Full House

I just love a full house - even if it's not mine!  Ha!  (Thanks Mom!)... This is why we come to Florida twice a year - wish it could be more.. think that should be a new invention Morgan works on - a quick transport between Florida and Arkansas! - but I love a full house - filled with lots of family.. lots of together time.. it's great!  
We headed downtown today to go to the Glazer Children's Museum then lunch on the river.. it was great - the kids had fun... not sure if they enjoyed inside or outside time better...but either way it was a fun day!
Then back home to pack a little (we're house switching tomorrow and heading to Morgan's parent's) and get ready for dinner with everyone tonight.
After a few rough nights with the littlest one, I'm pretty tired so I'll leave the pictures to tell the rest of the story... but I just love how my girls "don't want to leave" because they've had such a great time with family... looking forward to July time with this side of the family again.. onto more family time with the Ware side.. :o)

Family Day 2

 Another fun filled family day today - the kids (ranging from 22 months to 10 years old) running around playing... they had a great time and we had a nice time hanging out as well.  We played, ate, played some more, ate some more.. ha! :o)  Just too tired now to post more pictures than this... here's the whole crew and then a silly picture to end the day.

Flights, Family and Food...

 Yesterday our adventure began to head to Florida.  It started out crazy with gathering everything and making sure that everything was set with the house.  Out the door we went, 3 kids, 4 suitcases, 1 stroller and 1 car seat bag... we were set.  Morgan dropped us off at the terminal to go park the car - came back to find me cleaning up a nasty mess - Nora was sick... really sick!  She threw up not only once - not twice but three times - with lots of false alarms before we boarded the first plane.  We weren't sure if we should even attempt it but figured - let's see... so we boarded and Nora promptly fell asleep -



 She slept and slept - only waking 3 times on the way to Atlanta - all three times to wake up and throw up more in the bags I got from the stewardess.  Thankfully after our quick layover in Atlanta (Morgan carried Nora through the terminal while I had Emily and Rose and all the carry on stuff).. she felt better and perked up... thankfully no more throw up (from her!)
 Once at Mom and Dad's, we got settled in - had fun watching Dad's trains and opening presents - it was like Christmas morning all over again..the girls were having a blast!

 We had a relatively quiet night - Rose was up some - but otherwise everyone slept well.  Today was filled with lots of family visits, drop ins and play time together..

 As well as meals together... we ended the day with another family gathering at Chili's.. so fun getting everyone together - love it... didn't quite love the throw up from Rose on the way back to Mom and Dad's though... so here's to fingers crossed that no one else gets sick... and we can enjoy more family time together!

Across the Pond

 Nora spent 3 weeks in England on a study abroad program - Medieval England... she had the best time.  I'll gather up more of her pictur...
