State Trip--Part 4

We were in Florida for the last part of our trip visiting Andre's sister and family. 
We really enjoyed it!

Stef and Nolan

Nolan got his own booster seat. :)

 

SEA WORLD!  What an amazing place.  You could spend days there... 

God's creation is awe-inspiring.

 

 

It was SO hot.  Looks like he is all drugged up, but I think he was tired.

Di is touching a sting-ray.

This picture makes me realize that my little baby is growing so fast.

Cousins!

State Trip--Part 3

This is my favorite picture from the trip--and it could be in the top 10 of my all time favorite pictures.  This picture shows me so much of these two.  Their relationship--inseparable.  Elliot is a little helper.  Papi letting him help.  Papi carrying the load, but letting Elliot take the lead.  Elliot being so proud of helping his Papi.  Elliot is just growing up.

 

 

 

 

 

The boys built a boat!  It was quite fun trying to get it across the little pond.  It is amazing how a big leaf can really work as a sail!

 

Elliot is fishing...for a Kleenex!  He had fun for hours!!!  Andre just threw a Kleenex in the water and gave him a long stick!

I found an old horseshoe.

State Trip--Part 2

The second part of our trip was at my lovely sister's!

 

Playing with my phone! :)

These two boys had so much fun playing together!  Diggers, dump trucks  and dirt are a universal language!! Hard to get a picture with both of them looking and have a interested look on their face! :)

Victoria Public Library--it sure was a neat experience!  Andre (and I, as well) was so impressed that it was free.  Elliot goes to a music class that is very similar and we pay for it.

 

DIRT!!!

After all that dirt, there were some baths needed!  I just love this video.

 

 

Nolan got to go to Bible class!

Watching Uncle Jeff mow the lawn.

State Trip--Part 1

We started our trip in Prague, Czech Republic--the car was loaded!

 

 

 

The boys did really well on the flight.  I unknowingly booked night flights in both directions--that is the way to go!!  From Frankfurt to Houston (11.5 hour flight), both boys slept over half the time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We found out VERY quickly what our main attraction would be!  Just give a little boy a creek and rocks---hours of entertainment!

This buggy has been a long way...

Elliot got to paint some tiles!

And we did a pinecone craft.

Where do I start???

I have a lot of catching up to do--I guess I will start with the few days before we left on our trip to the States.  It was a whirlwind.  I had a wonderful friend come and play with the boys while I tried to get packed and get the apt sort of clean.  I just couldn't get it all done...oh well...

Elliot was so excited about his little suitcase for traveling!  Thanks, Dili!

Nolan has a new trick!  That is when I got a ribbon to attach to his pacifier to keep it from shooting across the room at the speed of light.
