Day TWO: Make A Wish

Day TWO: Make a Wish

Today is our first of three at sea days. What is a family to do?

We woke up had breakfast together and then the kids wanted nothing to do with us. They had things to do.
So off Mason and Kendall went to their respective play area’s which left Greg and I on our own.

So while they were playing with Mickey and Goofy we went to the gym. 
Thankfully the gym was huge with a lot of equipment because there was at least 30 people getting their workout on. 
My favorite part of the gym – besides when Greg said done was the view. It was incredible. It was at the very front of the boat. Absolutely breath taking.

From there we sat outside bundled up and enjoyed our coffee and the cool air.

Around lunch time we wrangled up our kids and headed to lunch. When asked what they wanted to do after lunch they naturally yelled “POOL”.

Really? Did they not know how cold it was outside?

This is their trip so if they want to go in the pool. The pool we shall go!
The kids had a blast (the pool is more like a hot tub temperature) and Greg took one for the team and got in (sort of). You see he had on his swim shorts and a sweatshirt (yes in the pool). Me. I was bundled up pool side with a blanket.
The lifeguards looked like they were getting ready to go skiing in Stevens… Hopefully this gives you a visual to the temps we are taking about here…

Every good swimming session needs an appropriate snack afterwards so ice-cream we had!

Tonight was “formal” night. This sounded like WAY to much work so we opted to go see the movie Planes: fire and rescue and have a more casual dinner (like in our sweats).

To finish off the night we went to the show: The Mickey Awards. I wasn't sure if my kids would make it but it captivated them both. This worked perfectly. When we got back to our room they were both out within 5 minutes!

Tomorrow’s agenda is going to be another packed day.
·         - Character breakfast in the morning
·         - Tracy Arms around 12pm
·        -  Kendall's special meet and greet with the princesses.


Thanks for checking in!

10 Years....

Mason, It is amazing how time passes by in the blink of an eye after you have kids…. It seems like just yesterday, yet this week, 10 years have passed since our life was turned upside down. The day our world took a turn we never saw coming. Each year leading up to the anniversary, I get anxious, emotional, sad, scared, and angry. I WISH 10 years later I felt differently. But I don’t. It almost feels just as raw as the day we were told…. This year. I am consciously recognizing what it is… MONDAY FEBRUARY 11 th ,2008. We sat in a room where a Doctor carefully articulated and explained to us about your special heart. There is one detail about this day I have seemed to forget in time. That is the name of the doctor who told us about our fate…. I could describe to you in details about anything else you might want to know, who was there, what we were wearing, what the Doctor himself looked like and the conversation we had. Yet his name, which used to be

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Update 7/1

Mason is out of surgery!! Kelsey and I finally got some good news. Dr. McMullen told us the surgery went as expected with no surprises. He told us Mason's heart is "vigorous" and is doing well. Hearing that word was like music to my ears. We have not been able to see him yet, but we know it will be a tough sight to see. However, we are so thankful that God has kept His hand on our little boy and got him through the first step. The next 24-48 hours will be critical for Mason as he is still at risk for several issues to arise. We will keep you posted on his progress. Praise God for His protection on our son. Greg & Kelsey
