Catching Up

It has been busy crazy around here.

My first week home was full. The Saturday right after I came home, we all went shopping. Since having 4 kids usually only Gabe or I go and the other stays home with the kids, it's just easier this way. But I missed them and didn't want to be away from them so we all went. It went pretty smoothly, it helps that the kids are older now. We were told at least 4 times that we have a beautiful family...now what mom doesn't just love to hear that :)
Later that day we took the kids to the splash park and Sunday we went swimming at mom's house. The rest of the week was full of our normal routine.

Last weekend was really busy. Gabe and I went on a date Friday night. We saw "The Happening". We both liked it, even though it really disturbed me, I shuddered the whole way home.

Saturday was the Square Flare. The clinic had booth so I was there, helping pass out popsicles.
That evening I went to Jada's Body Shop party...I love those things!! It appeals to my girly nature.

Sunday Gabe left to go to Ohio for the week. He has a training course for work that he has to attend.

Monday, Sorsha tried to overdose on Advil and I had to call poison control. She is fine and we didn't have to make a trip to the ER.

Yesterday I had to take Stasia to the doctor because she had this weird little bump on the back of her head. The doctor said it was a swollen Lymph Node. He said it should go down in 4-6 weeks. He gave me a list of things to watch for just in case it turned more serious.

I just want to know why these things always happen to me when Gabe is out of town. But when I go out of town, nothing happens. It keeps me busy, that is for sure!
I am hoping the rest of the week passes without anymore doctor visits or calls to poison control.

Home Sweet Home

I am so tired...it's bed time right?? Please??

We had to get up this morning at 3:00am to get a shuttle to the airport. 3 airports and 2 flights later, we were home :)

We met Gabe in Evansville for lunch and then I went to mom's house to see my babies.
I missed them so much!!

I am trying really hard to think of more to write, but my brain is in shut down mode...I think I am just going to sign off :)

I had a wonderful time! I am very glad to be home!

The End!

Days 3 & 4 in Florida

This vacation has been pretty much perfect. It has been so relaxing and fun.

Yesterday we did much of the same thing - swim, lay out, shop. That night, we dressed up and went out to eat at a really nice local Italian restaurant. It was very yummy.

This morning we got up at 5:45 to watch the sunrise. It was very pretty.
We didn't do much today...walked along the beach, went shopping and ate at Joe's Crab Shack again...very tasty!!

All in all, it has been an awesome week, but we are very much ready to come home.
We will wake up very early and head to the airport.

Here are some pictures of the sunrise

2nd Day In Florida

We had another wonderful day.
We went to the beach right after breakfast. It is so peaceful, I love it!!

After we laid out for a few hours, we walked around to few shops and ate at Joe's Crab Shack...it was pretty much awesome! Best popcorn shrimp EVER!! The waiters also did this sad little dance to "workin at the car wash" it was embarrassing but funny to witness :)

We took a lovely nap and then went walking around town, went down to the beach at dusk and Jada took wonderful pictures.

The beds here are magic beds...you can't help but fall asleep if you lay on them for 5 minutes...not even joking!

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy :)

1st Day in Flordia

Jada and I are finally here!! Much planning and patience has gone into this vacation and it has been so worth it!



Our day started at 3:00am...3 airports, 2 flights later we are HERE!!
Everything has gone so smoothly so far. It has been a great day!



Our hotel is wonderful!! It is everything we wanted!

We played in the ocean, laid out, went shopping and walked along the beach at dusk.





While we were laying out, we were attacked by the local seagulls. The family sitting next to us had brought a picnic and the little boy shared his with the birds. Of course they wanted more...











This all happened right above our little heads, but we got lucky and escaped poo free :)

More updates to come in the next days, but for now...it is time to rest this little head!!

Crazy Hair

A very bad case of bed hair. It made me laugh...a lot!!
