Good for you Bella! Sorry you aren't feeling well. Get better so you can enjoy your new adventures in walking!

 

[jillyb]

Gorgeous nighttime photos at Epcot!

Yay for Bella walking!!! Hope she feels better soon!

 

[punkin413]

jill, you gotta get some video of bella walking and share with us! i'm so excited for her!!!

 

[stace208]

Yay for Bella walking!! Such an exciting time!

Hope she is feeling all better soon.

Enjoy your workday tomorrow MeMom. I hope you get all your work done. We were supposed to have a workday tomorrow but the kids are coming for a make-up day. We still have 3 weeks until Spring break but the kids are acting like ours starts tomorrow too. Gonna be a long few weeks...

I'm heading to a Disney store outlet this weekend so I'll put some pictures up on my PTR next week. I also put one of your favorite Ewar up tonight.

 

[MeMom]

I agree about the fashion "don'ts" I see. People don't realize what putting a white top in water does to it!



Enjoy your break.

It sounds like Bella will be OK soon. Maybe she figures she need to move around to cool off Congrats on her walking!!! Now the chasing begins. Maybe she figures if Margot can do it so can she

I will most assuredly enjoy the break!

Yeah, next time she sees Margot, they'll be scampering around together.

Congrats to Bella for starting to walk. I hope she feels better soon.

I heard her jabbering in the background of the phone last night. She sounded good.

Ohhh loved those night time WS pictures! That Norway one looks like it really could have been taken in the actual country of Norway

So cool that you have been Skyping with Jill and the girls! So high tech, I don't know how to use it

That's as close to Norway as I'll ever get.

Trent hand-held me through it. It's easy. Brooklynn was so funny trying to figure it out.

Ah, there will be no stopping Bella now that she is walking!!! I hope she feels better soon!

She'll be a speed demon very soon!

Walk, Bella, Walk!! Hope the virus goes away quickly!!

I hope she is all better and happy by the time she gets up here. It'll break my heart to see her looking pitiful.

Good for you Bella! Sorry you aren't feeling well. Get better so you can enjoy your new adventures in walking!

It'll be an adventure for everyone around, I am sure.

Gorgeous nighttime photos at Epcot!

Yay for Bella walking!!! Hope she feels better soon!

Thanks. I can't wait to be walking around again in a couple of months.

jill, you gotta get some video of bella walking and share with us! i'm so excited for her!!!

Maybe we can do some tomorrow, if Jill doesn't have time before then.

Yay for Bella walking!! Such an exciting time!

Hope she is feeling all better soon.

Enjoy your workday tomorrow MeMom. I hope you get all your work done. We were supposed to have a workday tomorrow but the kids are coming for a make-up day. We still have 3 weeks until Spring break but the kids are acting like ours starts tomorrow too. Gonna be a long few weeks...

I'm heading to a Disney store outlet this weekend so I'll put some pictures up on my PTR next week. I also put one of your favorite Ewar up tonight.

I plan to work diligently so that I have to do little to nothing school-related on my break.

Yay for Disney Store pictures. I'm going to see Ee-war right now!

Yay for Bella walking! I hope she feels better soon Jill! And as far as Trent's packing skills....sounds like he and Patrick and I are kind of alike....I'm a procrastinator. I make lists so that I don't forget things, but those lists don't get utilized until the last moment....For instance, we have to go home today so that we can leave from my mom's tomorrow to go to the airport....My packing list is made, as is my to do list...but there is only about 1 or 2 things crossed off

 

[moparop]

What a big girl Bella is becoming! I hope she shows that virus who is boss, just like she showed walking!

MomMom enjoy your inservice and I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday! We are headed to Michigan to visit my ILs and attend a wedding with my parents. Because my parents will be 45 minutes from the boys for the first time in 2 months, we are all having brunch together on Sunday morning. It's going to be exhausting but I am looking forward to it!

 

[*dreamit*doit*]

Yay for Bella walking!! There is no stopping her now! Hope she feels better soon!

I'll be thinking about you guys this weekend and hope there are not too many tears but lots of hugs!

We're off to Disney World in about an hour!!!

-MeMom and Jill: If you want some cheering up with pictures from WDW this weekend text me your numbers - I'll PM you with mine now.

MeMom and Jill...you are mentioned in my update for today.

 

[WrightFamily06]

I want an apple covered in chocolate and nuts of any kind, but I have a hard time paying NINE dollars for one, and I believe that's how much they are.

We'll be having a birthday party Easter weekend. The littlest 'rat' will be one!

Chocolate covered apple sounds very yummy , would have to skip the nuts though DD is allergic so I try not to even eat them I agree though nine dollars is way to much , we usually choose the things we can use our snack credits on

Awe I didn't realize Bella's Birthday was Easter weekend, 1st Birthday's are so special !

Love Trent's packing method ! Not ! It would drive me nuts too ! I have to plan everything out and have it super organized all of the time .

Congrats to Bella on making the walking milestone Hope she feels better soon

 

[disneyfan61]

Aw poor Bella is not feeling good. I hope her fever is gone & she feels better soon!! for her walking. I would also LOVE to see a video of her walking. I love the commercial (about a phone) & the mom is video taping her son starting to walk. I love seeing little ones when they are just starting to walk. So cute!!

