The Many Adventures of Bridgie the Boo Wish Trip -GKTW 6/27-7/3/11 PTR

Thursday last week arrived and the postal lady brought 2 envelopes and a package to our door.

The first gift was from miprender! It was a seven dwarfs Disney gift card!!! Bridgie was so elated when I told her she could use it to buy herself something special at Disney that she was jumping up and down! :yay: It was so kind of you and I just love the 7 dwarfs card. Thanks miprender ! :thanks:

Glad to hear Bridget is doing better!

Yay for the Big Give:banana::woohoo: Those ladies NEVER disappoint!!!
 
Friday arrived and there was one more awesome package to end a week of special deliveries every day. It wasn't a Big Give, but so much fun I had to share it!

The big Disney box contained our Rainbow Connection shirts. It was from our wish trip organization. There was one for each of us and a folder with all our information in it. It also had a check to cover our hotel accomodations on the way down and back, as well gas and other expenses.

:banana::dance3::cheer2:

:thanks: Rainbow Connection for making all this possible for Bridget and our whole family!!!

What an awesome package! The shirts are so cute! I love the rainbow, it is so cheerful!
 

okay I am all caught up Love all the gives and those Rainbow Shirts are awesome
 
Love the package the Rainbow Connection goodies came in! Can't wait to see more. :cool1:
 
I just wanted to stop in and say "hi". :)

Please forgive me for not checking in sooner... I didn't realize you had a TR until just now. :confused3 So, I'll go back and read.

You all must be getting so excited for your trip!!! Everyone looked so elated to get their Rainbow Connection shirts.

I just have to also say, that Bridgie's story really touched me in a personal way... My mom was diagnosed with mumps encephalitis when she was 12, and my little brother is hydrocephalic, after seeing thier struggles my entire life - I just have to say that you have one special little girl and family there. :lovestruc

D~
 
Love the Rainbow Connection shirts!!! Wasn't that the name of a Kermit the Frog song?????;)
 
We are a “little” stressed out this week here. There seems like an endless list of things to do. I know it will get done, but my goal is to be a “nice” mom through all of it. I hate being a grumpy nag. If the test were today, I might fail. There’s plenty of time to redeem myself, but also plenty of time for the dwarfs to get themselves in trouble! We’ll see.

I think the dwarfs have everything they need. (I’ve been corrected multiple times by my family that dwarfs is spelled dwarves ha!ha!. I know, I tell them, but not in the Disney dictionary  )We still need some new shoes that I need to get this weekend so they can break them in before Disney. I did a major shopping spree because everyone needed a few things and I always buy new socks for vacation. I know they match, they are clean and that everyone has what they need. By the time, our next vacation rolls around, they usually need new socks anyway, so it works out. I had the big 30% coupon at Kohl’s so it motivated me to inventory and do my shopping early. There are piles of clothes filling up my dining room table.
The Big Give has brought so much fun into the mix! As I posted yesterday, we have had some major deliveries of Big Give gifts. I am sure the postal lady is wondering what is going on with all this “Mickey Mail”

We received a very special gift for Bridget and Nora early in the week. It was from the L family (I didn't see a disname) . They sent beautiful Daisy and Pluto shirts in a safari them for the girls with matching ribbons. So adorable. They just love them!!! Perfect for a day at the Animal Kingdom!!!

:thanks: Thank you so much. Look how sweet they look in these. BTW, Nora had just had a big red popsicle. :laughing:

M (no disname) and her kids sent the little ones a special fun gift for in the car. Her kids helped her make these neat I-spy bags for Bridget, Jack and Nora. They are just so cute and I have never seen anything like it before. So clever! The bags are nicely stashed away until trip time. I can't wait until it is my turn to play I spy if they let me! Check out the neat cards that are attached and have a pocket for storage. :thanks: to all three of you. I just love that the kids got to help!

I have much more to catch up on, but the hour is late. Thank you to all who have sent these special gifts. Each one is so thoughtful and just perfect for our family or the individual they are meant for. Until tomorrow....
 
