Home Again, Home Again

Hi Everyone! A little late with today's post, but since it is a holiday here in Canada I think you can excuse me.


We had an incredible time down in Florida, even with a bit more rain than we are used to. We were able to get in a good amount of shopping at the outlets (where Halle also went on her first ride)...

{Riding on Clifford the Big Red Dog. Despite what the photo shows - she loved it}

We fit in a good amount of time down by the pool (with yummy drinks)...

{Halle and I coordinated bathing suits}

{Squeezing in some drink while Halle naps by the pool}

And of course, we paid a visit to the Magic Kingdom...

{Halle loved that the clock, at Small World, went off right as we were standing in front of it}

{Riding Buzz Lightyear}

{Family shot in front of the castle}

{Halle's first ride on the carousel}

{Halle got her first set of mouse ears... and B and I tried on some other ones...}

Like any other vacation, there were all kinds of other little moments that created fantastic family memories for us as well...

{Halle loved the balloon animals she got, including this dog at dinner at Joe's Crab Shack}

{This one melts my heart every time! How lucky am I to have these two?}

{Posing on the elephants at our resort during a family walk}

Of course there are so many more photos, but I don't want to bore you with every single shot from our family travels. I'd say these nicely depict what a fabulous time we had together.

Now that we are back in the rainy, cool Northwest, we're back to working on the house. No kidding. We got back early, early yesterday morning and we've already been shopping and putting more stuff up to make the house feel more like a home. We have quite a few people ready to come out and pay us a visit, so it's time to get this place guest ready! I'll be back with lots to share over the next little while, and I'm so ready to get back into things!
