Tomorrow I plan to download all my pictures and still need to look at the PHOTO PASS ones.

hope after the Holiday weekend to get post 1 a go.

Margaret is doing better, still need to take her to the dermotolgist, but she's on some oral steriods and a cream for the excema rash it is healing and she's looking better. The pictures are scary and sad....to be seen.

How could you miss it....crazy how far away it is though

All I can reveal at this moment is yes we know we are going back, when and why.

We've pretty much knew that November of 010 we'd go back and celebrate the little girls' birthdays even last June. This March trip was pure bonus!

So because it's a b-day trip I know the dates. It will be Novemeber 19th (a friday) to November 27th (a saturday) Margaret's b-day is the 20th and Mae's is the 23rd. We'll also be there for Thanksgiving. hoping the school calendar doesn't change too much and we still have a full week off for Thanksgiving Break the kids will only miss 1 day of school (friday) and scary thought the twins will be in 6th grade, and Mae in 2nd....man time will fly and I will feel much older when this one comes around.

so as far as did we book already....or where....well you'll just have to wait for that news to be revealed later in this upcoming TR


sorry

Funny... those are the dates I've had in my head for a possible trip! Alex turns 10 on November 28th 2010. I thought it would be fun to start a trip as a little kid and finish it as a big kid - at least in the eyes of Disney... But I can't commit - then we'd have to take a trip for Zach's 10th birthday and his is in September - not the easiest time to go to Disney...

Were you able to book a bounce-back that far ahead?

 

[AmyMama2AvaNtheo]

ugh, MEAN! I can not wait to hear about the next trip ... hehe