Loving all that mail--t-shirts, i-spy bags, gift cards, the adorable tops that Nora and Bridget were wearing....such fun!

How do you find time to get a sock shopping spree in with so many dwarfs around? ;)
 
The girs looked super adorable in those tops!!!!

My neices and nephews have eye spy bags like that that I made them - they LOVE them, in fact, the older siblings snatch them and play a round or 2!!! I hope it helps to pass time in the car!!:thumbsup2
 
happy to hear Bridgie is feeling better!


love all your new BG gifts! what fun you all will have on your trip!!
 
I just want to say Grrrr....and sorry for the Big Give delays. One of the dwarfs, who shall be nameless, deleted my prepared post complete with about 5 picture links when I was answering the phone or some other random emergency. :mad: I will be back when the steam isn't coming out of my ears anymore :laughing:

:lmao: I try to avoid it! I actually had to make 3 trips to Kohls because I would never take all 7 at once!!!

Special thanks to you, Wendy, for bringing the Big Give to our door. It is so kind of you to help coordinate this for Bridget and our family. We are truly grateful. :thanks:
 
Sorry so big on the photo I can't figure out how to make this one smaller.

It was a great week for Bridget. She seems to be feeling a little better than last weekend so that is great news. Her counts right now are awesome. She has a very exciting outing tomorrow to the zoo to meet the new baby zebra. Bridget adores zebras and a friend of dh’s has connections at the zoo. I don’t know exactly what this will be, but it sounds like she will get to see a little more than just a zoo visitor. She is so excited! Here is the image Amy (disname m I c k e y ) made me on the creative disigners forum. She is so talented.

Bridget’s physical therapist was able to find a wheelchair for us to borrow for the summer and beyond. Another family had donated it back to them. It is a really nice reclining chair with a sun canopy. We are renting at Disney, but it will be great for tomorrow. Bridget can walk and even run a little. She just fatigues easy and has the seizure issue. Her PT was also able to find some financial assistance for purchasing her special needs trike this week. We will pay a portion, but it is great to get some relief. The doctor thought we would try it on our insurance, but Bridget really needs it for the summer. She bikes a mile every week at clinic, but would love to do more. From what I understand insurance route could take forever and it would probably be declined, so this was just awesome news. I just love our PT!!!

The Big Give brought so much fun to our house last week. I literally couldn’t get out the door the other day. It has been incredible. Thank you so much to all the big givers. You are such a kind, generous and thoughtful bunch. I am doing my best to catch up. I’m getting faster at doing this, but it still takes me a long time to actually get it posted without losing it once. :rotfl:

MPhalens made Jack the cutest shorts. They are Toy Story and Mickey shorts. So cute!!! He loves both of them and tried them on right away!!! The activity books with magic pens for Nora, Bridget and Jack are great too. They already packed them!

Jack was so excited to have something special addressed just to him!!!

We had just returned from the BLASTnb fundraiser for neuroblastoma research and Rainbow Connection. It was started by the family of one of our chemo friends. Nora as you can see enjoyed some face paint!

:thanks: Thank you Mphalens and family for making Jack feel so special!!!
Much more tomorrow after we meet baby Jimmy the zebra!
 
Yay! I'm so glad the shorts fit!!!! My older DS helped design them and we loved seeing the pictures of Jack and Jack & his sisters!

We hope you have a wonderful time at the zoo and of course, a wonderful, magical trip to WDW!!!!!

Oh! DS1 wants me to tell you that we just went to the zoo in Rhode Island the other day and saw lots of zebras, but no baby zebras, so he thinks it's very cool that you get to meet the baby zebra!!!! :thumbsup2
 
love the shorts for Jack!

have a wonderful time at the zoo! what a great outing for Bridgie to enjoy!!!

that's so great you have a PT who comes through for you and finds the stuff Bridgie needs to help her get stronger!
 
The shorts look great! I love the pictures of the kids with the things they've gotten in the Big Give. I am sure that meeting the baby zebra is going to be very cool!
 
Loving all the new posts. I really love those AK tops and the mickey shorts.:goodvibes
