Movin' On

This is our last week living in Florida. Next Sat we will be on the road to a new adventure in Utah. I've been having lots of emotions about this move (mainly cause I'm pregnant and don't have any control over my emotions) Oh Florida, there have been lots of struggles living here! Good times too...
I'm sure I'll miss the sun and heat this winter when there is endless snow, but right now I'm looking forward to a change in the weather.
I know for sure that there are some wonderful friends that I have made over the past 5 1/2 years here that I'm going to miss. Tears have already fallen as I have had to say good bye and I'm sure more will fall as we make our final debute at church on Sunday.
The thing I am looking forward to the most about this move is being closer to family. I won't have to spend all day on a plane or 4 days in the car just to see family. I'm really excited that I will be having a baby with family there and can't wait for my Brothers and Dad to stand in the circle to bless this little addition to our family. I'm excited for my kids to get to know their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents (it breaks my heart how often they ask for Grammy and Papa, but I have to tell them no) Now we get to be a part of all the fun activities we keep hearing about!
Here's to you Florida- can't say I'm not excited to be getting out of here!

Work With What You've Got...

Last Saturday Skip took the kids with him to play basketball at the church. I told them I would follow shortly to watch them and bring breakfast. I got there just at the right time...
Poor Lily had had an accident...
I didn't have a single item of extra clothing in the car...
Lily refused to wear the only thing we could find- the jacket Skip keeps in his car...
So we did the only thing we could think of...Since her shirt was to short to cover her bum we turned it upside down...
Only problem...
she thought it was great and only wanted to wear her shirt like that for the rest of the day...
