2nd Week Of Vacation

Our last week of vacation has been real nice, the weather on the other hand hasn't...I guess I shouldn't complain about 70 degrees, but it would be nice if the sun was out all the time as well:) I know, call me greedy...
Suzi, Kevin and Ryan went home just after Richards kids, Morgan, Mitchell and Madison, came in. We also had another family come over to be with us for a few days, the Mike Goodwins. Lauren's friend Sydney Satoski came and spent the night with us before leaving with her family to go to Orlando. The kids have gone jet skiing many times, they even had the boat police fly across the gulf to see what the heck they were doing so close to the shore...If you look real close to this picture you will see that the full moon has been out here quite a bit this year! The kids (and Richard) had just come back from jet skiing and were warming up in the hot tub.
My father in law, Stew came as well as our friend Mike Schultz and we have just been hanging out spending time together as usual.

We have seen all the normal faces down here that come for christmas and look forward to seeing them all again next year:)


I have taken more Senior pictures of Leah, here are just a few





I have been blessed with wonderful friends and relatives and look forward to the new year to come!

HAPPY NEW YEAR


FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

Christmas Vacation Week 1

So this is the day we were leaving, Thursday the 17th, we lined Leah's boyfriend Ryan up to watch the house and take care of the cats for us....As you can see Leah is VERY sad...
Little did she know that her Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Kevin were looking for another driver to help them with the long trip down...Ryan asked Thursday morning from work to get the week off, they said yes, he packed in one day and headed down with them...
What is very nice is that this year we also have the room right next door to us, thats where Ryan, Suzi, Kevin and Richard are staying...
The next morning the SURPRISE was on her:)

I have posted a few pictures of our first week here in Madeira Beach, Florida
This is our 15th year of coming down for Christmas and New Years
Love to see how "white" the girls really were to begin with:)

Then Sunday we headed to Tampa to pick up our little German Daughter Rani

We found a restaurant called the Sea Hag, the owner used to live in South Bend, IN
Love these girls and the beautiful sunset behind them:)

The sunsets really are the best here...

While I was laying poolside, Norman went and bought himself a Christmas present!
This is what Christmas Eve looks like for us...This is our tradition, Pizza and Pasta!


Merry Christmas Everyone
