Time to update the family blog.

Kiri Art Show

Kiri's butterfly mosaic was chosen to be displayed at local school district art show. She doesn't look proud, does she? Congratulations Kiri!

Snow Mountain in ATL

Kiri and I enjoy the fake snow at Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park in early March.

(Is That Really) A Snow Day

Why do southerners take pictures of their homes after a couple of inches of snow accumulate? Weird.

Father & Daughter Dance 2009

I first thought that I would just stand along the wall while Kiri danced with her friends, but I had to show her some moves I learned back in the day at the Love Nolan. Do, do, do, Do the Hustle!

Kiri, Kris & Aunt Kim at Walt Disney World

Kiri shares her memories of her first trip to Walt Disney World in Florida with Kris and Aunt Kim.

Today Mommy, Aunt Kim and I left for Walt Disney World! It rained a lot with big, dark clouds and lightning. Our hotel is cool! My favorite thing is the sea serpent slide in the pool. I got to decorate a Mickey cookie - yum.

First day at Magic Kingdom! WOW! I got to ride Dumbo and meet Ariel. She was so nice - a real princess! We saw beautiful fireworks and a light parade at Cinderella's castle. I rode Pirates of the Carribean twice and played Cogsworth in Belle's Storybook play. A really fun day!

6/27/08
Hollywood Studios today- it looks like a movie everywhere. We saw High School Musical, drew Goofy and rode Toy Story Mania. I was chosen to be the princess in the Beauty and the Beast show - a special rose from Belle! Tonight dinner in a castle with Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Jasmine and Pocahontas - they sent me an invitation!

Today we went on safari at Animal Kingdom. We saw lots of animals - even a lion! Mommy's favorite was a rhino crossing the road and I liked the baby elephant. Kim & Mommy rode a big roller coaster. I met Minnie Mouse - she was soft and giggled. We shared a milkshake for Kim's birthday and later went to Phantasmic. Mickey is a powerful sorcerer in the show and fights all the villians. It rained a little but we stayed dry in our ponchos. Mommy and I swam in the pool today.

Today is our last day so we went back to Magic Kingdom. I got to ride the train and Aladdin's Magic Carpets. It was like flying over Agrabah! Meeting Mickey and Cinderella was so cool - I waited all week to see them. I rode my first roller coaster, Goofy's Barnstormer - it was so great we rode twice! Mommy screamed. There was a parade with all the characters. Tonight we took a boat to Downtown Disney for shopping - the biggest Disney Store anywhere. I got a Disney pony and Minnie T-shirt - also finished my charm bracelet.

This morning we had a huge breakfast at Animal Kingdom lodge. It is a long distance home with more rain. We are sad to leave Walt Disney World but I miss Daddy & Campbell. I can't wait to see them and tell them all about our fun trip.

Happy Happy Easter Time
