Florida - Part 1

We spent last weekend in Florida, visiting Alasdair's extended family .  We don't get to see them often enough, so we treasure those times!  

The girls were great travelers!   I was so proud of them for being good on the plane especially.  Emily was delighted to be "way up high in the air" and Adara charmed our flightmates with her big smiles.  (If only the girls would sleep at other people's houses, they would really be A+ travelers... sigh.)  While waiting to board our flight on the way home, Alasdair & I were laughing about something not all that funny (like you do when you are sleep deprived!) and the ladies sitting across from us commented on how great it was that we could laugh together, especially in a stressful situation.  

Emily attached herself quickly to "my cousin named Alexa" - which is why we apparently didn't manage to get any pictures of her with her great grandparents.  Darn!  We were trying not to obsess over photos -- which I think overall is a good thing, but we did miss some things - including the presence of Megan, Aunt Jill, Isabella, Taylor & Dalton, and Felix.  Sorry guys! :(

Grandpa Jim doesn't see very well, but he could tell when Adara was flashing her giant grins - which she did most of the time he was holding her.  They got along very well.  

 Adara loved the bright colors on Grandma's shirt.



The time Emily didn't spent following Alexa around, she spent sitting by the pool "fishing".  She also got a lot better at swimming, making it all the way across the pool (with swimmies).  


Looking forward to all the trouble these girls will cause together!  

 At dinner one night, Emily separated the onion from her burger and made bracelets.

Uncle Brian was great with the girls.
