Maimi fun

This month we had Joe's family visit us and enjoy the Miami sum. Since our place down here is small we spent almost the entire time outside. Here are some pictures of the fun we had.

Christmas Pictures

This year Christmas really snuck up on me. It's so easy to forget that it's Christmas time when we are wearing shorts and it's in the mid 80's everyday. We took the boys to see Santa and I was determined to have them wear their Christmas sweaters. The poor boys were so sweaty by the time we were done, but Brodie wasn't about to complain right in front of Santa.

Miami

We made it down to Miami safe and sound, the boys traveled great. The trip down took us a total of 40 hours with one stop at a hotel for some sleep and showers. We only had one scare at the very beginning of our trip, at first I was hauling the u-haul. The trailer sat way too low and was too heavy for my Jeep. As soon as I got the Jeep up to 60MPH the trailer started to swerve and it threw my Jeep over three lanes on 95. I don't know how we made it with out a scratch because once my car came to a stop I was completely sideways on the freeway. Both boys slept through the whole thing. I am certain that we had someone watching over us for that. The rest of the trip was very uneventful, Joe and I switched trailers and we just took our time. Once we got down here we started unpacking, Brodie got a big boy bed, we had Thanksgivings at my parents, and we've spent a little time at the beach.

Brodie got to pick out everything for his bed and bathroom. He has also finally moved out of our bed and slept in his own room since we have been down hereThe bond between these two is so special, Brodie calls him his best friendThe loves of my lifeBrodie is loving winter in MiamiLuke snuggling with PoppyBrodie has also mastered his big boy bike.
