Time to DOUBLE up!! 2 for 1 Pre-TR!!!!!!! TRIP REPORT HAS STARTED!!!!!!!

[jenseib]

First off! love the dance pictures. She cracks me up. Just like what Claire does in poses. Liek they are pros or something. She is too cute. We don't start back to dance for another few weeks yet.

Money! LOL! And DH. I asked about going or Claire's bday in Dec and he said no. So I decided I'll save up here and there and someday in the furute (probably years) I'll have enough to go at a dream time. LOL!
Agree. If it wasn't for dh we would be going every other month. But he says no for the pocketbooks sake Also how's claire if your claire's mommy. Again too many disers and I don't remember everyone. Sorry. But if so she's adorable. I think Claire and Juliana would be great friends with my dds. They LOVE playing with little kids and watch Mickey mouse clubhouse. the tool guy whatever his name is and little einsteins.

Claire is doing fine. I just posted a little tea party pics we had in my TR the other day. She is growing like a weed. She started back to preschool yesterday. Time sure flies![/QUOTE]

So money is now not the only issue! DH found out yesterday he has o get a hip replacement. It will be done in Oct. most likely. So there goes a heck of alot more money and time for healing. At this point I don't even see us going in march now. It's a bummer, but he will be better in the long run.
Remember how I said in my TR how he could never keep up and was getting mad about it, well he reminded me about it last night and how mean I was to a man who needs a hip replacement! LOL!

Not sure.... maroo seems to think that the BB will be best IF we get FD. If not, we'll most likely do room only and go from there. but she's 99% sure, we'll be eating on Disney's tab. But, we have a surprise for later as well. Again, depends on a second chance BB from her Dec. trip.

Yes, I think we all should be The Resort is Right. That would be interesting.

I could give Dole Whips and Mickey Bars (I totally just typed bras!!! ) to those who guess right, and actually meet up with us. Wouldn' t that be fun!!??

Bounceback IS free dining!

You know what I'm going to say....Juliana looks ADORABLE in her dance outfit. I remember those days!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

Juliana is darling as always. Watch out you may have a super star in the making. Love the tap shoes, are those little pink rhinestone buckles I saw???? I never had tap shoes like that.

Don't know if I've missed anything will have to go back over the last few pages and see if I missed anything, I have not been a good DISer this past week, work and sick-o kids have gotten in my way

 

[that's nice]

Okay, I'll be the first one to say, "Awwww! Too cute!"

I love that one with her cute little belly button peeking through. (The first one). Very sweet! Hopefully, when she's 16 she won't want it pierced!!

Treasure it now, they grow up too fast. Although, it is fun to watch them become more beautiful inside and out as they turn into young women.

It was funny.. You can only see through in the picture! If she ever wanted to pierce hey belly button I think I would need to take a looooooong drive somewhere and let my DW deal with that!!!

I do realize that she is growing up so fast already. Where does the time go?

and I'll be the 2nd! She is so adorable! I hope she enjoys dance classes!

Have you made a decision about December yet?

Thank you!

Melody was talking about either going to Key West or visiting her grandmother (who is in the hospital rite now) if we do take the timeshare. If we do stay in Bradenton, we might take 1-2 days to visit Disney. Everything is still up in the air rite now.

I saw your tea party pics... I don't think I commented on them yet. Claire is too cute!!! You would think they were dancing for years with the poses they do. I guess it is too many dance videos. LOL

Sorry to hear about your DH. I hope everything works out with his hip. Nice of him to let you know you were leaving him behind! LOL

AWWWW thanks! You were a dancer too?

Her tap shoes just have a velcro buckle on them. RHINESTONES... are you trying to give me a heart attack????? I'm already in pain from this!

She swears there are other offers. She attracts them like a bear to honey! I have every confidence that we can get something IN ADDITION to FD!

 

[tinkgurl]

AWWWW thanks! You were a dancer too?

Yep, I was. All the way up until after my Freshman year of high school when I dislocated my knee twice and had to quit.

If there is a deal to be had.. Maroo will find it! LOL

Oh Geez. Sorry to hear that.

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh Geez. Sorry to hear that.

Yeah, it was quite painful and sad for me to have to quit dancing, basketball, and softball. So, I now live the dancing through my sister since she's on the dance team. But, she's a Senior this year, so it'll be her last year.

I can't believe I didn't post this but this month is Juliana's 2 year anniversary of her last chemo. Her last chemo was August 14, 2007. We are having a party next Sunday for her.. (we aren't really telling people that though) After her November Dr.'s appointment, we should be starting her 6 month appointment schedule for 2? years... I think. I feel like every time we are at her doctors they change their minds about her schedule. It is kind of annoying but they are very pleased with how everything is going with her. For the few weeks leading up to her appointment it always gets a little tense in our house. I doubt it will ever be easy. She still fights when they take her blood... I should take video to show her when she is older but they always need an extra pair of hands to hold her.

I know some of you that have been following along for a while know most of this information. We are just excited about her 2 year anniversary.

for Juliana's 2nd anniversary

sorry to give you a slight heart attack with the rhinestone remark, must've been the light reflecting on the buckle. I thought it looked cute.

 

[StefaniLyn]

CONGRATULATIONS! On Juliana's 2 year anniversary! What a great reason for a party!

Bella is the same as Juliana with blood draws. We've had as many as 4 adults holding her down! I don't know how a tiny person can be so strong Have you ever tried EMLA cream with Juliana? It's a topical anesthetic cream that numbs the area where the blood will be drawn. It is applied 1 hour before the draw (we put it on before we get in the car) and tegaderm is put over it to keep it in place. It works wonders. Now when we have blood drawn, Bella only screams and when they put the blue rubber band around her arm but when it comes time for the actual "poke" she hardly feels it and is already calmed down!

Thank you! She is a tad spoiled but she deserves it.

LOL I was only kidding.

We use emla too. We put it on 2-3 areas on her arms incase they need different spots to draw from. I'm not sure that she is actually feeling pain all the time, she just gets herself really worked up. Then it is hard to get her to calm down. Juliana's nurse won't even do the actual stick. When we went to the clinic before her surgery, we had to force 120ccs of fluid down her throat before her CAT scan. Ever since that day, Juliana's nurse can't do anything to 'hurt' her. LOL

Woo Hoo on 2 years!!!!!!!!!

I didn't PM you back but thanks for the GKTW info and info about Noah's paver. I don't think I am going to get Juliana's yet, but it is good to know that option is available. I also will be saving your links.
