Holy Cow, Denise!!!!! You and John look AMAZING!!!!!! You must feel so incredible!!!! Way to go!

Denise...you and John look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Practically skinny!!!

This is our update: The 1st photo is from June, the next 2 are from last night. I can see a big difference in Bill's face. But, we still have a long way to go!!

Kristine - you both look so great! Congratulations!

Theresa......I think that is wonderful. If you don't mind I would like to add to your prayer request list.......or.......maybe God knew that I was needing some prayers and this helped me open up.

I had posted a few months ago for Denise to post a prayer request for my family. Well........older son and his wife are having problems again. He will probably be here later today to move in. I am hoping they will start some counseling this week and pull it back together. They have two adorable little boy......Jake 3 and Noah 5 months.

Thanks

Your family will definitely be in my prayers, Lynn!

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a good couple of days. Prayers and for all of you that need it.

Denise and Kristine - you both look amazing and the difference is quite noticable. Bill and John look great too! I'm so jealous of you all for the will power that you have shown. I wish I could do that!

Also Denise, your room looks great. I bet you and your students are going to have a wonderful year.

Jennifer I hope you are feeling better.

Dawn - It was great to have a report from you. I can't wait to see more pictures of Caroline and I continue to pray for her improvement.

Paula - I hope you, Mark and the girls are having some much deserved family time!

I know there were other things that I wanted to mention, but I'm going off of memory and I'm sorry if I've forgotten you.

Lynn -- I hope they try the counseling. That is so sad for all of them... and you.

Hi, Tammi! How's your weekend? Got any fun plans for Labor Day?

My weekend was good. The kids were with their day for 3 days and I missed them terribly, but they were so excited to see me when they got home. I got a big running hug from Nicholas, which put me on ! While they were gone I went to see POTC 2. I was worried that it was going to be gone from the theater before I got a chance to see it. It wasn't quite as good as the first, but hey, I got my Johnny Depp fix!

Tomorrow I think we will take it easy since Nicholas starts school on Tuesday. Maybe we will go to the pool one last time.

I hope you have a great day tomorrow! One last dip sounds great! Glad you got to see Johnny before the movie went away!

Thanks, Glynis. What are you all doing tomorrow? Anything special?

 

[Glynis]

Well, it's about time for Family Movie Night. Even though Alan is gone until tomorrow, we're going to watch a movie together. Tonight's movie is "Little Red Riding Hood." I haven't seen it, but the librarian recommended it. It's a modern take on the fairy tale. I'll let y'all know how it is.

I've made an apple cobbler that I'm hoping tastes good. It's a new recipe. We'll see. If it's good, I'll add it to my web page. Yes, I'm still working on it. I can't believe how many recipes I have! It's going to take some time. But it will get done!

Anyhoo! I'll be back on after the movie and the kids are down for the night. See ya later!

Here is a quick sneak peak of our first day at Disney. We spent the whole day at AK and then headed to MGM for a few hours (and Fantasmic!) in the rain. Unfortunately, my final set of camera batteries died before we made it to MGM. In all, there are 159 photos from Day 1.

We're FINALLY here!!!

DeVine walked right in front of us!

As you all know, when we leave WDW in December we are planning to drive to Savannah to spend a few days. Bob and I decided today that we are going to stop in St. Augustine for a night between the two places.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the Hilton Historic Bayfront Inn there? http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/...MHO0QLZPA4CSGBIU222QKIYFC3UUC?ctyhocn=USTHDHF It really looks very interesting. We are just hoping it is in a good part of town that is easily accessible for walking around the historic district. How long should we plan to tour St. Augustine? A couple of hours or half a day?

As for Savannah... we finally picked a hotel to stay in for that portion of the trip too. It is The Mulberry Inn. http://www.savannahhotel.com/ They have a King Suite that ought to be perfect for the four of us and the location looks good here too. Anyone know anything about it? Good or bad!?!

Denise & Kristine...You & your husbands look great!!!

Lynn,

You can see the kids' shirts fairly well in this one:

Festival of the Lion King (no flash):

My "honorary bugs"

We met Rafiki, but we didn't have our autograph stuff with us...

Miles finished all of the Kidcot activities. This is the last stop where he took a pledge to be a friend to animals. This was actually the highlight of his day! This CM was wonderful, and she really made a big deal out of our shirts.

Your first group of pictures is just super, Beth! Thanks for posting them.

Elin, sorry that I can't help you out, but those places look terrific! You are going to have a wonderful trip!
