Excitement in the air!!!!

This house is a buzz with excitement as we count down the minutes, hours and milliseconds (is that a word?) until we leave for vacation tomorrow!!
We are headed to NC first to see my oh so wonderful parents and here a wonderful singer on Sunday night (Squire Parsons- he will be there for the Nazarene Camp Meeting), from there we will go to the sunny state of Florida to visit our very favorite hotel/suites and spend 3 days there, from there we travel upstate just a bit to visit with mom-in-law for 2 days and have her home-made country fried steak and gravy! That alone is worth the whole trip to most of my family!
If I can ever get off this blog today my agenda is to: get the laundry done so we can stay clothed for our trip, buy extra dog and cat food so the neighbors can keep them alive for us while we are away, pack 5 suitcases for 9 days of travel, fill the gas tank up (that is the scariest part of the day!!!) and clean this house so we don't have to come back to any messes! The best part is I have 3 little girl helpers, so we're planning to turn off the tv, shut off the computer and turn up the stereo and jam out while we get after all these dustbunnies and such.
OK, that's our plans for today- I know not so fun, but the trip will make it all worthwhile.. I'll make sure I get LOTS of photos to share when we get back.

Eeenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo....

Katelynn loves to sit in my lap (THANK GOD- because it won't last!), anyway during our lap time last week we were talking about our toes and thought it would be a cute photo to have all our tootsies on camera as a reminder of that special time. Here's "toe" a fun time in your family!!

Fun in the Sun

Snickers (the one on the right) is VERY pregnant right now. She should have them any time- the cat beside her is her son from the previous litter.

Katelynn wants to be like big sister and play ball next year.

Just wanted to share some photos taken yesterday in the beautiful weather (It was about 75 and sunny!!). Everyone wanted to be outside and that's just what we did - enjoying some family time- pets included :)

Recently my niece Kelsi was able to visit and this photo is of her eating a picnic lunch with her cousins. They all have a great time when they get together with family! Family is so special and I hope it's at the top of your lists this holiday season of things to be thankful for. I know I'm very blessed to have a wonderful family and I am proud to have them all in my life! Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving full of lots of fun, family and friendship!!
