florida 2024

 Florida in photos, to summarize another amazing week in the sunshine state.  




























really felt the void of the missing kiddos, but we made the best of it and still had a great time!  

sure thankful it happened.

my personal sous chef

 there isn't a day that Cree doesn't drop whatever he's doing to be my personal sous chef...if he hears the big heavy cutting board land on the counter or a knife chopping anything at the kitchen island, he's there!  he loves to help.  recently he's even started chopping on his own, with a very dull knife.  





he also had the ingenious idea to put on the construction goggles when peeling the onion.  i was super impressed.  and the earphones might have been to tune me out~ not sure, he didn't say.  

not sure what i'd do without his help in the kitchen! ;)
cutest sous chef ever! ❤

19

 my boy is 19.  it was so nice to have him home to celebrate his birthday. 





 there was some shopping, a haircut, family celebrating, a birthday meal and cake!

love you so much Hudson, praying this coming year is your best yet!

firsts

February marked the first dentist trip for Cree.  he was a champ.  charmed his way through the visit.  





nothing to it.  a new toothbrush and the treasure box at the end also made it a sweeter deal.

the post that needs no title

 


this is the picture narrative of when cutting paper with scissors quickly spiraled downwards...

my take away?  
don't leave the room to hang laundry while Cree is in possession of scissors....
the end.

and he's up!

 six ventures onto the rink so far, (which is currently more of a shallow pool) and he's gotten the hang of standing, walking, and most recently taking small, independent, short glides that actually resemble skating.  there's a slim chance he might get back on the rink again by the weekend if the weather cooperates...because winters sure aren't like they used to be! (last week he was back on his bike riding down the road wearing just a sweater!)  hoping he has a few more opportunities to hone his skating skills before spring arrives...

below, breaking in the skates on carpet and running across the linoleum...working up a sweat!


so proud to be wearing a helmet and so sure this made him an official hockey player :)






below, the rink, in all its time limited splendor...
