Disney PhotoPass Photos

A link to the Disney Photo Pass website with some of our pictures from the trip. These will probably expire soon, but we ordered the CD with all the pictures.

Walt Disney World fun!

We had a great time at Disney World. The boys loved every minute of it, and Beth and I even had fun, although we were definitely exhausted by the end of the trip.

Day 1 was a trip to MGM Studios. Lots of cool stuff there, and the boys enjoyed posing with Herbie.


Much of the rest of the week was spent at the Magic Kingdom. That was definitely the boys favorite part. And of course, that was helped by the fact that they got to see the main mouse himself, Mickey Mouse! Both boys got autographs from Mickey, along with most of the original Disney gang. Even Owen, who is usually pretty shy around characters, ran right up to Mickey to say hello.


Perhaps the favorite ride of trip was the Pirates of Caribbean. Much like my brother and I many years ago, the boys "had to have" flintlock guns. We convinced them to go with newer style plastic ones to avoid pinched fingers in the "old school" guns. The boys also got Mickey Ears with the new fangled twist - a pirate bandana and earring. :-)


After long days at the park, the boys were usually wiped. Owen catches a snooze on Patrick's shoulder this time. Usually, the night ended with us dropping of the stroller, and me lugging two very tired boys out to the Monorail, and then on to the tram.

26 to go....

Well, in case you didn't know, we're diving back into the gene pool, with a due date in May. Given previous history, that has usually meant more like April, but we'll focus on happy and healthy no matter what for now. We're about 14 weeks, so that explains the title of this post.

Below is a link to the peanut from several weeks back. Too early to know if its Mr. or Ms. Peanut, but all is well to this point.

Both of us are excited, but the boys have not totally processed things yet. Patrick has a pretty good idea of what's going on since he's been through it once before, and he's kind of pulling for another brother. Owen waffles, but is mostly in the baby "seester" camp, but he's just excited to about the prospect of a baby.

Anyway, wish Beth luck, as I'm sure she'll need it. :-)
