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

So let me catch up with what we have covered so far.

Brooklynn and John rode Dumbo. It was far too cold for me and Bella to join them. Watch Brooklynn in the second video.





While I was nursing Bellarie in our secret place. Brooklynn got to chat with Snow White.



We then headed back to Liberty Square to have our much anticipated meet with Tiana and Naveen. The grin in the group picture says it all.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
 
Drew's pictures are amazing!

The whole family is home today enjoying a snow day. I really should be doing something...but I'm being terribly lazy. It feels nice!

Snow days should be lazy and fun days. :)



It's supposed to be 67 the day I get there :thumbsup2 I checked the weather for the day I leave last night and it said snow showers :eek: But fortunately it now says partly cloudy and no snow :)

It looks like Meg will get out of Boston on time tomorrow! The snow is supposed to hit me before her. They've already cancelled school tomorrow in some towns around here because it's supposed to be really bad. I just checked the list and the town right next to mine is out tomorrow. I'm waiting for the announcement for my school :upsidedow

I leave in one week :banana:

By the way, I LOVE Drew's pictures!!!

This has surely been a wild winter. I know I am looking forward to spring more than I can remember looking forward to spring in the past several years, and that's eve without a Disney trip planned!

I'm hoping Meg and Trent can cross paths on Sunday.



So he got to drive in the really awful weather not once, but twice. NIIICE! My hubby got home in record time this evening because everything was clear and wonderful by the time he left!

Glad he made it both ways safely. It's always good to hear the door open and know your loved ones are back in the nest. :)



All this trip planning I've been doing about my ADR's lately has made me SO hungry! :rotfl: Now I'm just debating...on whether or not to take pics of the food. I don't want to get any crazy looks from other people!

Take pictures, of course! Who cares what other people think? You are never going to see them again, and you'll have to deal with us forever if you don't bring back pictures of your yummy stuff!

And it won't be pretty. ;)

I was just reading another report where the mom had taken a picture of her son eating this lucious cheeseburger, and she had another picture of the famiy's Main Street Bakery sweets. It added so much to the report to see the food. :thumbsup2



I just found out I have a snow day tomorrow :yay: But I take back what I said about Meg getting out on time tomorrow :sad2: I just found out on her TR that she won't be leaving until Friday. But she was able to rearrange the dates so I think she still has the same amount of time there!

I'm glad she got everything situated. She'll still have the same amount of time, so that's good. I know they were all frustrated, though.



WOW!!!!! Drew's pictures are just amazing!!!!!!!!! Its like looking at pictures in a magazine!! He is very, very talented!!!:goodvibes




That is so sad that a 7 year old would even know to make "eyes" with a male judge!!! gosh!!!
I think those parents are nutty!!! Period!!!


Oh yeah, now Hollie loves putting makeup on and getting dressed up in her princess dresses. We had to get on to Chad's mom...she was bringing her real adult makeup! I don't think so!!!! She can have little girl play makeup, not the kind that lady wears!!



She is so easy to get!!! :lmao:

I think that's what he wants to do - photograph for magazines. Those jobs may be hard to come by, though, so be on the lookout for any photography jobs you hear of anywhere. He's a traveler at heart, and he would relocate without hesitation.

It was sickening to hear the little girl talk about the man. I won't be watching that show again. I watched out of curiosity and disbelief, and that was enough for me for a lifetime.

Brooklynn loves the little girl make-up, too. I think that's what she chose to get at the Disney Store this weekend. Jill put everything in the sack, so I didn't really see what she ended up with.





I am trying to get some pictures and video loaded. Of course the one video that I really want to share is the one that is having trouble uploading. No problems with the other 3 I loaded that were taking by the same camera, the same day! So frustrating!!! I will probably do the update tomorrow morning while my body is at work but my mind is on Isabella's appointment at 11:00

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing the videos.
Probably more than once. :)




Saying a little prayer that you'll hear a good report. :hug:

Good luck to you and Bella tomorrow Jill! I know it will be a relief to at least have a game plan!

Jill, I'll be thinking of you and Bella tomorrow at 11:00, when I get to school, I'm putting a reminder on the chalkboard...:goodvibes


I agree! I too will be thikning about you tomorrow @ 11.

Good luck to you and Bella! :hug:

Will definately think good thoughts for Bella tomorrow.

Love Drew's pictures. He does amazing work!

Good luck this morning, Jill! :goodvibes

good thoughts for all, esp. sweet Bella!:lovestruc


I know that as a parent, I would never, ever do anything to hurt one of my children. I have full confidence that God is a million times better than me, and He will never hurt His children, either. Bella's little issue is probably going to be nothing more than a little glitch on the road of life, so to speak. It'll be something that brings a lot of people together in prayer, but it will be such a 'nothing' thing when it is all behind us. It brings us closer to God today, as we anticipate the best but are, of course, braced for anything that might be less than pleasant. These times are hard on us emotionally, but good for us spiritually. If everything always went well, we would lose our faith, hope, trust, and reliance on God. I fully expect to see Bella have to go through a couple of unhappy moments having some tests done and then a few more during and after the surgery, but I think that it is all going to be over very easily and quickly. I truly do believe her doctor would have been much more aggressive about things if he thought there was anything to this. If I am wrong, then I have faith in people smarter than I am who went to medical school to learn to cure almost every ailment that arises these days, and I know they will do that for Bella, should the need arise.

