Homeward Bound
A 6:15 wake up call from Mickey started our final morning. Everyone was tired and a bit cranky not wanting vacation to be over or awake. We had assigned breakfast times and locations given to us the night before- Lumiere's at 7:15. We ordered food that was barely touched, said the final goodbyes to our table mates as well as Lucie and Johan our servers, then waited a few (very crowded) minutes in the lobby to debark. Baggage being handled by Disney it was a very simple process, we claimed nothing at customs and a porter took our bags right to the curb. Jonathan brought up the car and we loaded in the 3 children and 3 suitcases and stroller and hit Interstate 10. That was it- the trip was over- 6 months we'd spent counting down the days and planning and researching and saving. I glanced at the backseat to see two sun kissed princesses fast asleep and a wee man with a paci nodding off- it was worth it! We hadn't know what to expect- just a lot of fun and that's what we got! There was something for each of us and we will do this again after baby 4 gets older! It was just as much work as Disney World- we hadn't expected that- but the kids keep you moving and with so many options and things going on there is always something to do! We knew dinner was going to be a challenge with Sam, we knew the Linley would be a little shy and need one on one time, and we knew that Annabelle would want to be going all the time- we were correct -all these things happen- but we were surprised at how much Samuel slept and was so excited to see the characters- not afraid at all, Linley warmed up faster then I'd imagined and never fussed about taking a rest on the looooong days- she kept up with her sister, Annabelle appreciated the one on one time and was pretty understanding of the limits of the little ones- she adjusted and showed maturity being the great big sister that she is! The girls have both told us that they would like to do this again and how much they enjoyed the experience!

Deep in the Heart of Texas
Life is back to normal. Jonathan picked up a new class of 400+ soldier medics yesterday and they started training today- this will be his final class in command- can't believe it! Annabelle headed back to school and came home with a backpack of makeup work. Linley and Sam played all morning in pjs as I did laundry. The dogs were super happy to see us (so much so that I had to clean the carpets). Baby 4 has an ultrasound later this week-hopefully we'll find out the gender and settle the name debate hahahaha!
