Back to life

We got home late last night. Now back to normal, but our normal right now kind of blows!
It consists of dropping daddy off at the airport today, to go back to California. Not knowing when he will come home again, because we can't afford to fly him home anymore. I did get in touch with an advocate with the IRS, because I'm done playing games. From what I've heard, the advocates get your paperwork moved to the front, so hopefully we have our money in the next couple weeks.
Which reminds me, has anyone actually used the advertising on their blogs, and does it even bring any money in?

Before I get to vacation pics, because I have over 700 to sort through! I'm going to start with our very special visit today.
Sarah and Joyce were in town, and we met up with them for lunch! How nice to meet them in person! I still remember when Sarah first left a comment on my blog, and I was like, who is this person. When I read her profile, I saw that she was a 19 year old with Down syndrome. That was my first real experience with an adult with DS that had their own blog!




Our trip was so much fun! It really is a pain to fly with Jaxson, and I probably won't do it again unless I have to. Getting through security wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. They didn't scrutinize any of my meds or liquids, on either flight. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing! They let us on the airplane first, but they don't give us enough time to get settled, so people are walking past us while we are trying to get all of our equipment put away.
It started off rocky. There was supposed to be someone waiting for us from GKTW, but we got off the plane so late, that they left us. We called the number, and the lady said he was in baggage claim. When we got to baggage claim, he had left us again! Hello, don't you know that most people with Make a Wish are going to have handicap kids that take time! So we had to find our way to the rental car alone. No biggy.
Give Kids the World (GKTW) is so amazing! It looks like who-ville, from the grinch. Brightly colored villas, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen! An amazing pool, and ice cream anytime you want it. I think I ate ice cream more this week than in all of last year! We had frequent visits from little lizards and racoons. It was hot, but I loved working on my tan. It was a real shocker going from 80's to 40's. Brrrrr!
Like I said, I have a ton of pictures, but here's a few to start.
Our beautiful villa!


Our first day was Jax main part of his wish, to meet his beloved Buzz Lightyear at Hollywood Studios. We thought we were going to miss it, because we didn't get a regulator for our oxygen tanks, so we were stuck at the villa. We were late, but we grabbed a cast member, and they let us in the back door, stopped the line, and took us right to him.
Jax smiles were priceless!



This picture is my favorite out of the whole trip. Jax smile, have you ever seen him so alert? And his eyes looking for Buzz! Where did he go?
