Disney Magic Cruise 2009

In January we decided at the last minute to book a Disney Cruise for the family. Better yet, the WHOLE family! So we asked everyone and the takers were the Connecticut Quinns, Ron's mom and her husband Jerry, and Audra's mom Judy and her stepdad, Skip. We sailed for 7 glorious days in the Eastern Caribbean, and visited St. Croix, St. Thomas and Disney's own private out island, Castaway Cay. Disney knows how to throw a party and it was first class the entire way. Lauren and Megan had the absolute time of their lives and have a lifetime of memories to bring home with them. Ron was an Assistant Cruise Director on Premiere's Big Red Boats, and to be a passenger on this ship was an enlightening and uplifting experience. We loved it so much, that we are more than likely going to book again next year, and definitely want to sail on one of the new ships they are starting to build this month in 2011. We have over 900 pictures and over 10 hours of video, all of which we cannot possibly share here. But, you can click here to see a small sampling of pictures from the trip. Enjoy!

The Annual Father-Daughter Dance

In November 2007, the girls pre-school, St. Gregory's, started their annual Father-Daughter Dance.

Daddy took Lauren last year with a Hawaiian Theme (complete with hula instructions), and this year was formal night for Daddy and Megan. It's all about creating great memories!

Lauren & Megan On The "Polar Express"!

We made our annual trip to Essex and rode the "Polar Express" and rode in the Palor Car this past weekend. We had hot chocolate, cookies, Christmas sing-a-long's, games and were paid a visit by Santa and Mrs. Claus after we picked them up at the North Pole. It was an absolute blast and Lauren and Megan had the time of their lives!

Happy Birthday Lauren & Megan!

Lauren and Megan celebrated their 5th and 3rd birthdays together yesterday (Sunday, 04 May). Their wish was for a Princess Tea party with all of their friends, and their wish came true. They each bought a new Princess dress from the Disney Store with some of their birthday money for the occassion which made it a 2-day event. They laughed, they played, they got all dressed up, they played some more, and they slept... hard. We love you little Princesses... Love, Mommy & Daddy.

Easter (April 2007)

It's Easter time, and it's time for a trip in the (not-so) Way Back Machine. Here is Lauren & Megan celebrating Easter in Connecticut... from waking up and getting their baskets from the Easter Bunny, to egg coloring, to the chilly Easter Egg Hunt.

Lauren & Megan The Dancing Cats

Here is Lauren & Megan dancing in their kitty Halloween costumes in October 2007. They loved their costums and had to take them for a "spin" around the family room. This is mobile phone video... so no complaints regarding the quality. :-)

Ron, Audra, Lauren & Megan

Here is Ron, Audra, Lauren & Megan in Milford, CT just off Thompson Hill Road (where Ron's grandparents lived) on the Long Island Sound in October 2007.