Those of you who are praying people, we do appreciate your prayers as we hope for a quick fix to our sweet little smiling girl. We know that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective. We will gather back later today to let you know what the doctor says.
 

Your pictures are all awesome! I'm so glad you got the great shot of Tiana and Naveen, since I didn't get one. I will say it again, he is just handsome! :)

The video of Brooklynn walking up to Snow White brought tears to my eyes. She was marching up there so bravely and happily, and then she became starstruck and couldn't speak! :laughing: I love that little girl! :lovestruc

I was pretty proud of my parade pictures especially considering Brooklynn was on my lap the whole time and that annoying family that was beside us and in front of you.

I do love the video of Brooklynn walking up to Snow White. It is just so her!
 

Drew's pictures are amazing; he is very talented!

Anxiously awaiting the good news that everything went well with Bella's appointment!

Great update Jill. Your pictures and video are great. It makes passing the time until October when we take Ty for the first time easier.
The girls in this photo crack me up. Brooklynn is thrilled you can tell and Bellarie is like what's he doing?

Love the video of Brooklynn meeting Tiana and Prince Naveen! So cute! Great pictures of the parade too!

Keeping you and Bella in my thoughts and prayers today. MeMom once again your words of wisdom on dead on.
 
I did the same thing with Cake Boss Laura! I thought it was odd that they'd use a kitchen at POFQ since they do not have a table service in the hotel anymore. All of the Cincy area seems to be closed today, except for my hubby's office. He works in car insurance claims so this is like the most important time of year to be staffed. You can imagine how happy it makes the spouses of said people!

Hope you are enjoying the extra time off MeMom!

I am glad I am not the only one playing " Where in Disney are we?" and imagining the last time I was in that spot or adding it to the list for the next time.

Snow days should be lazy and fun days. :)

Drew's pictures are great and I hope he finds great satisfaction from his work. I am sure he will find a job in that field.

As Always, well said and I am thinking of all of you as this "blip" gets all worked out.

I have the honor of serving jury duty today. So I kind of get a snow day too. I get to sit around all day with little interruption and be on my computer. I could not ask for more. Now If I get called in to be on a jury that would just put a kink in my day.:laughing:
 
I'll be thinking of Bella today and praying along with you. :hug:

I admire your faith.

Drew's pics are a wonderful addition to this TR! :thumbsup2

I enjoyed watching the videos of Brooklynn. It will be so special to look back in the years to come at them.

Her smile says it all! She is so thrilled!

Brooklynn and Bella's outfits are so cute. ;)
 
I love the video of Brooklynn marching up to Snow White! That'll be a great memory to show her when she's older.

Good luck to Bella today :goodvibes
 
LOVE the pics of the girls meeting Tiana and Naveen!! My girls cannot WAIT to meet them in May!! :lovestruc And the parade looks like so much fun! I just love that everyone is dressed in their Christmas outfits!!

Very well said MeMom! I'm continuing to pray for Bella! It's times like these that I hold strong to a bible verse that we have made our family verse, Romans 8:28 which says And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. :hug:
 
The videos are just adorable! It's so unbelievable to see how much Brooklynn has grown up -- after thinking of the first photos from when we "met" her. Such an amazing little girl! I love how much she is talking to the characters now!

I am saying a prayer for Bella and your whole family as I type. I'll be stalking here and facebook looking for an update.
 
I LOVE how Brooklynn walked up to Tiana and Naveen with her hands on her hips! That completely cracked me up. Tiana is so pretty -- Naveen is pretty nice looking, too. ;)

I checked the weather for Hartford on Friday -- cold, but lots of sun! It's supposed to snow there today, but luckily it's Connecticut so they're going to be equipped to deal with the snow and we'll be fine to get out then.

We are thinking of you guys and little Bella!
 
Great pictures with Tiana and Naveen! I love how thrilled you all look!!!

Can't wait to head home and watch the videos (I can't play them here at school)!

You got a great close-up of Cinderella in her Christmas dress!!!
 
Aw..our little Bella. :cutie: Of course, I'll be praying/thinking for her. Goodness, that smile alone can make someone's day!

Brookie looks so excited to meet the new Princess! :goodvibes

Hey, they take pics on Space now?!

Haha..okay...you talked me into it- I'll take pics of the food! :flower3:
 
Jill called. It appears that all is well, as far as they can see. They will wait until after Bella's birthday, since she will have to be anesthetized. He doesn't foresee it being anything abnormal. I'll let her give you details when she gets to the computer, but I thought I'd fill in those who were waiting to hear.

I could definitely hear a lilt in Jill's voice that I haven't heard in a few weeks, and that did my heart a world of good! :goodvibes
