Don't you wish you were here...........

It is winter all over where we are originally from. Both my parents and Joshua's parents are bundled up, looking out their living room windows at a lot of snow. All of our friends in North Carolina may not have snow but they have broken out the hats and gloves and coats. Truth be told, we miss all of that. We miss having four ACTUAL seasons. But when I talk to my mother or mother-in-law, they always say that they wish they were here. Here! In South Florida! I will admit, though, I do like not having to dress 5 children in coats, hats, gloves, boots and all other winter attire every time they decide they want to go outside. Here, we have two seasons. HOT and HOTTER! We have one wardrobe. Shorts and T-Shirts for everyone, a few pairs of jeans and one or two sweaters or jackets (just in case). So, while family and friends up North are running your heat, this is what we are doing......................................................
And yes, none of the kids are wearing shoes. I think they have forgotten what shoes are for.....

We actually saw the upper 50's this past week. I think I'll stay here! But we are getting ready to have our annual after-the-show-melts mud fest!

Love you and miss you!

Yes, the weather outside can be frightful (the driveway is much worse!!!!) BUT in between the rain, snow and sleet we have had moments of warm sunshine....
wish we could send some snowballs (or put them in the luguage)(sp)...so much for being a college student!)
oh well, it's nice to see the kids without the extras, poor Penelope looks like mummy!
love you all!
