Florida - A week in review

We had a great time in Florida. Rented a house with a heated pool. You wouldn't believe it - but it was actually less money to rent a big house than to stay at the hotel where Jim's conference was being held. (Go figure.)
The first few days while Jim was at the conference, the girls and I basically hung out at the house and played in the pool. Edit that. Lolo and I played in the pool. Norah played in a little playpen that her Gramma brought and/or was in a swing (also courtesy of Gramma Peg). On tuesday, we headed to Disney with TourGuide Scott and his gang of Disney Olympians....Let's just say we would not have seen half of what we did without them. A different park every day and a very organized plan of attack for each park. Scott and Patty's kids outlasted us every day. Shameful, I know.
All in all, it was a big week. Lolo got to meet Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto, and most importantly, Tigger. Her favorite show was the Lion King (which was my favorite show too). The Playhouse Disney show was the runner up favorite (mostly because Pooh, Piglet and Tigger made an appearance). And her favorite ride was the Small World ride. Norah stayed at home with Gramma Peg and PopPaul the first three days and joined us at Disney MGM the last day. She did surprisingly well....sleeping through most, crying only towards the end of the day at a show which had loud, angry voices.
Other milestones for us....Lolo has given up her afternoon nap. She now goes to bed between 5-6pm. Norah now naps on a fairly regular schedule and is sleeping more thoroughout the day....and she's much happier for it. Norah took her first airplane ride and did as well as could be expected. Florida did wonders for us.
Sorry about the lack of pictures. It's a major letdown being without a card reader. I'll try to see if I can scam Jim's laptop sometime later this week when he's not working on it (he's got a big presentation this week that he's been working on).
