Day One ... Disney bound

Today we traveled through Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and finally South Carolina.

We put on about 800+ miles.

We traveled for about 16 hours.

Finally took up rest in Orangeburg, SC.

Today we are headed through Savannah bound for Disney!

Kids have been fantastic and I haven't had to drive 1 mile yet.

The Power of Prayer ... as said by Will

Will has developed a true anxiety of storms. He knows all about weather and wants to be a weatherman someday. Not sure how if we don't get over the storm issues.

Last night we were at the Brewer game when a bad storm came.

Will: I think I need to pray.

Me: OK.

Will: Mommy you do it.

Me: No you do it.

Will: Dear God, Storms really scare me. They are junk. Could you please stop the wind, the rain and the thunder and lightning? Then I will be brave again. Amen.

Me: Nice job Will. Now we have to wait and see what happens. (In my mind I was thinking while watching the game, but he wanted us to sit right by those windows and watch.)

Just like that the wind subsided, the thunder and lighting was more quiet, and the rain was settling down.

Will: Mom that's the power of prayer.

Me: Yes Will it sure is!

Happy 6th Birthday Reagan!

Over time it is funny to see how God creates the right person for your family. I think Reagan was definitely created for our family. He challenges us, makes us laugh, savors the small things, acts bigger than his britches, and has a lot of love deep in his heart.
We celebrated his birthday the way he wanted ... a trip to Toys R Us in lieu of a party with his friends.
Morning golf lesson at The Bog. Little foggy!
He picked out a new DSiXL and with it go the CARS 2 game and new case.
Brewer Game ... 4th level ... lots of storms but we made it to the 6th inning. The kids were beat and birthday boy fell asleep on the way home!
