At the end of January, I flew to Florida to join Leanne, Ashley, Megan, and Leanne's other sisters-in-law Emily and Kliss for a long weekend. It was cold, but we still managed to have a great time shopping and eating out and just hanging out. I loved being with these girls, even without great weather. They are fun girls, happily married to great guys, and I am so grateful to have them in my life. This was one of two trips that helped get me through several tough months that followed. We took airboat tour through the everglades. Our guide was great...old and leathery with an accent that almost required a translator. He stopped and fed a racoon that knew when and where to show up for a snack.
We drove a road famous for all the alligators that live in the river. This was when I missed my boys. I knew they would love it.
Jason, on the other hand, had kind of a lousy weekend, since Colin spent the majority of it vomiting. Colin asked Jason if he could talk to me, then got on the phone and sobbed that he needed me to come home and hold him because he was sick. It nearly broke my heart. But they all survived, and Ethan and Jason even forayed into origami.
