March 6 - March 12
Florida!
The trip started really early Wednesday morning. The flight was at 6:40 and we were running late and ended up being the last people on the plane; thank goodness it wasn't a full flight! Daddy and I were up since 4:30ish and were very tired. He got to sleep on the plane.
Visiting
Lily really enjoyed visiting with everyone. But she especially loved the puppies (mostly Little Bit, seen here).
Lily At The Beach
On Thursday, Lily and I went on deliveries with Muma. Daddy and Jon stayed at Grandpa George's chillin'. Muma had a meeting so Lily and I went to visit Lisa (one of Muma's friends) who has a house on the beach. Lily was in her glory running on the beach.
Lily Chasing The Sea Gulls
Build-A-Bear
Auntie Bevee took us to the International Mall to have pictures taken at Sadies. All went as smoothly as can be expected for trying to get a 15 month-old and a 2 1/2 year-old to sit and look at the camera! Oh, and did I mention that I was sick as a dog with the stomach flue and I was a BEAR??? Thanks Aunt Bev for putting up with me! At least the pictures came out great! After pics and lunch we went to Build-A-Bear. Here Lily is "washing" her puppy and Daddy is feverishly scrubbing the Alligator (named Goliath!) for Jon. I have never seen him "clean" a stuffed animal with such love and attention...
At The Park
On Saturday the guys (Ray, Uncle Dan, and Pep) went deep sea fishing and the rest of us went out to the park, Stop-N-Play and then to the Japanese Steak House for lunch. Even though I was sick, it was what I REALLY wanted; and it was delicious! There's this really cool outdoor park in downtown New Port Richey that Lily and Jon loved; too bad Muma was allergic to it!!! However, Muma and I had a ball at Stop-N-Play!
All in all, it was a great trip with a few setbacks. Lily and I were both sick; we gave it to Muma, Aunt Bev, Grandpa George and countless unsuspecting others. When we got home, Daddy got it and then Jon. Lily's had it for 10 days. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER!!!
Thanks all for a wonderful time and hope to see you soon!
Hi to all!
First Post!!!!!!!! Great story and great pics Jen! I wish you had been feeling better while you were visiting. Thanks to Lily, I've spent over $400 on meds, being treated for pneumonia, but I'm really feeling pretty good today. Friday, the doctor gave me a miracle shot (steroids) and I'm starting to feel like my old self again. I even made corned beef and cabbage, cause I was too sick to make it on Saint Patrick's Day. Mom & Pops came over for some and we played cards--girls lost. Oh well, what's new about that??? Art came and took a bowl home, but brought me the biggest smoked turkey leg I ever did see. I ate it at 11:00 p.m., while Grandpa George was having ice cream. He couldn't believe that I ate the whole thing and then had a little cup of ice cream too!
Well, thanks again for the update. I miss you all already!
Love you all!!!

Hi Jennifa!
WOW--2nd post too! I know you're a couple of weeks behind on the newsletter, but we do all understand--especially after you all coming out and visiting. I don't know how you find time to brush your teeth, never mind keeping the blog up to date. Still love you lots!

Hi Jennifa
3rd post too. I think everyone gave up looking to see if you updated! Did you send out a notice??? I didnt' get one.
Today was a long day. I went to work and had 15 pick ups and deliveries--from about as far east as we go, south as we go, and north as we go. I didn't get back to the office til after 3. Still haven't written the Rotary newsletter--nothing to write, I wasn't there and the notes still haven't come back. Oh well, they may not get a newsletter this week.
Okay, I still miss you-----lots. Hope all is well--miss you and love you

5th post--I still think it should count as first when it's been two weeks since you updated. Hey, just so you know, tomorrow's April 1st--more commonly known as April Fools Day--got any good plans you want to share???????????? Salt in the sugar bowl--sugar in the salt shaker--cut off the heads of matches--switch out hard boiled eggs for raw ones-----you know fun stuff!
Love you
Muma
