If all goes according to plan (when does it?) we'll be adding to our childhood essentials list with a Disneyland vacation (stopping first at my grandparents' home) in the next couple days. Posting will be sporadic, but I'm sure that pictures will be burning a hole in my proverbial pocket and won't wait until we get home to share with you.
Maybe a few of you would be willing to pray for us. I'm feeling much better, but not 100%. I'll post more about that when we get home. My sister, Shannon, is traveling with us to help with the boys, and I am extremely thankful for her willingness to come along for the ride. We are driving at night. A 13 (or more) hour car ride with 3 little boys isn't going to be a cake walk, but I'm sure we'll survive.
Oh, maybe I should mention that our truck broke down yesterday and was towed to the shop this morning. Would you mind praying that it will be simple (and inexpensive, ha!) to fix and ready for us to head out tomorrow evening? It died on me twice while I was driving home from an appointment yesterday. I'm grateful that it started back up both times so that I could make it home. (It didn't start that evening when we were going to drive it to the shop.) I'm grateful that it didn't die on us in the middle of the night, hours and hours away from our destination, at the beginning of our vacation.
Have a terrific week, friends!
Disneyland??? How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHave a magical time!

Have fun chica!! Soak it up!!
ReplyDeletehopefully it's just the line to your fuel pump... sounds eerily familiar ;) not too painful on the pocket book. Praying for the fix, peace, health and fun!
ReplyDeleteOoooh - an E ticket! That's a blast to the past. I'll be praying for your safe travels and good health for you all AND your car!
ReplyDeleteYour in our prayers. It's funny actually it isn't funny how our car always seems to know when a big trip is coming.
ReplyDeleteMay the boys sleep all the way there!
Have a wonderful trip! That is such an amazing place!!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you are feeling better and also that you will have help, what a blessing! It's also great that you can travel at night. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of and praying for you all. Have a wonderful time! Shannon is a gem!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful week. You're going to one of my favorite places on earth! where we all are children again.
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, a trip to Disneyland. Your sister is an angel to come with you.
You and your precious family will be in my prayers. Hoping and praying all goes well with your car as well.
Wishing you a safe, peaceful trip. I can't wait to see your pictures and hear all about your adventures. Your boys are going to absolutely love it - it will be a much cherished and memorable holiday.
I linked back to your childhood essentials list. Just beautiful. It was such a pleasure to read again. I soaked it all up and loved it.
Lots of love
Elise.
Hope you have a wonderful trip! Will pray that your health is good and your truck runs fine:)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time. The pics will be worth the wait. :)
ReplyDeleteYou ladies are the best!
ReplyDeleteThe truck is repaired (wahoo!) to the tune of $900 (whaaaa!). Leif came down with a cold today (of course), so I am praying like crazy that it isn't a bad one and no one else manages to get it (not likely).
Have a great time. Shannon is the best! I'm sure she'll enjoy it as much as the rest of you. Disneyland...what a great place to take 3 little boys...
ReplyDeleteI've said a prayer for you.
(I'm a friend of Shannon's)
Good luck!! I hope everyone is feeling better.
