I've been busy! I didn't realize how long it has been since I updated this site....seems like I don't have much time to get on the computer these days

Things are moving along..... I spent some time traveling in November and was fortunate enough to go to my favorite place in the US..... FLORIDA! Because it was the off-season, I was able to get a great deal on sail-boat rides. I was able to go out almost every day - this is JP, the guy who own's the business - he was quite a hoot. If you know me very well, you know that I HATE feet...well JP had the most disgusting feet and toes I have ever seen. I think they were fried from walking barefoot on the beach all the time. (Not sure why I felt the need to share that but I did and they were GROSS!)

Yoda had to go with me on this little trip because he has been really sick - he is diabetic. I have to give him shots every day and well... let's just say he won't let anyone else do it, so I had no choice but to take him. He did very well though and even laid out in the sun with me... check this out:

If you ever go to Panama City and you are looking for a great place to stay, the Sandpiper-Beacon Resort is awesome! Found this place by accident just because I needed somewhere that allowed pets. I love it and they have great off-season prices!

I missed the girlies while I was away! Suzanna is doing good, though the 5th grade and all the things kiddo's have to deal with at this age are a little tough on her. She actually could use a few extra prayers - just that she is able to enjoy being a kid and leaves worrying about things that are out of her control up to the adults in her life who love her.

Brooke is doing great, too. She is just getting so big and so smart! I am still amazed at how much she learns and grows every day. She is counting to 10, recognizes some of her colors and is attempting some of her ABC's. You can practically hold a conversation with the girl at this point. If you tell her, "I Love You" she will respond.... "I Love You, More!" It's wayyyy cute.

Can you believe that this child who has never been afraid of anything is suddenly afraid of Santa Claus? She is even afraid of the santa ornaments on the tree! Not sure what that is all about... I guess her Christmas picture this year will have to be without Santa!

This picture of my mom, dad and Brooke was taken on November 4th - we met them in St.Charles to celebrate my dad's birthday.

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls....taken in the last couple of months.

Last but not least.... I am going to attempt to post a video...the quality isn't too good because it was done on my cell phone. But...it's funny! This is Brooke dancing at my cousin Pam's 40th Birthday party. Before you wonder.....NO it is not in fast forward, that is how fast she is moving.

Hope that left you with a good laugh! I am going to try to be updating more often.... check back for the latest!

Happy Holidays!
