Back to Reality...

After returning from Italy, it was back to reality! Life did not stop while we were gone and it sped up once we got back! Sorry to take an intermission from the Italy pics!
A couple of weeks after we came home, Josh, Kelly and Hallie came down to Siesta Key for vacation and we got to spend time together over both weekends with their vacation sandwiched between. The first Saturday we watched the UK game like old times with the addition of Hallie, another new wildcat fan.

Isaac and Hallie playing...Isaac taught Hallie to kiss our cat! Isn't she sweet?

The following Thursday night, we attended the Life Care of Brandon's gala fundraising event. We enjoyed our friends' company, ate a nice meal, listened to personal testimonies from clients, and then got out our checkbook! We are blessed to be a part of this ministry.

Saturday, we met up with Kelly, Josh, and Hallie again before they had to catch their flight back home! We wish they lived here so that we could watch all the games and eat Saturday breakfasts together! Maybe when Josh has finished his residency....
After we said farewell to Josh, Kelly, and Hallie, it was off to Orlando for Adelyn's 1st birthday party!

Singing Happy Birthday to Adelyn with Abbie and Matt...I love her facial expression, "why are these people all looking at me and singing?"

And here Adelyn is trying to tell her mommy that she doesn't like cake...or at least not the icing all over her fingers! I caught her sneaking a few bites later from her daddy.

Adelyn's pretty cake table and birthday hat.

After celebrating so many 1st birthdays this fall, we got to celebrate Cory and Tanya's first baby with a baby shower. The guests were invited to the "La-Tea-Da" tearoom for the shower. Thankfully, my mom was here to help me and I've invited her back for the next big shower...I'm wishing and waiting for the day that my parents officially become "snow-birds"!

Erica made the gift boxes and Sam made the menus pictured here.

The set up here involved moving furniture and jerry-rigging a table! Tablecloths cover a multitude of sins!

Each guest got to take home a tea cup after reading the blessing for baby Tucker inside the cup.

Tanya opening her gifts...isn't she such a pretty pregnant lady?
And most recently, I got a call from Traci telling me that she had found $9.99 plane tickets on Allegiant Air and would it be ok if she and Mark came down for a last-minute visit? Of course!!!

Here we are at The Shrimp Boat, one of our local favorites with Mark and Traci. We had such a good time with them and wish we could have taken off of work to go to the beach with them! Come back soon!
