My Happy Place



















The title is a hint of one of our absolute favorite places to go. We have the Disney park entirely memorized to make for very efficient planning and crowd avoidance. And now that Dalin is a bit taller he'll pretty much be able to go on every ride and Christian and I won't have to take turns sitting out...that's if Dalin can let go of his stubborn side and enjoy the process of doing something new. He is very much a planner! I don't know where he gets it :) My sweet and wonderful, and most amazing parents ( yes I'm buttering them up) will be watching Jin Ji and Sumi for us. This will bring their total dog population to 3, with 2 only being 6 months old. All I can say is I love you both, and will return the favor ANYTIME! The boys will miss some school, but this is also in the planning. This way it's not spring break when EVERYONE goes. I am soooo excited! I have memories of riding on Small World with my parents when I was just 2. I was always fascinated by the dolls. And since then, my memories of that song have been sweet. My dad and I used to listen to my Small World record (yes, I said record to date myself) when The Wizard of Oz was on. I hated the wicked witch of the west and so my dad would take me into the back bedroom and there he and I would sit and listen to it and look and the book it came with over, and over. My cell phone also plays it when you call me. I do love all the rides and just the atmosphere of being at The Happiest Place on Earth, but Small World is my Happy Place.

  1. Dear Lisa Dawn:
    We really appreciate the sweet words and charm, but you and Chris really owe us big time! A new car would be ok!
    (Just kidding!) You guys know we love you and are thrilled that we can be of service.
    By the way, WUXI thinks it's a great idea too! He's already making plans for games with SUMI and JinJi.
    Just make sure you come back!
    Further, we really appreciated your tender reflections on the past with your "Daddy"...It makes him want to cry!
    Love all of you so much....

    MOM and DAD

  2. Do you remember going with us soooo many years ago, and--alas--Small World was closed and you were so heart broken? My worlds are going to be a lot like Disneyland (at least the ones I live on)!
