July

July, July, how we loved you so! We started out the month with 4th of July activities, hosted Maddie for a week while the girls did Zoo Camp, went to "God's Country", and ended with some fun STL activities, including going to Soulard and playing Legos!

Friday at Disney

We started our last day at Disney in the Animal Kingdom having breakfast with Donald Duck, or as Adam calls him "Donald THE Duck." Adam was super excited because not only was Donald at breakfast, but so was Daisy!

After breakfast, we spent some time going on Expedition Everest (over and over again!) while Ninny Cindy took Adam over to the Dino area.

We ended the day in the Magic Kingdom and saw not one, but TWO awesome parades and nighttime fireworks. What a magical way to end our trip with great seats for fireworks and the parade!

Thursday at Disney!

Thursday at Disney started off with Paul, Adam, Emily, Uncle Jeff and I at Hollywood Studios so Adam could battle Darth Vader. Mom and Dad enjoyed some time at Epcot where we met up with them for lunch and a few rides and attractions. We had dinner at Chef Mickey's, which was conveniently located in our hotel. Aunt Shawn joined us at Chef Mickeys. Ironically, she had been in St. Louis all week for work, while we were in her hometown of Orlando visiting the Mouse!

NEED. MORE. BLOGGING.

I have a confesssion, I miss blogging. I truly do. There are so many things I want to share with people, but life is BUSY!

So today, I start blogging again. I know that most of those that read this blog see us on Facebook. But I like the though of sharing here again and less there. Not sure why, but I would rather share more of my family life here where less can see. Not that we hide our blog, but honestly, less people look here than there.

So, I'm going to take a week, day, or month and just jump in.

i see that Paul was posting picture from our Disney trip back in January and got as far as Wednesday. So, I'm going to do Thursday and move on from there.

So, welcome back to reading our blog. I hope you have missed it as much as I've missed keeping it up! I love reading blogs and when my favorite blogs aren't updated, it irritates me. So, I'm sure there are some of you out there irritated that we don't update, so we, or I should say - I - am going to try and change that!
