We are so grateful that this man is our Dad and husband. Life wouldn't be the same without him. Thanks for allowing us to celebrate this Father's Day with you.
Over the last several days we had the wonderful opportunity to spend some precious time with my baby sister and her 7 week old, Finn. The kids feel in love with him, as did Jason and I. He smelled so good, snuggled, and looked adorable the entire time. Seeing and holding him make me very excited to meet our little one.
They left on Friday evening after many tears were shed and plans for another trip home were made.
Along with getting to visit with her I was able to spend a lot of time with Erica and her kids. This was also saddened by the fact that they soon will be moving to the Pacific Northwest in less than a month. What a sad day this will be for my kids who are watching the only cousins they have around move so far from them.
Life truly is an up and down roller coaster ride when you are the one who seems to be watching from the sidelines. We will be cherishing the time we have with them and then will be eager for their return trips.
While spending time with my sisters and their kids we celebrated my Mom's birthday and Father's Day (forgot to take pictures). Happy Birthday Mom!
We tagged along with Jason's parents down to their condo on Ft. Myers Beach for a couple of days following the end of school for him and Priss. The kids loved the ocean, which was a bit shocking since last time they really didn't want much to do with it. They loved running out into the Gulf into the waves. Priss once again loved shelling but Swee preferred to chase people down the beach to throw sand on them, mostly Grandma Pat was the target. From Ft. Myers Beach we went to Orlando to stay at one of our timeshares. The kids love the pool at the Orlando condo since it has 3 slides, a volcano and waterfall. While in Orlando we took them to Disney again as promised. Both loved meeting the characters and having their pictures taken with them. Swee and Priss loved riding Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. I got to be the photographer since it was not endorsed by Disney or my doctors that I ride either one. The weather was a little less than favorable but we made the most of it. We ate when it was raining and rode indoor rides. On Friday Priss had an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for her makeover. She was selected to be the princess that received her makeover in the large picture window of the store. Her costume this time was Tinkerbell from the Fairies movie, we haven't seen the movie but I believe that is what it was from.
We are home and blogging will commence once again...I need to download my pictures and this should occur sometime within the week! No promises! We didn't have a computer on vacation after all so that explains that lack of updates while we were gone.
