Ringing in 2010, 6 months til we'll be back again

[brookelizabeth]

I hope the news comes today about Bella, I cannot imagine the difficulty in waiting to hear from the doctor. We are still praying for her, and the other little one, here!

Does everyone have their calendars marked for Toy Story 3 June 18th? We should all see the movie at the same time and then come back and talk about it!

Sounds good to me! We took Henry to his first movie a week or so ago. We attempted for Princess in the Frog while in New Orleans, but it didn't happen...the theater was GONE! We were bummed though, to see that IN New Orleans would have been cool! Anyway, more on that in my TR... We took Henry to the Chipmunks movie since Princess and the Frog isn't showing here (small town!) - he loooooooved it and did VERY well. So Toy Story 3 will be a definite!

I talked to a CM there about the changes, and she said that behind the play area there was already a lot of work being done. She said if you could see past the tree line behind the area, you would already see big changes.

Mickey's House, which is somehow supposedly going to be moved to the front of the park. It will be interesting to see what the future holds and what our pictures five years look like compared to our pictures now.

I would love to see current areal pictures of it all! I hadn't heard that either about Mickey's house. Interesting....

She pointed to the swamp land and told John, "That is where you hide when the policemen are chasing you." I have no idea where it came from, but it totally made me laugh.

I love the pic of Bella zipped up in your coat! I used to do that with Henry too. Kept me and him warm!

MeMom, I did a little research and found out that Toontown is supposedly staying open until the fall. So you'll get to see it again this summer

In other news, I'm done with my exams! And I'm going to see Kazin either tomorrow or Sunday!

Since I live near Huntsville, we watch their local news....saw on the news about a tornado that hit H'ville last night.

Hope Jill and her family are all safe!

We are safe. It touched down about 15 minutes from the house. It did hit one of our PreK teachers house. She said I giant tree missed there roof by about 2 inches. She just got married and her husband is from Canada and this was his first encounter with a tornado. She said she was in the closet with the dogs and he said he was headed to the front porch. SHe told him not to but he sadi he had been in blizzards before so he could handle a little wind. She said he ran back into the closet because the tornado picked up a truck two houses down and slammed it into the house. he now knows that tornados and blizzards are two very different things!

Jill and Memom,

I will definitely remember Bella and the baby in my prayers. I am so sorry that you are going through this, but I am sure Bella will be fine. She has so much love surrounding her.

I enjoyed your updates. Those crowds are amazing. We have never been at any peak season. I don't know if I could handle that kind of crowd.

Sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way.

Love the updates. It looks like it was pretty crowded!!

That was the crowd at about 4:30 on the 28th. We just go first thing in the morning when everyone else is still sleeping and go until about lunch and then head out for a break and if we head back in the evening it is for only one or two specific things.

I hope the news comes today about Bella, I cannot imagine the difficulty in waiting to hear from the doctor. We are still praying for her, and the other little one, here!

It definitely kept me warm too!

I called the doctor today at 11:00 because I still hadn't heard anything and I didn't want to go into the weekend still not knowing anything. I waited around work until about 12:30 (I had given them that number when I called at 11:00) and then decided to go to lunch because the nurses were probably at lunch and I wanted to be back when they called. I had pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road when my cell phone rang. It was the doctor's office. Isn't that the way it always is?!?! ANyway she apologized and said the girl who does the scheduling was out sick and asked if I wanted her to make the appointment for me. I told her yeas and she sadi she would call me back. I ran to Walmart and was standing in line with my tabloid magazine, single slice of Hershey's Sundae Pie, and a box of trash bags (the real reason for the trip to Walmart) when the phone rang. I had stuck a pen and paper in my pocket in case she called while I was inside but I couldn't get to the paper so I just wrote the info on the box of trash bags. The guy in front of me was looking at me like I was crazy (but I'm used to that since I am the one standing next to MeMom as she takes pictures of Bo with a Santa hat on). So Isabella's appointment is for Wednesday, February 10th at 11:15. So I just have to monitor the size of it right now and if anything changes I have to call the doctor. Now we just have to hurry up and wait!

I'm glad that Bella got an appointment. They always call you back when you least expect it!

 

[daisylove]

Im so glad you have the appt. I find that alone is something that helps when you set it up. It will be ok. Praying for your Bella!

Oh my goodness...I hope all will be well with your pre-K teacher's home. But I did have to chuckle when I read her Canadian husband's comment, about handling a "little wind". I'm sure he now knows the difference.

