So awesome! Great idea on the video TRs. Whatever it takes to allow you enough free time to interact with us, I'm just glad to see you're back!
And I don't blame Q for reacting that way. I'd be freaked out a little bit by this group too.
Thanks Andy! Glad to be back but I feel I won't 'officially' be back until i'm giving you a hard time again
Haha I know, he looks shocked doesn't he!
TK sounds much better all around. Does Calvin like it? My nephew loves goes to school.
Sweet Percy, I can understand why he’s grumpy
most older dogs are like that with puppies.
Your MiL brought 15 pairs of shoes???
We had Aulani booked for last May but had to cancel. Its back on the list, but probably will be a few years before I can go. I’ll get there one day.
Calvin LOVES school, which is amazing. Q on the other hand, acts like he's dying when I drop him off at nursery at church
There may be with issues with him, I think lol.
YES SHE DID! We had to stick some of her shoes in Dan's luggage
I think she said she only ended up using maybe 4 pairs of them! Thank goodness there's not much shopping at Aulani, she wouldn't have had any room!
So glad to see you're back! I did watch the first part of the video, but since my DIS time right now is severely limited I don't often watch videos. 1) because I'm usually on my phone and somewhere that I can't turn up the volume. 2) I read TRs in a piecemeal format usually from my phone. I might get through the first part of the update while I'm waiting in a Doctor's office, I may read the middle in a parking lot before I go into the grocery store, and the last while I'm by myself in a private room at home.
There are dozens of other places that I catch up, while the conductor is working with another section in band, at long stoplights when I'm driving, but you get the point....
It's not just your videos, but most of the time when someone posts them I skip them over (unless they are required for a contest...) I understand how it could be easier, and if that's how you choose to do your updates, I will try to find times when Fran isn't with me that I can go over your TRs. She also does not approve of my DIS time, so I have to sneak it in while she is asleep. I've even learned to write my TRs in Google docs and I edit and upload the photos when I'm on the computer and she is asleep or out of the room. Then I can write the TR from my phone or the computer! I hope at some point things get less crazy, but for right now my time is super limited, so I've developed these coping mechanisms so I don't have to drop off the DIS. Even now I'm still falling miserable behind. I watched the video shortly after you published it and this is the first time that I've been on my computer (and coherent) to give you a reply!
Looking forward to hearing more about your trips and if you're coming to DL anytime soon, I would love to meet up!
Yay Alison!
Both you and I totally get each other right now then
For me, I hate reading anything from my phone, but I have DIS'ed from the phone before. It's just not the same for me, but totally understand why people would have/want to. I love seeing pics/videos on the 'big' screen.
Ugh, I don't even know when our next DL trip will be
I'm hoping next Spring? We have a couple trips (family and medical) going on after we return from WDW so we'll just have to see!
The kids are getting so big! Aulani looks amazing....I need to get there some of these days!
Jill in CO
Oh Jill, you must! It's so relaxing and it's not far from other fun things to do and see!
Really enjoyed your video! Such a beautiful place. I've been reading your TR's since you took your first DS to WDW as a newborn. Glad to see you back!
Aw thank you so much and thanks for the welcome!
Sweet video, Alicia. Finally had time to sit and watch it.
I WILL get to Aulani someday!
Vannelope looks like a super sweet doggy for your little family. Pretty dog!
Thank you L! You really, really do! I totally get the hype now. Absolutely beautiful!
She is a crazy dog that's for sure!
Are the fires anywhere near you? Are you guys ok?
The really big fires are a ways from us in Napa and Santa Rosa (4 hours North) but a few weeks ago, there were some fires about 1 hour East of us. My Brother, who lives about 4 miles from us, was able to see them from just outside his house
Thanks for asking about us
Hi Alicia! It's been way too long for me getting caught up here. I started re-reading from the beginning since I couldn't remember where I left off! Thanks for sharing your Aulani video. Makes me contemplate using our points there sometime in the not too long future.
I hope all is well.
At least we get to 'see' each other on FB! Your hubby's a hoot, BTW! You MUST go and try the spa! We had two massages during our 6 day stay!
Loved the video! So glad to see you back...I too am in the boat of starting a TR I haven't finished haha
Dontcha love how busy life gets in the way of more important things, like DIS'ing?
I hope your health is doing better - I miss our little group!
I miss us four girls and our antics
We still have our FHC though. And our insanely, obnoxious, but awesome tagging on John Stamos' IG!
Gah, we are such pervs and creepers
