No, really. I can explain.
After marrying in 1999 and spending a 4.5 year hiatus in Jacksonville, we returned to Destin in 2004. In the 4.5 years since we moved back, my dad (who lives near St. Pete) has come to visit, um, zero times. He blamed it on a new job that offered little PTO. Every bit of vacation time he had was spent visiting his dad, who lives near Orlando and just celebrated his 89th birthday. Well, this year he finally accrued enough vacation time to make the 7+ hour drive to see us. He arrived on New Year’s Day and is returning home on Monday after the kids go back to school (yeehaw!). That is why I’m “missing in action.” So, go catch up on your other blogs and we’ll chat soon. Love ya, mean it!

How my dad still sees me.
That picture looks like Noah. Well, not the dress…
Yes, I tend to think Noah looks like me, too. Just non-girly.
I think I spy a little dirt under those nails. J/K What sweet little feet!
Yes’m. That looks like a female Noah.
