How many kids do you know pull their own teeth? Dig out their own splinters? I'll raise my hand to both. This honor goes to my child. The tooth fairy is on the verge of bankruptcy. I suppose losing your molars is another right of passage. Enough already. I'm not emotionally capable of handling it.

Happy Birthday - ARIA!

Our one and only angel turned "10" today.
Here she goes, into a life of adolescence and multiple changes.
I pray, each night, that God will see us through what lies ahead and that His guidance is a staple in our lives each and every day. I must take a deep breath and accept the reality of "tween-hood".

Well - our dreams came true. Walt Disney World was a blast!!! Hot, but fun. I walked for miles and miles, and miles, and miles... We visited ALL theme parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot. And, yes, I got on all the rides. Trying to relive my youth was rather comical. The kids, of course, loved all of the BIG rides...Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, The Haunted Mansion, Expedition Everest, Aerosmith's Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, The Hollywood Tower of Terror, Dinosaur, Soarin, Test Track....over, and over, and over. I had to politely decline anything with G-force and spinning. The Star Wars motion ride did me in. Our next Disney adventure will be carefully planned in a much cooler month of the year! Thank you Disney!!!
