Time's running out!

I just realized today, with a little bit of surprise, that there are only FIVE paydays left until Annie is due! We get paid every two weeks, so that's 10 weeks! Yikes... time is flying by in these last days, and I have so much to do. Where does the time go?

Disneyland with Grandma and Grandpa

I should have put this post in between Easter and Morgan, but I just now remembered all the great pictures I got. We took Barry's mom and stepdad to Disneyland a few weeks back for Barry's birthday weekend. We stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel, right by Downtown Disney and had the best time I've ever had there. We had lunch the first day at the Blue Bayou, the fancy restaurant that overlooks the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Then we had breakfast the next day with Minnie and Friends... that was the best part of the whole trip. We saw so many characters in a short amount of time and they all came to US!!! We took some great pictures and it was so worth the extra money for the buffet. We will definitely do that again. We also got a lot of Fast Passes to the rides so we didn't have to wait as long and we all had a great time.

The $4000 Smile

Okay, it was really only $3800 and our insurance paid for half of it, but here it is!

Fischer finally got his braces off today after 2 1/2 years. I remember the day I got mine off like it was yesterday, so I warned him about the smooth, slimy feeling and that the inside of his mouth will wonder what happened with all the metal gone. Sure enough, he says, "It feels like I don't have teeth!" :) His orthodontist gave him a mug "full of all the candy he wasn't supposed to have while he had braces, but that he probably did anyway", LOL. Isn't that a cute idea? He's so excited to have them off. Just wait until Thursday night when he gets his retainer...

A Wonderful Time With Morgan

Barry and I flew to Florida last weekend for a quick trip to visit Morgan. We spent all day Saturday together: we weathered a horrible storm in the morning, spent a few hours at Mote Aquarium in Sarasota, FL., went to lunch at McDonald's, got a pedicure (just me and Morgan and it was Morgan's 1st!), saw Up in 3-d, had dinner at Cracker Barrel where we taught Morgan to play Chinese and regular checkers, then we had to take Morgan back late at night before we drove to Tampa to catch our plane. It was a fun day, but much too short. Morgan is a delightful 7 year old, full of life and love. We really enjoyed our time together. We can't wait to see her again later this year for a full week and with the rest of our family.
