Ok....I've put this off far too long....its time for me to begin my pictoral journal of our voyage!!!!

Who better to start off with than the matriarch and patriarch of our group.
This pic sums up all the enthusiasm, the splendor and the magic that Disney weaved through our new family. "We fortunate few...we band of bananas"

Submitted for your approval.

Yum, I think! Bill's makin' spaghetti! We had that last night! You'll have to let us know about that secret ingredient!!!!

Um, that secret ingredient would be a handful of Trey's drunken birthday butt.

Guess I will have to be more careful next time not to get caught on deck 4!!!

Bill,
I will return the favor next trip with my camera, so be careful what you do, I will be watching and waiting

You mean about the numbers. We got there the same time and the only difference was the side we were on. They should distribute the numbers evenly on both sides.

Boy, your trip must have been WONDERFUL if this is still occupying your thoughts.

Good Evening ,
Well I feel like I need another vacation for what I came home too. I wish that I did not come home the cruise!! All I have been doing is running around and it is getting to me. I am doing okay I am just worried about my Mom because she is not handling my grandmother's death to well. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!! DH has been great because I am not good with funnerals so he has been there for me which is helping me!! He is the best !!!
Well Drew is sick and had to get him to the Doctor's today. He has an Ear Infection and his Chest is Congested. Poor Baby !!! Today I finished all the wash from the cruise and downloaded the rest of the pictures from the cruise. So we did not book the reunion cruise yet. We are going to get through this week and then book it. Talk to you tomorrow!!!

Bob: Great group picture!! I should have looked at the camera !!!

Linda: Welcome Back !!!

Mutt: Great Picture of Kathy sleeping

Pat: How is Laura feeling???

Renee: Sorry to hear about your house.

she is actually going to get her own screen name and post to the board. I thought it would never happen. I think she thought I was a little off (well more than I truly am) by posting here for all these years...

Lynn: I hope things get better for you and your family. It's very hard dealing with the loss of a loved one. Tell your mom that prayers are coming her way. I lost my mom about 10 years ago and its a very difficult thing to handle. I still miss her and wish at times I could talk with her again. All I can say is hang in there.

Lynn- Our thoughts and prayers are with you as well. Celebrate the life that she led and the impact that she had on everyone in your family and hold onto that forever.

I have a feeling Bill may join up as well! He's been lurking about on the DIS since we returned!! I know exactly where you're coming from!

I had to post this picture of my girls. This was on formal night when we thought that we'd get the girls in front of the Christmas tree for our Christmas cards. Well Emily fell asleep in the show by 6:30 and thus that plan was thrwarted. I took this in case it was all I could get.

The funny thing is that we dressed them up the next afternoon to try again and Emily had a fit. Worse than I've ever seen before. She just flat out refused to stand in front of the tree with her sister... or anywhere for that matter. I have about 100 beautiful pics of Elizabeth in various poses but Emily is either not in the pic or having a fit like this one. (Note Elizabeth's shoes - we had planned to shoot a close up so I told her crocs were fine...a great look, I think!)

She was a BEAR..but as soon as we returned to the room and changed her she was sweet as pie again. Obviously another control freak in our family..just what we need.

So I'm thinking of using one of these shots just for fun anyway. .but Mina won't let me.

This is my vote for your Xmas cards. How classic is this? "Crocs and Fits, Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra! Love Jeff, Mina, Elizabeth and Emily"

Ah GARSH!! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

 

[disneediva]

Lauri, have I mentioned today that you are GREAT.....

I know Shell and I are wishing we were half as outgoing and vocal as you are


Umm Jeff, I personally would love to recieve that card, we have a special place in our hearts for crocs..

Boy, your trip must have been WONDERFUL if this is still occupying your thoughts.

And you seemed so quiet and reserved on the cruise...

ps - John really misses Patrick...we can't wait until July!

 

[woogal]

DITTO that!

Hey, remember that "Giant Sucking Sound" Ross Perot talked about in '92? It's not NAFTA after all ...

Did I step into a soap opera?

Jeff -- LOVE those pictures!!
