So Big!

Baby Lainey learned how to go from sitting to standing on the cruise.
Today she decided walking would be fun.
So so cute!

Disney Trip, part 2

We only had one day to spend at Walt Disney World.
The parks are really amazing -- I think you could spend 3 or 4 days in each of them.

Out of all the cool rides the carousel was one of their favorites.
Both kids could ride it and the line was short so they probably went on this 4 times.
Lainey threw a big fit every time we took her off of the horse.

Obligatory photo with Mickey and Minnie.
We tried to take one of just the kids but they both were crying hysterically!

The Airplane Train
Victor somehow convinced me to let my motion sick prone
2 year to ride a real roller coaster.
He seemed excited about it while in line and rode without any tears
but when we asked if he wanted to do it again he very firmly said, "NO!"

Can you spot Erik and Victor in both of the roller coaster photos?

Race Cars
This was Erik (and my) favorite ride.
It was quite cool -- Erik was actually able to steer the car himself while
I controlled the gas pedal. The car drove along a medal track so it could only go three or four feet in either direction but the drove pretty fast.
Erik was in heaven!
It was very cute.

At the end of the day we had 2 really hot, sticky, exhausted but happy kids!

Disney Trip, part 1

We really had a wonderful time on vacation. We flew to Orlando early Saturday, May 1st. We left DC at 7:30 am and were exploring the Magic Kingdom by noon.

It has been 20 years since Victor or I have been there so we were quite impressed at how much there is to do. Lots of things for big and little kids.

Both Erik and Lainey seemed to enjoy it. Here are some photos....
Big boy!
This was the first time he had his own seat on the airplane without a carseat!

Cute baby girl spent time flirting with whoever would look at her.

The first day of vacation we traveled on many forms of transportation.
Car, plane, van, mega bus, train, boat.
Erik may have found this more exciting than the Magic Kingdom!

More to come soon!

Prayer Request...

Yesterday, I woke up with really blurry vision. I figured it was from the scopolamine patch so I removed it. My vision was back to normal about 6 hours later.

After my vision improved I started feeling incredibly nauseated and "dizzy" (nothing is spinning but my balance is off and I feel like the room is tilting back and forth). This has continued for 24+ hours now. I have done some research and believe that I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms from removing the scopolamine patch. As far as I can tell there is nothing I can do about it. I think it will resolve on it's own but I am hoping it is quick!
