June 2020



Aaaaand we're back! I'm learning to use a Mac so everything is different....pics are scrambled everywhere but here are a couple that actually loaded! 

We're settling in to Florida life - winter is like spring & fall, and summer is basically like summer in Missouri with more rain. But it's cozy rain! It rains for maybe an hour in the afternoons, 3-4 times per week, then it's sunny & beautiful again. My health is also so much better here. Brent is happy to not have any yard or outside housework, and inside maintainance is pretty basic. We love the community pool & living right on the river, close to downtown, & 45 min to 1 hour from all the best beaches! We enjoy kayaking, climbing in the mangroves, biking in the neighborhood & on dirt trails, and getting together with other homeschool families. We've met some wonderful friends here, but also look forward to seeing our old friends again.





Zach & Julia with our grandbaby Techiya!!!  Road trip to see them very soon - gonna camp along the way & soak up the sights then camp when we get there. Goal is to spend as little money as possible while spending as much TIME as possible with our people :0)

Sorry for the silence here - but we've moved!

A lot has happened in the past 6 months...here are a few highlights!

I became a puppy grandma - meet Finn!  Abbie & James are very proud puppy parents :0)


Dinner by the ocean after a day at the beach with Gma & Gpa L!!

Beach time is a regular thing....we've trying out a lot of different ones!  This is in Sarasota about an hour from our house.


Love these amazing people so so so much....

Malachi learned to ride a 2 wheel bike on his 4th birthday! Thank you balance bike!

I became a great-auntie!  Thank you Nathan & Betsy - can't wait to meet your little bundle of cuteness!

Another incredible beach - this one completely private except for the dear friends who invited us to join them here

We miss you, Gma J. We love you more.

Keeping this in mind....

Yes! Those are the wee toes of our first grandbaby!!!  Can't wait to meet you precious wee one!!  Zach & Julia are expecting in August!!

We've joined the Wild + Free Myakka group here & are loving our time together

It's been a smooth transition - strange & amazing how it all happened so quickly! God's hand was on every decision and is continuing to guide us as we settle in & figure out what's next.
