Bus and plane pics.

Kids were all smiles getting up very early to go to Disney!! Every morning for a week the first thing Nathan would ask me when he woke up is, "are we going to Disney today?" It was so cute. I was excited for the day to come where I could say yes. Then Ryan got him up that morning, but I caught a picture of his smile!!

 Here is Ellie when I woke her.

Early 7:30am Sunday, Sept. 26th we were at the buses getting on to begin our vacation to Disney World in Florida!!

 We all got special name tags which identified who we were and which bus we were supposed to be traveling on.

 Waiting in line to board our first plane in Moline, IL to fly to Atlanta, Georgia. Ellie has her bag of goodies and games Remax Real Estate Company made for all the kids that were chosen for the trip.

Delayed airplane made us anxious to keep traveling. You can tell Ryan looks like he's just ready to get on with it. 

 On the plane excited to go!!

 I love this picture of Ellie.

I noticed I started this a long time ago so I'll post this and try to get on here to post more pics from our Magical Mix kids trip to Disney a year ago.

Long overdue update

Well I see I haven't posted since August. Ellie had an MRI two weeks ago and it was clear! Praise God for good results!! Next Month we take her to Iowa City for potentially her last eye appointment for a long time.  Since the last time we went they decreased her patching to 3 hours a day. So we have done that for 3 months. Hopefully her eye sight stayed at 20/25 and we can be done patching.  It seems her eye is staying pretty moist itself.  She still gets eye drops every two hours.  The doctors are hoping to be able to reduce that amount also.  Her eye has been looking great! Life seems much more normal finally.  Only doctor's appointments every 3-4 months has been nice.  Ellie's school year has started out great! She's still loving it!

Nathan is good at daycare/preschool also. I joined his class on a fun trip to a pumpkin farm last week. Fun times! He is POTTY TRAINED!! We LOVE IT!! He was ready for sure!!

Ellie's birthday is coming up and she is super excited! Already making lists of adults and kids she wants to invite.  She just can't decide what she wants to do.  Possibly another swim party. She decided to ask for donations for the Ronald McDonald House again this year.

Happy fall everyone!! I give thanks this Thanksgiving for all of you, your support and your prayers. LOVE YOU ALL!!