MeMom great pics of Epcot!! The fireworks pics are great. I always click away trying to at least get a few good pics & sometimes I do. Illuminations-my fav

Bella is still running a slight fever today. It is about 101 which is much better than the 103 it was last night. Today the girls had pictures taken at school. We have a professional photographer that comes in and takes pictures for anyone that has previously signed up. Anyway. There is no sitting fee and if you go to see her in the studio it is a sitting fee of $250 a kid! Plus I get a discount since I am the assistant director. The girls were taking pictures and hamming it up and doing awesome. Bella was doing her Mowgli crawl (up on her hands and toes) across the floor and all of the sudden she stopped and stood up! She has never stood up in the middle of the floor by herself before. Next thing I know she is taking off across the floor toward Brooklynn! There is now photographic eveidence of this "first"! I saw a few of the pictures when they were done and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be broke. I may have to have help deciding once I get my proofs back.

 

[Megablocks]

It must be so cute seeing such a little peanut walking!

MeMom, when we were at Goofy's Candy Co. I saw a couple of the apples being made. They were gigantic! I can't eat raw apples because I have some weird allergic reaction to them, but they look really really good.

Jill, I will be more than happy to help you choose the best pictures!

We made it to the earlier show that night I think. We had time to make it over to the story teller from the UK later that night so I am guessing it was the earlier show.
We stood on the right side of the theater.
What day did you all go to the CP? 30th? I did the pkg on the 28th and it was quite chilly that night. I went to the last show of the evening. I didn't even take many pictures or video cause I was so cold. DH and DS left early cause they were cold. They didn't really want to go anyway. I didn't care that they left. We were on the left side and I don't think it was packed cause of the weather. I thought Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance did a great job. They were cold too, they had on coats and gloves. This was the first CP that I had been too.

Later we discover the smallest bathroom in EPCOT. That trip we encountered the 2 smallest bathrooms in EPCOT. The 2 seater in Japan and the 3 seater in Morrocco.

I also found an itty bitty bathroom across from the CP on the left side of the Americas building, it was like a trailer and I think, it had maybe two stalls. This was on the other side of where the "real " batrooms were. They had set plants up around the area. I thought it was odd since it was so close to the other bathrooms.

I had gotten behind in the last few days, but I'm caught up now. I love the FW photos. I didn't know that people decorated over there. I have one of the Tigger blow ups that was in one of your pictures. I will have to go over there and check it out sometime.
for Trent moving! I was tearing up as I was reading your posts. I liked your party pictures, it looked you had a great time. Maybe you can have a mini party this weekend. I think I read you all aren't going to Memphis.
Go Bella for walking. I hope she feels better soon.
Congrats on your Mother's Day trip. Jill is a sweet girl. I'm going to DW for my Spring Break in two weeks and I can't wait.
I think Skype sounds cool. I've never tried it before. At least you will be able to "see" Trent and the girls more often that way.
Ok, I'm sure I've forgotten to comment on something.

It is great hearing Bella is on the mend. It sounds like Bella already knows how to act for the camera. I look forward to seeing pictures and videos of her first steps.

 

[MeMom]

Your procrastinating time is over, friend. It is time to go!!!

What a big girl Bella is becoming! I hope she shows that virus who is boss, just like she showed walking!

When you say your prayer, whisper for one for Trent's safe travel that day.

Have a great weekend with your family!

I hope you got my number in time. We'll be happy for pictures.

MeMom and Jill...you are mentioned in my update for today.

I will be over there in just a bit. I hope you have a fabulous week between tonight and when we see you next Friday night.

I'd rather have three smaller apples that I could space out over the week. Once you start a big one, you can't keep it long. You have to share or throw away.

Aw poor Bella is not feeling good. I hope her fever is gone & she feels better soon!! for her walking. I would also LOVE to see a video of her walking. I love the commercial (about a phone) & the mom is video taping her son starting to walk. I love seeing little ones when they are just starting to walk. So cute!!

That's what I do, just click, click, click and hope fore the best.

Next thing I know she is taking off across the floor toward Brooklynn! There is now photographic eveidence of this "first"! I saw a few of the pictures when they were done and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be broke. I may have to have help deciding once I get my proofs back.

I know she was a proud little smiley girl when she did that.

It must be so cute seeing such a little peanut walking!

MeMom, when we were at Goofy's Candy Co. I saw a couple of the apples being made. They were gigantic! I can't eat raw apples because I have some weird allergic reaction to them, but they look really really good.

I like looking at all of the goodies in Goofy's. It's an event in itself just going in there.

What a great moment! Go Bella!

I hope she's feeling better soon!

Me, too. I hope she feels good when she gets up here.

Jill, I will be more than happy to help you choose the best pictures!

Me, too. That one and that one and this one and that one....

I was telling a couple of teachers about it today. I will really enjoy Skyping.

Whatever Jill wants to do about Memphis, we'll do. We talked about just going to the Nashville Zoo tomorrow and holding off on that, but whatever she wants to do - I'm just the passenger.

It is great hearing Bella is on the mend. It sounds like Bella already knows how to act for the camera. I look forward to seeing pictures and videos of her first steps.

Last weekend she was crawling toward the steps to downstairs. Hopefully you won't see her first steps walking/tumbling down the steps!

The next morning started with

(and I know you'll all be surprised)


me taking pictures of food and shopping.


Wouldn't you love to own some of these waffle makers?

I need to get in that surplus store they have for CM's where they sell outdated Disney things. I need a POP waffle iron.

For informational purposes - snack credit choices.

Yum.

Did you 'yum', too?

Shopping.

Pop post cards.

Things to wear.

Cleaning and painting.

 

[MeMom]

Good morning, Pop Century.

My window.

Today's park was:

I will rely on my loving daughter for details, but I believe this was the morning they all went to ride Test Track and Bella and I hung out with some ocean creatures.

No surprise again, Trent captured his Bella when the ride was over.

The seagulls were telling him she was mine, mine, mine,

but he took her anyway!

I'll let Jill do pictures and stories of the Test Track adventure.
