What's left to say?

I just finished helping update Caleb and Abby's Blog so now I unfortunately have nothing new to say. Abby has wanted a blog since her birthday (January). I finally got that done so of course now Caleb wants his to stay updated. I may not have time to keep up my own blog. (as you can see I've done so well the last several months:)
Caleb finished basketball camp and had his award ceremony this evening. He has learned a lot!

This is what Ella does while we blog. While I was helping Abby get her blog up and going, Ella was mixing up a concoction. I knew she was stirring something around in a bowl, but wasn't really paying her much attention. (lost in blogworld, you know) Well, when she was done, she asked me to taste her new recipe. The ingredients were snow, salt, pepper, paprika, sesame seeds, and milk. Needless to say, I graciously declined.

Isaac's new skill. Drinking from a sippy cup.

The kids had a blast at Nate's birthday party. (see Caleb & Abby's blog for other pics) Here's Abby and Jenna (Janella's daughter) enjoying some pizza.

Florid-ahhh

My sister, Julie (who took this amazing picture) and I spent a few days in sunny Florida last week. We left our kids at home except for Isaac. It was great to get away for some rest and relaxation. Here are a few highlights of our trip. Check out the slideshow for more pics.

Ft. Lauderdale- sunny and 86 degrees

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort. It was just completely redone and all brand new. Our room was awesome!

The lobby of the Crowne Plaza.

Isaac loved the pool with its zero-depth entry. He had fun just splashing around.

Heading out for an evening at Sawgrass Mills Mall. Over 350 shops with everything from Nordstrom outlet to Super Target to TJ Maxx to Gymboree outlet and everything in between plus PF Changs and Cheesecake Factory and Rain Forest Cafe and on and on...

Lovin' this picture of my blue-eyed baby!

My bestest friend.

Mmmmmmm...cooling off with an icecream cone on the boardwalk. Fun place for souvenir shops
and little cafe's and restaurants right on the beach.

The view from our balcony.

Enjoying lunch at Sugar Reef Grill on the boardwalk. We had shrimp quesadillas and dolphin paninis. Delicious!
