Christmas Part I

Well folks, it's January 27 and I am just now updating the blog with Christmas pictures. We have been busy. Meredith is taking skating lessons for the second session of the year. She is also in swimming lessons. She loves both! She moved up to the next level in skating but she is the youngest kid in that class. Most of them appear to be in the 4-5 year age category so she lags behind a little bit but she is doing great!

I know I posted pictures from Disney World, but I thought I'd update with some of the pictures from our trip to FL before Christmas. We visited Greg's parents and brother. Meredith was so excited to go an an airplane and get to visit everyone!


She looked at 'baby daddy' in photo albums with Scott.
She hung out with Daddy.
She loved opening presents. She opened up EVERYONE'S presents.
See? She's helping Grandma.
Did you know she loves Hello Kitty? That's probably my fault.

Disney World

I know it's been AGES since I've put anything on the blog. I'm sorry! It has been incredibly busy for me lately. I have been traveling almost every other week up through mid-December. I've had airport headaches galore. I've lost luggage, I've lost carry-ons, I've had cancelled flights, I've tried to make it home through blizzards, I've had misconnects, and heck, I've even been stuck overnight in Detroit due to a misconnect. On a positive note, I'm now an elite status traveler! A low on the totem pole, lowest level elite there is, but I'm elite nonetheless! I've managed to make it to flying first class about 40-50% of the time!

Anyway, we finished up the year with a week down in Florida visiting Rich, Mary, and Scott. I guess we were incredibly lucky with the weather as it was in the 30s and 40s the week prior to going. We had lovely weather with temps in the 60s and 70s for the most part. And then I heard the temps dropped back down to the 50s the week after we went home!

We spent most of our time hanging out but we did spend one day at Disney World. I don't think the place has changed at all in the 20 years since I have been there. It was so crowded, and I don't do well with crowds. I honestly kind of wish we took her to Sea World or Animal Kingdom instead. But we had fun!


The 'classic' Disney World photo everyone has.
The first ride we went on was the carousel.
She loved the Mad Hatters Tea Cups
This is an action shot - making it spin around.

Her favorite ride was the roller coaster in Toon Town.
She got her hair done like Cinderella at the Bibbidi Bobbodi Boutique in Cinderella's Castle.

It was so, so cute!
Ack, my little princess!
This picture does no justice, but the castle was beautiful at night when it was lit up.
In case you're wondering, this is what her hair looked like the next morning!