**********************************************************
Glad you have the doctor's appointment set up. Hopefully the days will fly by, and you'll be able to have your questions answered and fears relieved.

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

A while back someone asked me to friend them on facebook and I was at work which has facebook blocked. I said I would come back that afternoon when I got home and I forgot. So if you asked me to friend you and I haven't please let me know I have gone back to page 37 and I just can't find it.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Bella is absolutely precious all zipped up in your jacket! So cute. I had to really giggle about the policemen and the swamp. What an imagination Brooklynn has! Did you make the big/little sissy shirts Jill? They are really cute!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I don't know why but the doctor's office always calls at the most inconvenient times. What's with that?
Glad Bella has the appointment and I hope that the time flies by so that this worry is lifted.

 

[Poolrat]

Thinking about all of you and sending thoughts and prayers

I hope Bella isn't bothered by the issue with her eye and I hope everything turns out for the best.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

When life throws little worries your way, I can't think of anything better to do than pray and go to Disney World.
In that order.

I couldn't have said it any better.

A swing through Sir Mickey's.

I love this frame! Reading it made me tear up.

Does everyone have their calendars marked for Toy Story 3 June 18th? We should all see the movie at the same time and then come back and talk about it!

We do! We are all so excited to the new movie in this house.

Mickey's House, which is somehow supposedly going to be moved to the front of the park. It will be interesting to see what the future holds and what our pictures five years look like compared to our pictures now.

I had no idea! Wow, is Toon Town supposed to completey go away then? That would make me sad.

I asked Memom if ya'll would friend me, but that was just a few pages ago. Elena Oliveri Hiett

 

[moparop]

Glad to hear you have an appointment, but what a bummer being so far away! How hurry up and wait is sooo hard!

That tornado was awful close. I am so thankful to hear you are all safe!

 

[uncw89]

I'm glad the tornado missed you all and you are safe. I saw on our news the 17 year old boy who's truck went into the house. Was that the one that your near your your co-workers house?

 

[punkin413]

glad you got the appointment. i know that helps with the waiting a little bit since now you have a date to work with. i'm sure if it was anything too serious they would have gotten her in immediately.

 

[MeMom]

My prayers are with you also for baby Bella and the sweet little baby boy! The only good thing about surgery at her age, is that she will not remember it. Also, little ones bounce back so quickly.

True on both counts. She may have a tiny battle scar of what she doesn't remember.

Continued thoughts and prayers with Bella and your students family. Headed to Bible study I will mention them in prayer request.

Jill said the baby's father seemed much more rested and in a better frame of mind today, so she hoped it meant the baby was doing okay.

I've promised myself to start posting more (I'm usually not so reserved) and since we were talking about the "Steps" I have to share... I adore the stepsisters (and I am a stepsister myself.) In fact, I found a patch of them that I ironed on to a polo before our big family trip last January (a year ago Monday in fact. Sigh.)

Of course, I went to see them, and they all squealed with delight - the Evil Stepmom said, very dramatically, "Girls! She's RETURNED! The long lost sister!" The sisters jumped up and down and yelled that it was about time someone wore the REAL princesses on their shirt because they were getting really tired of all the "other fake princesses".

You can see the patch pretty well here... Needless to say, my stepbrother (who was with us) thought it was awesome.

I can see them doing all of that. They must have a lot of fun in their roles.

Jill ,your student & his family are in my thoughts and prayers . Sweet Baby Bella is also in our thoughts & prayers , I'm sure everything will turn out just fine .

Nice updates MeMom Love the picture from the castle show ! Wonderful shopping pictures as always , making my shopping list for next time get longer & longer . lol Wow, the crowds were ginormous ! Where does the path behind the speedway start , have never taken it before ?

Nice update Jill So cute what Brooklyn had to say about the swamp , sounds like something my Lillian would say . I love the girls Crystal Palace shirts , I def need to make some of those shirts for my kiddies !

The path runs from right by the train station in Toontown down to Space Mountain. When you are walking there, you usually see very few people, even though there are thousands pretty close by.

I hope the news comes today about Bella, I cannot imagine the difficulty in waiting to hear from the doctor. We are still praying for her, and the other little one, here!



Sounds good to me! We took Henry to his first movie a week or so ago. We attempted for Princess in the Frog while in New Orleans, but it didn't happen...the theater was GONE!

