Disney

Our 2009 Disney trip won't be one we will soon forget. My Mom and Justin were able to come with us. Justin did great on his first trip flying and Mom did well too after not having flown for 20 or so years. Myself, I'd call a fair weather flyer. I don't necessarily enjoy it, but it's definitely the way to go when you're a long way from home. The ride home was a bit rough but we made it. Ashley was wonderful on both flights only getting ticked once we landed home after midnight and she woke up a crank. She was a really good girl at Disney and just kind of went with the flow, she loved swimming, and is always happy in her stroller. She did get wound up on the bus a couple times and didn't sleep too well in her Pack-N-Play. She ended up in bed with Tommy and I most of the trip but was overall a very good baby. Good thing to because we like to go!

Ashley was a hit. She got all kinds of looks and is quite a conversation piece. She's taken to sticking her tongue out at people while smiling. It cracks me up! She is growing up so fast! She got her first tooth last week and is getting very close to being able to get up and sit on her own. She also did great at her first week of daycare. Such a happy girl. It was so great being at our favorite vacation spot with our sweet little girl! I know Joe loved having a whole week off of work to be with the family. I personally am lucky I get so much time off.

Here are some vacation pics. We had over 200 taken so I tried to whittle it down a bit. Great time!

What a great looking vacation time for you and your family. It truly looked like EVERYONE was having a great time. Did Austin ever take off his ears? even when he went to sleep? Of course, I love Ms. Ashley and her colorful caps.

Thank you girls! There is nothing better than being on vacation and being trapped with your family 24/7. Seriously, I'm not being silly here. It's a nice escape from everyday craziness and just full of good ole togetherness.

Kathryn!!!! Holy smokes!!! Been wondering what was up with you.

Wow it has been a long time away for me and the blog world. Love the pictures. I can't believe how much everyone has grown in such a short time.
