Update 2-
Fever is still 101.9... Surgery is cancelled...

Surgery Update-
Emma is scheduled to have her surgery this wed. Unfortunately, we have both caught horrible colds, which means, unless her fever is down by the morning- we will have reschedule. If you have some prayers to spare, we'd appreciate them!

Hey- Look what Emma did all on her own!!! Not bad for a 3 and half year old we think. :)

We had to say good -bye to Oma Inge, who flew back to Germany yesterday. Thanks for coming and we will see you soon!!

A few last random Disney shots...

One last pose at the airport with Snow White before heading back to our snowy white (and very cold!) home state

Day 6 of our trip took us back to Animal Kingdom
It was a lot colder this time around!! And this time we were joined by Sue. Due to an unfortunately pool injury, Grandpa Grumpy had to stay home. We are happy to report Grandpa Grumpy has fully recovered. :)

Character Greetings at Animal Kingdom

Day 5 Magic Kingdom with Grandma Sandy
Another day of fun!

Happy New Year!!
We rang in the new year playing pool, swimming and watch the fireworks from all 3 parks from our patio. It was amazing. :)

Day Four MGM Studios
It was a very lucky day for us all. In addition to the park being relatively empty when we arrived, Mama, Alex and Laura were awarded with Disney Dream Fastpasses while riding the tower of terror. They were even nice enough to give Emma and Papa one since they were waiting outside. Emma was also given a crown from "Auntie Rosie" while waiting for Papa during his ride. Timing seemed to click all day long, whether it was to be assigned to the front seats of the roller coaster twice or getting waved ahead of the fastpass lines because of numbers clicked with what they needed. It was a great way to end 2007.

Day 3- Epcot Center
Character greetings! Emma loved meeting the characters, especially Princess Aurora!!
