
