Hey! Finally came over to check out your PTR. My goodness, I love GKTW. I really hope to volunteer over there sometime in the future. I can't even imagine what this must mean to you, your family and all the other families out there that they are helping. You have an adorable family. I can't wait to read the TR!!

I love the Disneyland pictures! You are so lucky to have grown up around there, I've never been.

I always check in on these boards but don't reply quite as often as I would like to. In between doubling major in school and being a Nanny I barely have time to catch up on the threads! I loved the update! Your girls are too cute! I have never been to Disneyland but want to go sometime! It's amazing how quick kids can grow. I was looking at your pictures here and went back and looked at someof your newer ones and your girls have grown so much!

Okay, I'm so not supposed to be on here right now as dh took the girls on errands so I could finish grading papers, but I had to stop in and tell you I love the pictures! You all must be getting so excited!!!!!!

Tisk Tisk...Sounds like me too. I am not supposed to be on the DIS cause I have a lot of college work to get done before the big family Easter weekend..Oops

I love the pix of you on the teacup!

I couldn't help but notice the contrast in faces on the tram. Either the lady was really concerned about something that's sitting behind Phoebe, or just ate a lemon!

I was thinking she bit something with pepper in it .

Oh Tessa is too cute twirling around in her dress.I love that vintage style dress. It is adorable. Sierra still loves to wear dresses to this day and Tessa reminds me ALOT of her. Sierra wouldnt stand still for anything. She never just walked anywhere she had to run and we did a lot of chasing

Pheobe looks like she is having a great time! Those teacups oh my They can really get ya dizzy. I don't like to spin them either. I think my two will ride them by themselves this time

Hi Melissa,

The pics of Disneyland are GREAT! I love the one of Phoebe on the tram -- she looks sooo happy!

I know nothing about Disneyland so it's great to see some of the rides and stuff!

It's also fun to see them to see how they might react in a few weeks!!!

Blessings,

just wanted to wish your family a great trip...my family is leaving for GKTW through Make-A-Wish April13-19

So great I can't wait to see the rest of the DL trip!

Phoebe's smile just lights up her face! How beautiful!!! The pics from Disneyland are wonderful! Catherine is most looking forward to Mad Hatters Tea Party, so she loved looking at these pics.
Less than two weeks now!! Yippee!!

It's an addiction. I understand.

Thanks. And
So far every family that's been there wants to go back and volunteer, even if only for a day. I can't wait to experience it with Phoebe!

I love the Disneyland pictures! You are so lucky to have grown up around there, I've never been.

I used to tell people I met while traveling that's where I lived, as a point of reference. This was in the OLD days before everyone knew about "the OC". You'll go someday, when you're a famous actress in Hollywood.

I have never been to Disneyland but want to go sometime! It's amazing how quick kids can grow. I was looking at your pictures here and went back and looked at someof your newer ones and your girls have grown so much!

From what I can tell (since I have never been to MK) DisneyLAND is basically the same as MK. There definitely is a different atmosphere around the park itself, because they don't have all the themed resorts and restaurants and such.

You're right - kids grow fast!

I love the pix of you on the teacup!

Thanks! I was glad that the girls enjoyed it.

I think she was just deep in conversation. The little boy next to her was her grandson and he was in a wheelchair (which is why we were sitting in the same section of the tram). They were telling us some tips and raving about how wonderful Disney is for special needs visitors.

Great update! Thanks for taking us on a walk down memory lane

It's nice to have an excuse to.

Yep, sounds like Tessa.

The pics of Disneyland are GREAT! I love the one of Phoebe on the tram -- she looks sooo happy!

This is part of why we chose WDW for her wish. She had NO IDEA where we were going. She just loves to be out and moving and amongst people. I think she's going to love her trip.

Wow, you're going soon!!! Have a great trip! I hope you'll share your trip with us when you get back! If you see us on the 18th say HI!!!

So great I can't wait to see the rest of the DL trip!

Hopefully today....we got last minute visitors for the week.

Phoebe's smile just lights up her face! How beautiful!!!

I'm glad Catherine enjoyed the pics. Phoebe does have a beautiful smile, Thanks.

How nice of that lady to give you some tips and talk with you!! I love when strangers can just be friendly - and it seems to happen more at Disney~!!

You are soooo close!!

 

[Mtopher4]

Not much longer and I'm almost to the one mOnth point.

Just wanted to stop by and say Hello I Love the DisneyLand Pics. My Dad use to live very close to Disney Land and before I had kids when I would visit we would go

It was just a speckle of pixie dust but it was a nice little moment to start the day with. I've been to DL 1,000 times but this was the first time with a wheelchair so it eased the nerves a little to get the low down from them.

for both of us! We're getting so close! I'm looking forward to comparing DL to MK. And the rest of the parks are just in a league of their own, nothing to compare to.

The Nikon Coolpix arrived today!!! I'm charging up the battery so I can go play with it. Will have to post a couple of sample tonight.

I'm gathering the girls' beach and touring clothes for week 2, as well as packing my own stuff! I'm hoping I have enough clothes I can get away with packing away my trip wardrobe without having to take anything out of the suitcase. This is a first for me, so I guess I'm pretty excited. I refuse to stay awake until 3am the night before we leave and ruin my mood on travel day.

If I can get the clothes all packed I can spend next week worrying about all the little details.

We leave in 12 days!!!!!

 

[yinyanggirls]

I messed up the links on the first page (forgot about that second http thing) but they're fixed now. I know everybody was worried about that, and wondering how they could recap this entire trip report before we leave.

 

[that's nice]

I can't believe you leave in 12 days!!!!!! How awesome!!!!!

I can't wait to read all about your trip!!! (am I getting ahead of myself? )

Did you feel any shaking from the earthquake the other day?

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Wow, the quilts are gorgeous! I really loved your pictures from Disneyland too. Very cute! Can't wait to see them from this trip with your new camera. I bought the Nikon finepix right before our trip last May and I LOVE it! I played with it for weeks! It takes great pics!

12 more days to go! Glad your working on getting all packed up. I love packing, it's so exciting!
