The Happiest Place on Earth

Yesterday was incredible. Our children (and my niece Alyssa) thought we were headed to the Kennedy Space Center! Never did they seem excited about the idea, but of course had no say in the matter! So, they loaded up in the car for the ride and put on the sitcom Reba on the portable DVD player and literally watched it the whole way. When we finally arrived to the entrance of the Disney highways, I asked them to look up and read the signs. First, the girls were confused, then shocked, then screamed. The whole family had an awesome day. We met princesses, Minnie Mouse, etc, and road the tea cups, Dumbo, It's a Small World and so on. We arrived at the park at 10:30 A.M. and did not leave until Tinkerbell flew from the Cinderella's castle and watched the final parade of the day. It was 12:15 when we left...almost FOURTEEN hours later (about the length of our drive to Florida). We will post pictures when we get home (forgot the cords for the camera). Greg and I can't explain the excitement of the girls. It was more than we had expected...it truly is the happiest place on Earth!!! Today we are headed to the beach...it is beautiful outside today!

Fifteen Hours Later

We ARE in Florida..after fifteen hours of traveling our first stop was the beach. Faith would not believe we were in Florida until she saw the beach! The sun had already set, but we didn't care. We took off our shoes and socks and walked on the sand. The tide was coming in so the water frequently brushed up against our feet. It was cold but we didn't care. The fresh breeze was so refreshing after the long ride.
We pulled out of our drive at 4:09 this morning. Faith was ready to color and to watch tv, but we talked her into sleeping for a little bit. The girls were great for most of the ride..they had a couple of moments but who wouldn't be cramped in the back of a car?!
We never paid more than $3.11 for gas, and at one point was able to get 29 miles to the gallon. We actually paid less than we expected to get down here...that rarely happens.
The weather is suppose to be cold tomorrow. Tonight is so suppose to set a record low...freezing! The high tomorrow 58! I thought we left that kind of weather; however, the rest of the week is suppose to be in the 80s.
Until next time...

GIDDY!!!!!!

We are getting GIDDY here at the Delancy house...excited about our trip to Florida. We are leaving Monday morning at 4A.M. Greg is driving which means the girls and I will be fast asleep for the first several hours of our trip. I have most of the packing finished!!! Saturday we are having Easter at my mom's house. Grandpa and Butch are coming in today for the Easter weekend. Then, Sunday off we go to Mt. Vernon to celebrate Easter at Tiffany's house. I am working on making Jaycee a purse for Easter. Wow...how creative I have become. I posted the front and backsides of the sundress I made for Alicynn and the little top I made for Faith. Earlier this week, as a family, we made Alicynn's First Communion Banner. The girls painted the letters to our last name while Greg painted the grapes and cut out the cross. I worked on the chalice and the gluing. Alicynn was excited to paint the bread and draw the cross on it. We had fun doing it. It was good we were off on Wednesday because the girls didn't get to bed until 9:30...two hours past their bed time.

To all Have a very HAPPY and BLESSED Easter!

Here goes nothing!!!

I guess this is my official first blog. Life is good. Can't wait to get to Florida! I hope to golf at least once. Maybe I will catch up on some football studying! Only 5 months left until the season starts. (But who's counting?) I know this is the most interesting blog you have read! I will talk to you all soon! Greg ( The Head of the Delancy House) Hee Hee Hee!!!

Oh Rainy Day!

Wow...it is raining today! Yesterday afternoon was beautiful, so I took the girls outside for a quick pic in the matching green and white shirts. (They dearly love when I put matching clothes on them...well Faith actually does like it...Alicynn not so much.) This morning it was pouring when I woke up it was pouring outside. Today would have been a great day to spleep in. Faith really didn't want to wake up. She wanted me to come and pick her up later for school.

Great news...I have now finished a sundress for both Alicynn and Faith and a cute little tank top for Faith in sewing class. Sewing is awesome. I really enjoy it--it is a great stress reliever. Jamie and I last night were the only two students in class which was great. Basically, we had paid a group rate for individual lessons last night...I could go for that every night!

Something New!

Here I go...jumping on the bandwagon. Many of my friends (many who are probably reading) have started to blog. Perhaps this will be easier way for me to keep friends and family posted. Greg, the girls, and I are constantly on the go. I do not know how are children stay so sane with our crazy lifestyle. The girls are getting so big! Alicynn is eight years old. We are getting excited about her First Communion at the end of April. Her dress and shoes have been purchased! We are just waiting on the dress to come in. Faith is five and very animated. The girls are fun and you never know what to expect out of them (but definately have learned to fight with each other). Greg, the girls and I are counting down for Monday. We are headed to Florida for spring break to visit Tina, Evan and baby Alex!
