Auntie Visits Florida

We just got to spend the week with my amazing sister! I am so glad that she was able to take time off work and come spend time with us. This trip was extra special and I am so grateful for the time we were able to spend together. We did a lot of fun stuff while she was here visiting. We spent a lot of time at the beach, we went to a state park where we got to see Alligators, we ate some good food, and just enjoyed the company. Madeline has such a special relationship with her aunt and it just melts my heart. I love watching them together and I love that my sister loves her so much!

Fun at the Beach!

We just got to spend two amazing weeks with my parents! We are so glad that they are able to come out and spend time with us. We did a lot of fun things while they were here, we went to the beach, ate at fabulous restaurants, went on a fun boat ride, and just enjoyed spending time together. Madeline was in heaven and just loved all the attention she was getting from her grandparents. She loves them so much and I just love watching her interact with them.

Family Visit #3

We have been so lucky to have so many of our family members come out and visit since we moved! Last week Alan's parents came to a work conference in Orlando, which was awesome because they were able to see us! On Monday they came and stayed with us. We were able to show them around our new home. On Tuesday they got to go on a tour of Alan's school, we then took them to our favorite beach, Siesta Key. They were able to watch Madi play in the waves and sand. They then had to go back to Orlando for the conference but we were lucky enough to get to meet up with them over the weekend and spend some time at Universal Studios and Disney World.

They brought her this toy all the way from home that her Great Grandpa made and she loved it!

We had the most amazing time while Alan's parents were here. It was so good to see them and spend some quality time together. I know that Madi sure loved seeing them and getting spoiled! Thank you Sevy's for your generosity and taking the time to come visit us! We had so much fun! We love you guys! Can't wait to see you at Christmas! 

Family Visit #2

We were lucky enough to have my sister come stay with us for 9 days and it was soooooooooo fun! We were able to spend a lot of good quality sister time together which we both desperately needed. Madeline was also loving the attention from her Auntie. It was so great to see my sister! I have missed her terribly since we moved and I loved spending a full 9 days with her. We did a lot fun things while she was here. We went to the aquarium, to the beach, the pool, shopping, and a fun boat tour of Sarasota Bay.
