Loving South Florida!

The sunshine has came out of hiding and the temperature is warming up even to the point of being HOT! It is beautiful here and we are all enjoying everything from meeting new people, delicious food in the cafeteria and Spirit-filled services! We went down to the beach yesterday and took some great pics. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and Caleb got his first taste of the beach-literally! No sooner had we sat him down and his sand-filled fist was in his mouth! Caleb has also chosen to say his first word and I am PROUD to say that it is "Ma-Ma"!! It is so sweet and now daddy is working on teaching him "Da-Da"! LOL!! He turned 7 months today and we took some really cute pics that I will post.
Becca, Ben and Abby have all made new friends and are enjoying the Children's services taught by Sis. Black. We are all enjoying this relaxing, fun time! Now for the pics.....

Ben and Becca grin from the backseat of
our stuffed-to-the-gills van!

Caleb let us know his distress after a long stretch of
driving! (We found out later that he had filled
his diaper!) Poor guy!
We stopped at a restaurant called Davy Crocket's
in Tennessee. They had kids meals for FREE!
Caleb got his first taste of a french fry! He loved it!

Even on the road school work must be done-
much to our kids disgust!

Ben made this poster come to life at the Florida
Welcome Center! He is our family comedian!
We FINALLY make it to FLORIDA after hours
of driving ! Abby did not think we would ever make it!
We enjoyed an all-you-can-eat special at Big Apple
pizza here at Hobe Sound. You can see the pizza
was huge slices and very good!

The kids getting ready to go down and see the
Blowing Rocks.
Danny and the kids in front of the beautiful ocean.
It was very choppy when we there there!
Me and the kids........

Caleb modeling his new cute hat that I found at
the great Thrift Shop here for .25 !

Becca found a soft, squishy pillow for .25 also
and Caleb LOVES it!

Sweet pic of our 4 stinkers!

Abby in the courtyard beside the water fountain.
It is very pretty! She had a flower in her hair
that she picked growing by the building we are
staying in.

Caleb being introduced to his first beach experience!


Our kids with Kaelynn and Rebecca Himelick.
They have enjoyed playing with them this week!
And we have enjoyed visiting with their parents
Eric and Rachelle. We are all Hoosiers!
Our sweet 7 month old!
Sampling a new biter biscuit that our Walmart
does not carry in IN. He approved.....MMMmm!
Please pray for us as we are checking out job and housing opportunities while we here that God will lead us to what He has in mind for our family! We are definitely ready to become Floridians!
Just a matter of time!

Hey, Liz, Becca is almost as tall as you in the pic at the top ofthe page. I wish we could have held off for a few days and been there for camp and to visit with you all. It looks like you had a good time in the south. Keep heading for your field of service, you guys are an inspiration.
