Thankful Thursday

It has been a while since I got to do a Thankful Thursday. With the vacation it made it near impossible to get the time to sit down at a computer to write one. But I am thankful for a lot of things today. I am most thankful that the nausea from the pregnancy seems to be dwindling. Also I am thankful that I can feel the baby move a lot more recently. It is such a magical thing to get to that point in the pregnancy. It sort of makes things more real and also every time I feel him/her move I can feel that I already love this little one. I thought at first that this was a boy but recently I have thought it might be a girl and so now I am double confused. We decided to not find out this time since we have one of each - you know play the game. I think it will be fun and even more so that I feel totally at a loss as to what it could be.

Yumm, I am also thankful for the Thai Chicken Noodles I made last night for dinner. Haven't made it in a while and it was gooood - as I speak I am chowing on the leftovers. Yum yum yum yum yum.

I am also thankful for our Disney vacation- I am adding here Round II of pictures and updates on our vacation. One of the days while we were in Florida we went to the Kennedy Space Museum. They had a lot of fun things there including actual space shuttles to look inside of, a really cool 3D IMAX movie and a space take off simulator. We all rode the simulator, Andrew riding it twice. It was amazing how much force you feel when it "takes off." One of the things we did was take a bus tour out to the launch sites. You could see where their upcoming space shuttle launch was preparing to take off here in a few weeks with the Shuttle already in place. The tour led us to the building where they keep the actual Saturn 5 space rocket and all about the moon landing.

The kids loved running into an "actual" spaceman. This guy was dressed up like on and they were eager to take a picture with him.

This is one of many pictures Andrew took of the Saturn 5 rocket. The thing is so huge- maybe you can tell by the size of the people compared to it but really you just never expect it to be so gigantic.
Here is a distance shot of the launch site with a glimpse of the shuttle prepared for take off.

The kids also loved playing with this spinning globe on a water jet of the constellations. They got totally soaked playing though which was alright since it was blisteringly hot there that day.

The kids also posed near this fake spaceman in the space suit. They thought it was so cool to get to look through the glass to see the outfit.

At one of the Disney Parks another day they found a kids play area with water spouts which was a big hit and both kids took full advantage of cooling off in the water and getting totally soaked.

Stay tuned again.... lots more pictures of the fun coming up in future posts. Right now I have two kids driving me crazy trying to sit on my lap or cry on my shoulder and I should stop here before I loose the work Ive done already by the struggling foot of a toddler on the keyboard.
