We've Been Busy!

I feel almost ridiculous for posting such a trivial post while there is so much devastation and hurt going on in the world: Haiti. I'm almost embarrassed. But this is for the grandparents. So you don't have to keep reading.

Just a few pictures from our Disney World experience the last few days:

The girls and Sleeping Beauty


Cinderella

We went to Storytime with Belle, and she was hands down the best princess ever. She was so sweet, so kind and actually made you feel like she really wanted to talk to your children. I got all misty-eyed. Weird, I know.

Waiting for the parade! (It had been a long day!!!)

Yesterday we went to Animal Kingdom, it has changed a lot in the last 12 years- we were there on our honeymoon and it had just opened and it was our least favorite park because it had only a few things to do. I think we actually left and ended up at a water park that day.

I'll post some more later. I need to get everyone ready and get our things packed up. We fly back to Dallas tonight. We had a great week last week at a conference with other people who do what we do. :) It was so encouraging and fun. We have also had some great family time in Orlando. We have stayed with some friends of ours and they kept Addison for us while we did all the parks. It was so great to be just us 4 for the day and ride everything together! I could tell the girls were just soaking up Mommy and Daddy time!

I'm able to attend a special conference in Houston this weekend with Beth Moore and I have not let myself get too excited until NOW. I had to get through last week and this week, but now I'm ready! There will be about 500 people there, which is smaller than her normal Living Proof Live conferences, so this should be FUN. Marc and I are driving down there Friday morning and will be back Saturday night. I'm looking forward to some alone time with Marc while we drive! (And I think he's looking forward to some alone time while I'm at the conference, especially after our conference this past week, Disney with us girls and then driving to Houston....I will try to keep my words to a minimal.) Should be fun!

Please keep praying for Haiti.

Mega lush pics!
Belle is soooo the best! I teach my kids that in school when we work on esteem issues and empowering them. My friend always praises the little girls with the words, "What a woman!"

So glad you all have had a great trip.
Enjoy the Beth Moore conference and if you want good Mexican food..find the Los Cucos in The Woodlands!! They have a stuffed avocado!!

Enjoy!

I wish I were going to Houston. I thought about it because I did all the verses but I'm taking my mom to an LPM event in Tampa as an 80th birthday gift. That will be fun too and neither my mom or I have heard her speak live so I'm excited.

Glad you had a great trip to Disney...looks like fun!

Glad to hear things are going well!

We went to the "World" in Jan of 2008, and Animal Kingdom was our fav.!

Can't wait to hear about your adventures...wish I could be with you at the conference in Houston...stuck here though.

We need to find a time in the next month or so for a SKYPE! (Preferably sooner, but I know you are a busy woman!)

I love the pictures. It looks like y'all really had a good time. We can't wait to talk to you and hear all about it, although that might not happen until you get back from Houston.
Love you all!
