My GIRLS!!

Here is a pic of my 21 volleyball girls. They are a great group of girls, and I am really enjoying this season. So far we are 4-0!!

And here are MY girls...aren't they just the cutest?? Blonde hair/blue eyes and dark hair/brown eyes...so different, but yet so alike!! I LOVE them to pieces!!

Oops

I just posted that I thought I was caught up, but I am wrong. I just remembered that I have SNOW pictures that never got posted. I will do those another night though, as I think 14 posts for 1 night is plenty. Have a good night and pace yourself...you may go into Florida overload if you look at too many of the recent posts.

READY or NOT

Ready or not...here comes the pictures. I have been away from blogging for about a month now, but I think I have finally caught up. Thankfully I have been too busy to take many pictures, so once I caught up from January vacation, I am back on track...at least for a little while. I just posted a LOT of posts to catch up and complete our vacation. In the coming days, I will try to get up some more recent pics that I have taken in the last few days. Sorry about being gone SO long and for posting SO many in one night. I have just been very busy with the girls, Church, volleyball, and volleyball and work. So enjoy the pics!!

This was the start of our vacation with Grandma and Pap in Naples, FL. We went there after our time in Orlando, and spent a week with them. The girls were just dying to go swimming (as it had been a bit chilly while we were in Orlando).

Well, the water here wasn't anything to brag about...it was plain COLD. I refused to get in it (unless, obviously if I had NEEDED to get in, I could have) But as you can tell, the cold didn't stop these girls from getting in. They got in, but didn't stay in for long. They actually enjoyed dancing outside of the pool...which I caught on videotape. Sarah was in the most.

Mary got cold pretty quickly and opted to "chill" on her beach towel.

Finally Sarah decided to join her...and that was the end of our swimming in Naples, until we hit the beach the next day. :)

Gotta LOVE Florida in January!!

Flea Market

One morning we went to a flea market. Jude got a great deal on belts, and we enjoyed just walking through and browsing the many, many outlets.

This would have been a great shot had Bee not decided to yawn as I snapped the pic. Unfortunately this place was way too busy for me to hold up "traffic" to snap another shot.

Beach Bums

Taking a break for lunch...on the beach.

This face just cracks me up. Can't remember what evoked it, but it is SO Sarah!!

Model in training

Not sure where to start.

Naples

While we were in Naples, we drove to Fort Myers to enjoy this place called Imaginarium. The girls had a great time. Below, Grandma and the girls are checking out the sting rays (and yes they were allowed to touch them) YUCK!! (more pics from this trip are in the next post)

More time at the beach...the girls were playing with a new friend they made at the beach, and she was from near Philadelphia. How ironic is that? A very nice girl, and she was Mary's age. They had a great time playing together.

Sarah was burying my shoes. The little stinker!!

Daddy and his Boo.

Imaginarium

They had a weather forecasting area where the kids could do the weather on tv. It was pretty cool, but I laughed out loud about the fact that PA was getting pounded with snow, and Mary forecasted snow in PA. (now I don't know if she even knows where PA is, but somehow the flurries managed to land there) I guess you could say she is MORE accurate than our current meteorologists.

Sarah liked this bird.

Such a cutie!!

Pap bought the girls tokens to get food to feed the fish. They enjoyed feeding them and the ducks. Thanks Pap!!
