Fun in the Sun!









We enjoyed the girls' spring break with a quick but fun trip to Florida to see our good friends, the Morgan's. While Shawn was in class, the kids and I got to visit with the Morgan family and check out some of the sights and sounds of Tallahassee, including the beach on St. George's Island.



We had a fabulous time on the beach - it was very calm and quiet with not too many people on the beach. It was very peaceful and not too commercial. The kids had a great time playing in the surf and sand, collecting seashells and chasing seagulls.



Emily was a bit scared that day of seeing sharks and we assured her there were none to be seen. Toward the end of our day at the beach, we were standing in the surf when we saw a 3 ft sand shark! It was way too close for my comfort and Emily saw it and began to freak out! She immediately wanted to go home but as long as she stayed on the water's edge, she was fine. Cooper was a real champ - he loved the beach and was never fussy.



We had a great visit with the Morgan's and can't wait to see them again!

It's Springtime!





The spring weather is a welcome addition to our house! We love the warmer
weather, flowers and staying light later, which means more play time outside!
We had have a busy first part of 2011 - we rescued a puppy - a shephard mix -
named Roscoe and also traveled to Mobile for dance competition, getting to visit
our good friends the Morgan Family. We just celebrated Emily Claire's 5th birthday
and Cooper's 1st birthday is just weeks away. We have a busy spring ahead
of us with birthdays, an overnight camping trip for Shawn and Peyton,
dance practice, Easter and crazy work schedules.

Doesn't look like things will slow down for a while -
maybe in the summer!!