I would love to see current areal pictures of it all! I hadn't heard that either about Mickey's house. Interesting....

That really would have been cool to see it in New Orleans!

MeMom, I did a little research and found out that Toontown is supposedly staying open until the fall. So you'll get to see it again this summer

In other news, I'm done with my exams! And I'm going to see Kazin either tomorrow or Sunday!

Good. I will be sure to take a lot of last pictures of it as it is.

Have a fun weekend!

Definitely will be keeping your little Bella in my prayers!!

Loved the update!! Brooklynn's line cracked me up LOL!!!

Brooklynn is a nut sometimes. I hope you can meet her someday and carry on a conversation with her.

I'm glad that Bella got an appointment. They always call you back when you least expect it!

Since they aren't in any hurry for an appointment, it makes me figure he thinks it's nothing.

Im so glad you have the appt. I find that alone is something that helps when you set it up. It will be ok. Praying for your Bella!

It will. Thanks for the good thoughts.

Oh my goodness...I hope all will be well with your pre-K teacher's home. But I did have to chuckle when I read her Canadian husband's comment, about handling a "little wind". I'm sure he now knows the difference.

Glad you have the doctor's appointment set up. Hopefully the days will fly by, and you'll be able to have your questions answered and fears relieved.

Isn't it nice when we just have normal calm days with regular temperatures? We've had lots of crazy weather lately.

A while back someone asked me to friend them on facebook and I was at work which has facebook blocked. I said I would come back that afternoon when I got home and I forgot. So if you asked me to friend you and I haven't please let me know I have gone back to page 37 and I just can't find it.

Me, too. If I have skipped you, it was totally accidental, and feel free to ask again.

Bella is absolutely precious all zipped up in your jacket! So cute. I had to really giggle about the policemen and the swamp. What an imagination Brooklynn has! Did you make the big/little sissy shirts Jill? They are really cute!

Jill did those. They have worn them to two CP meals.

I don't know why but the doctor's office always calls at the most inconvenient times. What's with that?
Glad Bella has the appointment and I hope that the time flies by so that this worry is lifted.

You're so funny. That could be made into a cartoon - a bunch of doctors sitting around watching a webcam, waiting for a patient to get busy, then picking up the phone to call and getting a big kick out of it.

Thinking about all of you and sending thoughts and prayers

I hope Bella isn't bothered by the issue with her eye and I hope everything turns out for the best.

Doesn't seem to be bothering her a bit.

I couldn't have said it any better.


I love this frame! Reading it made me tear up.



We do! We are all so excited to the new movie in this house.



I had no idea! Wow, is Toon Town supposed to completey go away then? That would make me sad.

I think Toontown is getting a complete overhaul. Barnstormer is movingas is Mickey's house, and I think Minnie's, too.

I asked Memom if ya'll would friend me, but that was just a few pages ago. Elena Oliveri Hiett

We will be friends soon.

Glad to hear you have an appointment, but what a bummer being so far away! How hurry up and wait is sooo hard!

That tornado was awful close. I am so thankful to hear you are all safe!

Just gotta go about life. The doctor didn't seem to think there was anything to rush about, so that's a very positive sign, as far as I see it.

 

[MeMom]

glad you got the appointment. i know that helps with the waiting a little bit since now you have a date to work with. i'm sure if it was anything too serious they would have gotten her in immediately.

That's what I think, too. I'm sure they see these things fairly often.

 

[twob4him]

Just jumping in here trying to catch up...I just posted on Jill's FB page before I realized what was going on....so I would like to add my prayers to everyone elses! I am sure things will be fine and it sounds like you're in good hands!

Memom...love the pics but the crowds are simply amazing!!! I was just reading details about the fantasyland expansion....I think maybe that Pooh's playspot is staying put....so hephalumps will be fine! Here is a link: http://gdpinvestigation.blogspot.com/2010/01/gdp-special-report-new-fantasyland.html

 

[ladybugmom]

Hi MeMom and Jill!! I was soooo behind but now I'm all caught up!! Whew!! I am just LOVING all of the pictures--all of the Christmas decorations have me sooo excited for this next Christmas when we go to WDW!!

I'll be praying for that sweet preemie baby boy and for Bella as well. And Jill--I am so glad to hear that ya'll are ok after the tornado!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Jill, you know how I feel about tornadoes so I am glad to hear everyone is safe after yesterday's scare. I hope that is the worst of the season.

Glad to hear Bella has her appointment scheduled now.
