The staff at Bill’s clinic decided everyone should dress up for Halloween a la Despicable Me. They cast Bill as Gru, the other doc as Dr. Nefario and everyone else as minions. Bill found the perfect costume in Orlando. I have to admit, it was so clever to see the entire staff dressed in the […]
The rising blue in our barometric swan’s neck is foreboding. Tomorrow is Halloween and severe storms are predicted. In some areas, trick or treating has been moved to Friday night. I know, I know. Back in the day, we trick or treated come rain or come shine. There was no rain date for Halloween. My, […]
This is the reason why we do not leave until the last day of the AAP Convention. Our family loves the Pediatric Bowl. Pediatric residents from three local programs compete in medical Jeopardy. The set up is elaborate and the competition is humorously fierce. This year’s contestants… The Bowl gathers quite an audience because the […]
Sh…Don’t tell Mickey that we ditched him today. He might not approve of our Universal plan to visit our friend, Harry Potter. Our first stop in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was Hogwarts with Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. We were not allowed to carry anything on this ride—they provided lockers—so the photos […]
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning to take a cab ride to Mass. We went to the Mary, Queen of the Universe which wasn’t too far off the Disney compound. I was surprised that Disney did not have a universal place of worship or specifically a Catholic chapel with all of the people who […]
Today was the opening day for the AAP convention. Bill left early morning for his conferences and the boys and I headed to Blizzard Beach, a Disney water park. We didn’t take a lot of pictures at Blizzard Beach because cameras and water don’t mix well. Here are a few highlights of the day. We […]
We arrived at Magic Kingdom nearly at opening to take full advantage of our time there and as directed, we spent the day making memories and reliving them. Flashback to 2009 when we were last here! The sun was so bright but I wanted to recapture the boys in this exact spot. They have grown […]
We flew from Nashville to Orlando yesterday and boarded the Disney Magical Express to our hotel. Unlike last time when the boys were absolutely oblivious, this time they were highly energetic and full of smiles. We checked into the Disney Beach Club Resort and tried to settle down quickly. We had big plans to start […]
How could we pass up the opportunity to join the American Academy of Pediatrics in creating magical moments when we were pictured on the actual brochure for the conference? Orlando, here we come!
Mason is not the only one who will miss a scout meeting due to our trip. Walker’s den is going to learn all about starting a fire and fire safety. Bill wanted to cook outdoors again so he took advantage of that opportunity to teach Walker the points in the scout handbook. The two of […]
