I will have to wait to get the DVD and then see if I can find a way to upload a piece of it. She was in over 10 dances!

Also, don't remember if I commented before or not, but Emily looks so much older with the braces off! Hope the shows go well!

thanks! We can't wait to get our hands on Maggie!!! And yes, I agree, that Emily looks older..........shhhh!!!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes for the show!!! It was exhausting BUT so much fun!!! The company girls did great - all the other dancers did great as well, and of course the littlest ones were entertaining as heck!!! Let me tell you, sitting with some of those 3 yr olds......they are a riot!!! I heard so much TMI from them - and the innocense of that age! Sigh..........it flies by too quickly!!!

Yucky part though...........Emily was having issues with her ankle all weekend and just kept trudging through, not telling anyone it was bothering her and this am it was quite swollen, so Scott brought her to the doctor.........and she has a good sprain She is being quite brave - and has to do auditions for the company again this Wednesday and of course I am SUPER concerned about it - but she told me she will suck it up and do it. Oy vie...........the life of a dancer!!! I am making her keep it wrapped/iced/advil steady until then and we will see what happens!!!

Onto the PTR.............we are 29 days away!!!!!!!!!! Received an email that our magic bands are on their way!!!! Very exciting!!! I am going to go on and order our Memory Maker and get that linked. And now that the dance performance is over and I have some time in the evenings now I can start plowing through my "to-do" list!!! I am going to look over the packing lists again and tweek those a bit I think , and finish up my "need to try, need to do at Disney" list! And hopefully get all caught up here on the boards!!!

for that ankle sprain. I've had a sprained ankle and it is no fun at all! I hope she's Ok.

Thanks Cheryl - just called home to check on her and Scott said she is resting it and sound asleep!

Glad the dancers did well this weekend. Poor Em, though. Hope her ankle is feeling better soon!!

Can't believe your trip is less than a month away!! It will be here before you know it!

Thanks!!! She did very well considering the amount of pain she must have been feeling - she even does pointe.....can't even imagine!
I know.....4 weeks from now!!!!

[Cam22]

for Emily's sprained ankle! Your trip is getting so close!

[JKnott17]

So glad that the recital went well this weekend! Emily looked beautiful. She's such a trooper, dancing on a sprained ankle. that it heals quickly! Your trip is getting so close!!

[disneydreamer33]

for Em's ankle. Lauren had been out of dance since the end of December due to a tiny fracture (they thought) She twisted it coming down on it at basketball practice and it was right on her growth plate so they treated it like a fracture and we had just went back the first of April. Her company audition was May 3rd. They took all the girls out first to show the judges the dance before each group auditioned. Lauren twisted that same ankle while doing the dance. She came back in tears and in a lot of pain. I wasn't sure if we should just go ahead and bow out and leave or what. She ended up going ahead and auditioning. The owner saw her and talked with us and I think after her audition (her group was last) let the judges know what had happened. Lauren just knew that she didn't make it. She was really upset about it. Well, when the results came, she had made it. I told her that Miss Chris (the owner) and her actual teacher (who was a judge) knew what she was capable of and didn't hold it against her. I was so happy for her. I was concerned but happy she pushed through. I don't want her to permanently injure herself, but I didn't want her to just give up either, she wanted it so badly.
Good luck to Emily!!!

How did I miss this?! I guess I better get back onto my TR so you can read more about 1 bedrooms at Kidani ooops! You have so much fun stuff to look forward to and some tasty meals ahead. I didn't read through all the comments, but I did want to mention the boat to GF is faster than the monorail for your time crunch to get to dinner after your FP+. It stops at the GF and then the Poly, so you aren't going around the whole loop like the monorail! So excited to hear about Narcooses and Flying Fish as I've heard such great things about both! And of course, I'm ready to see all your wonderful animal pics!

I was able to get the puppy and braces updates from facebook, Em's smile looks wonderful! Now just gotta get her ankle back up to par!

Pixies for Emily!

Thanks! It's so hard when they want something so bad and you know they can do it!

[disneydreamer33]

CONGRATULATIONS TO EMILY!!!!! So happy for her!!!

I wonder why you didn't your AP sliders with your magic bands??? That's not fair!!!
Whew!! That's a long list girl!!!

[xwewhisper]

Congrats to Emily! You have a long list ahead. Why the switch to a Mac? I don't think I could handle the change. My roommate had one in college and I literally couldn't function on her computer....
