this and that

I am so very thankful that it is almost March. It has been a long, cold winter for me. I don't enjoy being chilled at all. I love the heat and the sunshine, the pool and the beach. Last week the weather changed and I can feel spring in the air! We've had a few gorgeous days lately so we spent them outside and at the beach.

This month we've enjoyed a weekend in Orlando visiting our friends, the Sawkins. They've been coming to Florida for vacations for 9 years and we always catch up right where we left off the year before. We met them 14 years ago when we were young and newlywed! They were young too but not newlyweds and parents of 2 sweet girls. They also spent a weekend at our house.

My nephew Aaron and niece Ashley and baby Ashton visited us again this past week. It's always a fun time. Thanks for taking our family pictures, hopefully some turn out! Love it that you visit us.

Baseball season is in full swing again. 3 kids on 3 different teams means most evenings are spent at the ball field. It's busy but excellent and fun for the kids. Not so fun for AnnaGrace though.

no more relaxing at the pool, before Ashley and I knew it, the kids were in the pool.

Anna Grace seems to be enjoying herself immensely! Got to teach her how to swim this year.
