Asher Leo

He arrived today! . . . . . Asher Leo- 7 lbs 6 oz, 19.5 inches

 

 He's the sweetest little boy. . . all squishy, cuddly and newborn smelling.

These 2 are such a hoot :)

 

 

He's a keeper for sure.

A Little More of Florida

 On Saturday morning we went to watch Ava at her dance class. (I took the pictures through glass- a little fuzzy).

 I just love this look :)

Ty liked to horse around with Trev. We went to the aquarium in Tampa on Saturday afternoon.

 

 I don't have very many pictures of Ty, as soon as he saw me with my camera he would evade me- and he is very, very quick!

This pictures is what I think of when I am looking out my window and it's cloudy, windy and cold in the middle of February. Somewhere it is 75 degrees, sunny and beautiful.

Waiting for Baby Spaans

She's looking a little ripe ?!!

 

Boy, Girl. . . . . .? What do you think? I'm guessing a boy.

More People to Meet!

We got to meet a couple new people - Jailene . . . .

 

 

 . . . . . . . and Ty.

We were so happy to finally get to meet them!

Ty is an active, ball throwing, running, chasing ball of fire :) -- fits right in with the Hoogendoorns Ha Ha!

He and Ava get along great, they are only a few months apart in age.
This picture reminds me so much of Joni, I have an almost identical picture of Joni when she was 5 yrs old doing this. One eye looking at me and the other eye following the liquid through the straw- hilarious!

 And just to clairfy, that is white sand we are posing on, not snow.

 

 

It's hard to imagine warm beaches at sunset when we came home to below zero temps.
I have lots more to share next week.

Florida/Day 1

Well, I'm finally getting to this- it takes awhile to edit 184 pictures!

Here's our rental vehicle. It's a Ford Escape, it did travel nicely- although I won't be going out to buy one, it's the wrong brand :)

We spent our first day at Honeymoon Island, a small island that you can drive to across a bridge(causeway). It is a quiet and mostly undeveloped island. The beach is beautiful, lots of white sand and shells.

 

And this piece of chicken- maybe- caused Trev a miserable 3 days!!

I think he had a case of food poisoning, later that day he got very sick and spent the next 3 days not far from a restroom.

 

 

Later in the day we meet Greg and Ava!

 

 

 She has grown so much! It was so good to see them both.
Here she is playing monster with a piece of dried up vine that grows on the trees down there.

 She's telling us she is "3" and will be 4 soon.

More coming soon. . . . . .
