Off to Disney

We're leaving tomorrow for Joseph's Make-a-Wish trip to Disney World and the kids are very excited. Joseph keeps saying he's going to see Mickey Mouse even though I don't think he has ever watched a Mickey cartoon. Holly has been asking for days when we were going on an airplane. So we'll be back next Friday with lots of pictures and videos.

Here are a few pictures from the past weekend when cousin WK came to keep us company during mommmy's birthday trip. My sister bought a bunch of dress up clothes at a garage sale and they were all princess costumes, but they told Joseph that his Snow White top was a king's costume and called him Sir White. Of course they didn't tell Daddy that he was wearing princess clothes until it was too late. But we got some good pics from it.

OK, in my defense, it was not my idea to dress Joe as a princess. It was his - he was just trying to have fun like the girls! But we did tell him he was in the "Sir White" costume.

Have fun in Disney World. Hope you see many princesses.

Love it! You'll have to tell us how it goes and what's it's like for kids Joe and Holly's age. Praying for a safe and eventless journey and an awesome time at Disney!!!

We enjoyed the pictures and thought Joseph's "king" outfit was great! Emmy was very interested in who everybody was and what they were wearing, as a connoisseur of princesses. Hope you had a great time with the girls at the beach, Gill, and glad everybody was in one piece upon your return. Have an amazing time at Disney!

So excited to see such pretty and handsome prince and princesses. We are waiting to hear how the week as Disney goes, we pray for it to be a success! The Magic Kingdom, but not the ultimate Kingdom.
Love and blessings,

Just wanted to let you guys know that Team Joseph has raised the second largest amount of money (out of 21 teams) for the Birmingham Relay For Life! Over $1300!

Our hope is that the money raised will aid in research for treatment and a cure of this aggresive cancer.

Also, we wanted you to know that there are now people all over Birmingham walking around carrying tote bags with Joe's blog address on them. We hope that will result in lots of prayers for your sweet boy.

We have several extra bags that we will send to Nashville, so you can give them to family and friends there. If you have a second, send me an address to mail them to.

We are thinking about and praying for you all the time.

Enjoy Disney!

Love,
Erin and Dave
