So much has happened and if you can't tell I have been hit the the "Busy Mommy Syndrome". =P Between playing and reading to Miss K, cleaning house while she naps, scrap booking, and reading- I have not had time to be on the Internet much. I jump on every other day to see what's going on in the world with my peeps on FB, and check my email which always contains over 130 junk emails. I have started to use the Filter function, so that should be easing up.
So.. As a family we all experienced our first trip to Disney World. Chris was going for work, and I decided on the Friday before the Sunday that he was leaving that hmm.. yeah we want to go too. Chris used his miles to pay for most of the flight, hotel was paid for, rental car was paid for, and to put the icing on the top of the cake - My grandma is friends with a lady who is retired from Disney and she hooked us up with 2 free Park-Hopper passes. We spent all morning at Magic Kingdom, taking in the Welcome show on the train and participating in the whole 1000+ person race to get in the gates. =) Katelyn's first park ride ever was It's A Small World. She loved it. She loved all the rides we took her on with the exception of the very short Aliens skit on "Journey Through the Movies" at Hollywood Studios.We left the Magic Kingdom park for lunch and naps. Then we went to Hollywood Studios, and from there we took the Ferry to Epcot. We grabbed some sandwiches from a French Bakery, along with Apple Turnovers and Strawberry Tarts... and WOWZA - They were delicious! We caught the amazing Firework show before ending a "very magical day".
Katelyn and I stood outside at the hotel and watched the fireworks at Magic Kingdom twice, since they were going off right next door, and Chris was working. =)
Now we're home. Katelyn has been rolling over at night when we have her in disposables for sleeping, and now she is strong enough to roll over and over and over in the cloth diapers. I thought maybe we were hindering her development by having her in the cloth since she couldn't roll as well in them, but she has been rolling anywhere and everywhere today, and when in the disposables, she is practically jumping when she goes to roll. No more leaving her to nap on the couch while I go clean the kitchen anymore... she is a girl on the move.
Chris and I worked hard in the yard this weekend and it looks great. A great head start. I got all my old planters painted. They look brand-spanking new now! I painted them Crimson Red. We also took a pie down to the new neighbors a few houses down. We prayed for a younger couple with a baby - and we got...a younger couple with an 11 month old boy. Katelyn got her Passport photos taken, and $220 later, she's good to travel outside the U.S.A.
Now, I've got to finish this book - so I can start the Alex Cross series again. Casi gave me that itch! Thanks Casi - This is an 18 books series, it'll take me forever.
