We're Back

We had a safe trip home on Thursday. No one was ready to come home. We had a wonderful time! =) We stayed with the Huxley family for 3 nights in Fort Myers, then we packed up and stayed at the Kennedy's (Deborah's boyfriend's family) rental house for 2 nights. The Huxleys & Kennedys were so sweet to have a place for us to stay - that's no small thing! =) From there we went to Orlando and rented a house for 4 nights. We had a great time & made a lot of memories. =)

Fun At The Woodys Farm


After we got all that snow we went out to the Woodburys and went toboganning. Uncle Woody pulled us on his tractor - we had a great time! We use to do this years ago when the older ones were younger. The kids really had a great time! They can't wait to do it again.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! It snowed right into the new year - it was beautiful! The kids loved all the snow. They were out making snowmen at 1:00am. Times have changed, that's for sure. :-)

Lydia, Naomi & Hannah

It snowed all night! When we got up this morning we were snowed in. Dad & the boys spent a lot of the day plowing everyone out. Thanks guys! :-)
