Try again...

that's the message I kept getting as I tried over and over again to enter my password. It has been awhile. I had to pause for a few minutes before entering the name of my blog into the address bar.

My mom asked me tonight if I was ever going to blog again and here is her answer...

Yes. I am and as you requested here are photos of the family. I'm feeling lazy and it's late so I didn't upload the most recent pictures. However, these are the most recently uploaded on my laptop and they happen to be from over the holiday break. For the most part we look the same. Smile. Hope that's all right mom.


First photo taken of us in the new year.


We spent the first few days of 2010 in Orlando. Before returning back to school and getting caught up in the year to come we took a mini vacation to relax and enjoy time spent together.


From the temperature outside you would have never known you were in Florida. We had record low temps the first week into the new year. It was FREEZING! I felt bad for the hoards of tourist vacationing in the state that week. Those poor people planned to visit the sun shine state and relax in the warm weather. Nope...40 degrees! This is why we're bundled up.



Spending the day at Universal Studios.









Over the break Ella taught herself how to send text messages. Her dad, myself and the babysitter... she can texted us all! Of course she has to use one of our phones. Can't wait.








Ending a full day. Tired.







We saw The Blue Man Group during our stay. We had a great time at the show and for many hours after the proformance. The kids took away lighted drum sticks which prompted our own show back at the hotel.






Again, It was cold outside. Our kids didn't care how cold it was. Our hotel had four outdoor pools, two hot tubs and a playground. We used them all. Well, Scott and I stayed away from the pools (even though they were heated).


The hotel that we stayed in was a actually a time share. It was wonderful. We had a full kitchen stocked with whatever was needed. Ella made us smoothies.


As I mentioned we took some time to relax.

Happy New Year... looking forward to 2010!
