Family snapshot taken for our dossier for Elijah ![]()
Ami showing off Benjamin’s bean plants–she loves this pair of boots because they are quick for her to pull on by herself. She likes to wear them with anything!
On our way down to Florida we stayed with good friends, the Coomers in Kentucky. We miss you guys!
We arrived in FL to record low temperatures, which made the first part of the week a little less desirable, but it warmed up as the week went on.
Ami doesn’t have much fear and we had to keep a close eye on her so that she wouldn’t dive into the surf.
The background looks fake, but it’s not! The FL gulf coast is simply gorgeous.
A snapshot we took to send to Elijah in our weekly card.
Johanna turned 7 on our trip. We had some birthday before we left, a little in FL, then a bit more when we returned home.
Ami loved the sand–she’s already got a tan and we even put SPF 50 on her.
Johanna taking a very short break before running out to the waves for more fun.
On our way home we visited the Carpenters, friends from our China travel group. Zoe wasn’t quite ready for Ami’s morning hug!
Zoe made fast friends with our kids.
BJ is a sweetie and Ami has asked about him several times since we arrived home. She’s ready to go back to BJ’s house!
Johanna’s belated birthday cake after we arrived home from vacation.
Our back yard–notice the four deer just lounging around. No, we don’t eat venison. ![]()
