When Alyssa was Tinker Bell, Kevin dressed up like John and I was Wendy.
Denise and John wore our costumes last year...I can ask her if she still has them if you are interested.
Look how little she was!
And don't worry, Kevin had shorts on under his nightgown.
Kevin is in touch with his feminine side...he does hair now.
That was a bow from one of Matthew's birthday presents.
Matthew is finally growing some hair. Please excuse his messy face...this was a post-breakfast picture.
Here are the slideshows I did of Lucy's 1st and 2nd months...
When and Where? Truthfully it is unlikely that we'd be able to come. We have another 3 week Disney trip planned. As far as I know we are free in 2009 though
We'd like to go west, any DDA meets for 2009 out west? Isn't Hawaii out west?
but watch out, someone may come looking for you to make sure you're okay!
I wish you all would get your tickers back! Since your siggys look so different I can't tell who anyone is!
I got Leighanna's Chef Mickey dress done today!
One more outfit done for our trip!
Still have a couple of more to get done!
Where oh where is my ticker?!
I really need to see how close I am getting!
Maria. I'm Stephanie, the oldest regular poster by 10 days.
A big welcome to Maria and Heather - 2 new posters in 2 days!
I'm Lindsay, married to my DH, Jonathan, and just moved into the next decade of my life (30)! I play a legal recruiter during the daylight hours, and a Disney freak the rest of the time.
No children as of yet, but we do have a Maltese named Ally, and 4 nieces and a nephew, all under the age of 5. I grew up going to WDW every couple of years, as my grandparents lived close by, and now that I make my own money and vacation plans, the obsession has grown. Fortunately, DH loves Disney too (though not quite as much), so he gets to go along, have the time of his life, and then blame it on me when everyone asks "you're going again??"
Jump right in, and get to know us. Many of us aren't designers (just big fans of it all!), and we have a great little family here.
Well since everyone else is.
Welcome again Maria and Heather.
I am Heidi, 40 and married to John for 21 years, no children. I am a homemaker.
I am a complete Disney addict and luckily to have a hubby who is too (just not as much as me).
Maria, this is the best group of people around!
Although I haven't posted on the weight loss thread, I have vowed to take better care of myself. After looking through last years Disney pics, I came to the realization that I need to get busy. I definitely want to be around to see Leighanna grow up, and I want to feel better too.
Elin, Glynis, Becky, Deb, and the others have proved to me that it can be done!
Here are a couple of pictures.
Last year at Port Orleans Riverside:
This year in Baltimore after I have lost about 40 lbs. :
Not a drastic change, but still noticeable to my coworkers and family.
I have since lost another 7 lbs. since Baltimore, and am trying for a few more before Disney!
I vow not to cringe at any more pictures of me in my Happy Place!
This is the one time that enabling didn't cost me any money!
Ok, I promised first day of school photos. Well, here they are in all their glory!
Katie wearing the special "friendship necklace" made by her best friend.
Jacob always has to wear Spiderman on the first day. I think it gives him courage.
Leslie strikes a "sassy" pose.
Mary. Notice the closed mouth smile, just like Jacob. Guess who she wants to be when she grows up?
The twins together. Can you guess which is the girly-girl and which is the tomboy?
Here they come home from the first day of kindergarten. They love the bus!
I ran to Walmart and picked up more spray paint. I'm hoping to get the deck dining table painted tomorrow then all the furniture will be complete. I also want to get the rail done and maybe the stairs too. Hopefully we'll be able to have a BBQ on Monday and enjoy all of our hard work.
Maria, everyone here is very understanding. Just keep up the best you can. You won't get shunned if you disappear for a few days (or weeks, in my case
Sorry I can't help you Jen...I've never been to those places, let alone a cruise.
I'm seeking reviews too:
Can anyone tell me about of Disney on Ice, Princess Classics? Do a lot of girls dress up?
And speaking of princesses, I had bought 6-7 costumes on clearance after last Halloween for Alyssa to play dress-up. Of course, she still doesn't dress herself daily, so I've never given them to her, but I decided to try a few on her this morning to get some ideas for Halloween. I bought the XS size, which is a 4-5, and the Mulan and Jasmine costumes were huge, but the Belle dress fits her nicely. She wouldn't take it off! So, I think she's going to be Belle for Halloween, and we're going to make some make-shift costumes to accompany her (me = Featherduster, Kevin = Lumiere, and Matthew = Cogsworth).
Please send me some virtual craftiness DDA!
I don't want to buy any wellness products. I don't want to sell them, either. I am happy that she has found another source of income, but I really don't want to get involved. She was a travel agent before she got into non-profit so I thought maybe she had gotten back into that. That I could have handled. She adores Disney and used to go every year, so we always have great Disney chats. It's the sales pitch I am dreading.
