The kids and I are going to see Grandma Liz in Florida during the last week of February! We found some cheap $89 flights, and it is during a time they are off school due to a teacher conference. I am looking forward to hanging out with Liz now that I am feeling well again, and plan to take full advantage of the sunshine. The kids are in a bit of Grandma Liz withdraw after all the time they spent with her in October, December and January while I was in the hospital, so they are looking forward to this time together. They are also curious about the airplane ride- it has been almost a year since we last flew together as a family, so they have asked lots of funny questions about flying.
Elena's crazy growth spurt continues, so I bought her a few new bathing suits this week. She got the new ones and old ones out tonight and proceeded to dress her each of dolls in one. Then she lined them all up and gave "swimming lessons."
Explaining the finer points of water safety
Hello Kitty needed a little extra attention since she is "scared of the sharks"
After all the instruction, it was time for bed. In this photo you can glimpse the new banister we had installed this week. Our handymen, Mel & Scott, have been a daily presence in our house for the last two weeks. They have been terrific, and the house is looking better every day, but it will be nice when the house is not a construction zone anymore.
Elena wanted to wear her swimsuit to bed, but we compromised on her princess pajamas instead.
We are looking forward to our time together in Florida!
