Jumping Waves

Where we going?

Lia started this little "cheer" on our way to Disney World. The girls did it back and forth for about 5 minutes! Shut my blog music off before you view it so you can hear it.

Walking with Grandpa after the Tigers game


We had a great time in Florida. Did a lot of visiting, swimming, sunning and relaxing. Unfortunately, Charlie also did a lot of working. He spent a lot of time on the phone and talking with my dad about "Business". I guess that's what happens when you are the President of a company. I am still getting used to it, but the kids and I had a great time anyway. We are glad to be home - we missed Josh. He is still getting used to us being in HIS house but I sense he is also glad that we are home. I just wish the warm weather would have followed us home! Enjoy the pictures.

Leaving for Florida

I'm busy packing and getting ready to go to Florida. We are leaving Saturday afternoon and staying in Lakeland at my parents house until Thursday. While we are at their house we plan to see a Tiger pre-season game, one day at Disney, visit my cousins, and maybe a round of golf. Then on Thursday we will go down to Fort Myers/Sanibel for a conference that Charlie has to attend. We will stay there until Sunday and then return to my parents house until Monday morning when we fly back home. Everyone is going with us except Josh. He is going to Colorado snowboarding for Spring Break in 2 weeks with some friends so we told him he needed to choose which vacation he wanted to go on and wouldn't you know it - the friends won! I am a little sad that he will be all alone in the house for a week and I'm praying the house is still intact when we return. He is a good kid and I'm not worried there will be any wild parties or anything but I have the neighbors watching just in case. I'm sure I'll be posting some cute pictures when we return.

Have a great week everyone!

WISCONSIN DELLS

We had a wonderful weekend of laughter, swimming, games, food and fun with the Freeby's. Our condo was the perfect size for both our families to share, plus Alyssa even brought her friend, Brianna. It was 3 bedrooms, a full size kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a large living room. We arrived on Saturday afternoon and since our condo was ready we all moved in. The girls were so cute. At first they were a little shy but within a few minutes they were giggling, screaming and running all over the place. The rest of the weekend we spent just hanging out and catching up. The older kids had fun as well and really do all get along great, it is great to see their friendship grow. We stayed until late Monday morning and then, sadly, we had to say goodbye. It is getting easier to say "goodbye" because we KNOW we will see each other again soon. We have so much in common with them and have found it so easy to get to know them, we really feel truly blessed that they are our friends.

Our countertops are IN!!

Here are a few before and after pictures of our new countertops. We still have to install the garage door and the faucet, but I am so happy with them.
