Brown Derby Dinner

Some pictures from dinner. We split the Cobb salad, chicken and dessert.

Our first full day was packed! We went to the Magic Kingdom this morning, visited Bobby & Annelle and swam in their pool this afternoon, then went to Hollywood Studios for dinner. Finally we played mini golf at Fantasia Gardens with Bobby & Annelle and I came in second! (Bobby won)

Tomorrow we'll take it easier. I'm tired!

Arrival at Animal Kingdom Lodge

We made it to Disney World! It was a smooth and uneventful trip. Here are some pictures from our room. We have a Minnie towel on the bed and a good view of the animals from our balcony.

Aug 25 Baby Shower

We had a baby shower in Houston last Saturday! I only have a few pictures that I took with my camera before we got started right now but thought I would post them. Thanks so much to Mandy and Ralph for throwing us this shower in Houston for all our friends here! Also a big thanks to Amanda & John for the awesome games and their help too! And let's not forget all the cooking that future "Grammie" did! I think everyone had a great time!

Here is the beautiful cake

"It's a girl" M&Ms

Cupcakes too for the chocolate lovers

Can you guess who these are for?

Tomorrow we are leaving for our last pre-baby vacation to Disney World! 

I'll try to post some pictures of our fun.

A few baby room updates

Today we hung a few things on the wall in the nursery. Here are some pictures.

I got the other valance and put up the small shelves from Mandy. I'll be swapping out the Pooh & Eeyore beanie babies with the seasons.  :)

We also put up the mirror (thanks Mandy!), the 3 round Pooh wall hangings that came with the sheets, the diaper stacker and a hand drawn Pooh & friends artwork we bought in Disney World back in 2006.

Here is a picture of the new fan we put up last week - I didn't get a picture last time. Eeyore is there to help me reach the light chain!

I think I will be fighting the puppies for this chair in the future...they don't seem very impressed with all of the changes.

Nursery taking shape

It's been so long since we posted here but we'll try to put more regular updates from now on. Here are some pictures of the baby's room from all the work we did this weekend. The room was painted, carpet cleaned, furniture put together and arranged, fan replaced, and curtain rod installed!!

Snacks in Germany

We had a sweet snack at the new "Karamel" shop in Germany.

And, we did rent bikes at Wilderness Lodge after lunch, despite the cold. It warmed up a little so it turned out to be a beautiful day.
