Happy Thanksgiving!

As always, the Simards put together a perfect Thanksgiving family celebration!

Thanks guys - we had a wonderful time!

Sisters Disney Cruise!

Gail and I took a Xmas themed Disney cruise to the Bahamas while she was visiting. We left on the Magic from Miami, the same ship Mike and I were on this Summer!

On the first night we went to the cute Xmas tree lighting ceremony...

And on our first day we docked at Castaway Cay where we spent the day drinking cocktails at Serenity Bay - the Adults-Only beach:)

We saw a curly-tailed lizard...:)

Gail actually won at the fantastically fun Disney Bingo!

And at night we loved the pirate show and fireworks:)

The next day we went on our first glass-bottomed boat tour of Nassau and took a walk around the town too...

And then headed back to the Adults-only pool for some more cocktails:)

Thanks for coming Gail - it was a perfect trip!

Happy Adoption Anniversary!

I can't believe it's been only a year since we brought Professor Langley into our lives. We love him so very much and celebrated his Adoption Anniversary with some toys for him to destroy!

Swimming with Manatee

Gail visited for the first time in a year this month! As soon as she arrived, we headed over to Tampa to pick up Maddy and then onto Crystal River for a girls' day out swimming with the manatees. It was really cold and we had to get up at 5am but we all agreed afterwards that it was soooo worth it:)
