I smile everytime I read your post. Does your face hurt yet from all
that grinning?

Don't you just hate those women who are in labor for a half hour?
They're the same ones who potty train their kids in a day.

Congratulations! My first two grandchildren, who are almost 8, are an
indirect result of WDW!

No but my eyes are tired from all the crying! (Tears of joy, of
course!)

Well don't leave us in suspenders. Don't you want to expand on that?

I think I have mentioned it here before, but...

In 2000, my wife and I made reservations for December at BWV, and
invited our two sons and their wives. Within a few months, we learned
that that had made them so happy that both DILs were expecting!

They would not be allowed to fly, so we changed our plans to Amtrak and
had three sleeper compartments from New York to Kissimmee. This is the
way I would travel each time, if I could afford it.

At Whispering Canyon, they anounced a game for all the dads. I got up,
but my sons stayed seated; the CM looked at my DILs and made the sons
join in too.

There were a few rides my DILs could not go on, but otherwise we had a
great time.

For several years we told the first two grandkids that they had already
been to WDW.
