THE CRUISE!!!

Not even sure where to start.......what a week! We had a wonderful time with family and new experiences! I would highly recommend a cruise for a family adventure! We left Miami last Monday evening and headed toward Key West, then on to Cozumel and then a day at sea. If there was a downer at all on the trip it was the weather--although I shouldn't complain--I could have been home in -17 weather! We did have some winds that dampened some of the on and off ship fun and some cooler than normal temperatures so we didn't get as much fun in the sun as we wanted but overall it was a terrific trip! But when you are with the cutest grand baby in the world and 15 other favorite people what can you expect!!

OFF AND RUNNING-well at least walking!!

Look at this cutie! I can't believe how big he is getting!
And he walks!!

I can't believe he is just 10 months old and walking already! Oh poor Karen her job just got even harder!!

We are counting the days until we are all together--can't wait to spend time with ALL of my family on the cruise--there will be 18 of us! How fun is that going to be--I will get lots of pictures!!

TEN MONTHS OF COLLIN CUTENESS!!

JUST LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE SPAGHETTI COVERED FACE!!

WOW CAN YOU BELIEVE OUR LITTLE ONE IS 10 MONTHS OLD TODAY!! I got the joy of spending some time on the web cam with him and his Daddy and Mommy tonight! What fun! I am so thankful that technology is available so we get to see him and enjoy some of his cuteness! Karen and Jason are SO good at sending pictures and getting on the web cam! Web cam time just does this Grandma good!! He (and his Mommy and Daddy) have had a couple rough weeks dealing with double ear infection! Poor little family! But it looked tonight that he was on the mend--hopefully he'll start sleeping so they can sleep too!

HALLOWEEN FUN!

Isn't this a Great Pumpkin--this is what greeted the Trick or Treaters at our house this year!

Thanks to Elizabeth! We had a great night and enjoyed having several of our friends stop in with their little ones--wish this cute little Giraffe could have stopped by too but we are thankful for pictures!!

Our Little Giraffe!!
