oh, mickey, you're so fine!



i cannot believe it is finally here! i first made this vacation reservation in august 2007! so, i've been planning and paying for quite awhile now (sixteen months)! and it's here! we leave tomorrow afternoon! the kids are bouncing off the walls. ian wants to leave N.O.W. addie wants to totally skip school tomorrow (not going to happen). but, if all goes well, we will wake up in "the world" on tuesday! woo hoo!

i am a bit of a disney nut. i'll admit it. my nephew said today that i must really like it. i told him that like was an understatement. something about disney makes me feel nine again! and seeing it through my kids' eyes is just even better. the last time we went, ian had just turned two and addie was almost five. so, they are now two years older and it will be fun to see how their experiences are different. will addie still be afraid of any hint of a villain? will ian pass the height restrictions on more rides (because he IS tall enough, but i hear that the height checkers can be picky)? how many times will i tear up? it really is my happy place.

anyway, in honor of our trip, i'm sharing some two-years-old pictures! the one of ian with lighting mcqueen--that's about as close to pure joy as you'll get. he STILL loves his cars! and addie, she was a ham for the camera even then! this time, she has her own camera, so i will be sharing some of what she captures once we come back! she seems to have already developed a knack for close-ups. i have NO idea where she picked that up! ;)

i hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving! thank you to my clients for the wonderful holiday season! it has been a crazy busy one, but i'm so grateful for every single client, so many of whom have become dear friends!
