Why don't you go ahead and plan your trip on faith that he will be able to travel by the time you go?<br /><br />Speaking of cruising--I do hope it is a Disney Cruise that you are planning!? I've been on many cruises, but the Disney Cruise is absolutely the most kid friendly one there is! Its been four years since we did that one and the kids all talk about it still.<br /><br />Also wanted to comment on your in-laws' traditions. Its heartwarming to read of these as they become so much a part of our lives and memories.<br /><br />When I was a girl, from five o'clock on, all of the ladies in our neighborhood had changed clothes and would be dressed beautifully, waiting hubby's return from his work day...and then families sat down together to eat dinner in the many homes around us. (I have to add that on summer evenings, around 7 pm the kids and the dads gathered at the one vacant lot in our neighborhood and played softball until dark)a portland grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675027205217905283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-23472088631269735562009-06-28T13:23:53.336-05:002009-06-28T13:23:53.336-05:00buca's is the best, but the decor is a little ...buca's is the best, but the decor is a little ecclectic for 4-year-olds. :-)<br /><br />prayers for jim...the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-88170137638767630642009-06-28T09:54:34.746-05:002009-06-28T09:54:34.746-05:00Jim and your mum will be in our prayers tonight.

You'll definitely need a glass of wine after the race today....unless you drink DURING the race while shepharding the kids and the gear. Good luck.

I don't know if they gave him the clot-busting shot, but the chances for a good recovery are excellent.<br /><br />My husband's 3rd stroke in 9/01 hit smack on speech; he does not speak at all nor does he understand. Even so in May 2005 we flew to New Orleans for a wedding. Everything was handicap accessible; there were even modified PT Cruiser taxi cabs that we could wheel his chair into. My friend goes on 2-3 cruises per year and she said that all of the big ships are accessible.Kathy from NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502604640751977016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-84234337313730725312009-06-28T06:16:44.084-05:002009-06-28T06:16:44.084-05:00I hope Jim continues to improve...will say a praye...I hope Jim continues to improve...will say a prayer for him.<br /><br />As far as the 6 year old, I have twin boys who will be 7 in Sept. and I can honestly say it's a VERY easy age. Maybe that 6 year old is just particularly hyper??? I have LOVED the age of 6 and am hoping 7 is as easy. It's my 24 month old daughter who thinks she is an almost 7 year old boy who drives me absolutely bonkers every.single.day!!!<br /><br />Kelly(Houston)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-47829299934021836902009-06-28T05:30:49.501-05:002009-06-28T05:30:49.501-05:00You have the patience of a saint.

They get a peculiar type of wild energy that whips up all those around them, especially younger children. <br /><br />When I take my kids out I try to take them somewhere we can take them for a run in between courses, even if it is just up and down the pavement outside for five minutes.<br /><br />When I was pregnant with my first child a friend who was the proud mother of 4 boys warned me that boys are like puppies and need to be exercised twice a day!<br /><br />I hope Jim has a speedy recovery.Annicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691832473765718313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-63859551238126592862009-06-28T01:22:01.087-05:002009-06-28T01:22:01.087-05:00Of course!
