Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Tobias, James, and I made it safely out to St. Francis, KS (as good as it gets) on Sunday after a long day. We woke up about 3am and were out of Jacksonville on the 6am flight to Denver. James did great on the flight. We only had about 10 minutes of a crying spell and that was it. Tobias and I worried the entire flight, of course!

We made it to Denver before 8am and were able to have breakfast and visit with Great-Grandma Leah. It was a great visit. I'll have to post pictures in a later post, I don't have that camera with me.
James slept the entire 3 hour drive to St. Francis, and we made it out to Tobias' farm about 6pm that night. We were so tired and thankful that we made it to the farm! What a day!

Jim, Tobias' dad and the person Sweet Baby James is named for, was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 2 weeks before James was born. Jim had his surgery on 11/15 and made it home on Monday evening. What a joy to see James with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Edie. Grandpa Jim is recovering and doing very well. The two James' have really bonded!



Today was an exciting first for our little Florida baby. The temperature got into the low 20s last night and we got about 1 inch of snow! Luckily, we're equipped for the cold weather!


We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

And welcome home from deployment Vince! We can't wait for your to meet James!

Fast as the Flash

The boys have a need for speed!  Recently James and Eli built Pine Wood derby cars to compete in the James' Boy Scout troop. In the beginning... We did some scholarly research to prepare.  Thank you YouTube! My step-dad, AKA Pawpaw was a big help and taught James to use power tools. Sanding is always fun! James designed and built his car with minimal assistance. Spray paint is always fun. Added weights to make it as heavy as the rules allowed. The finished products! The race was a lot of fun! James didn't win but he worked really hard and was really proud of his car. While his derby car wasn't the fastest, James was the fastest in a recent track race.  My future Olympic sprinter!   Zoom zoom zoom

M-I-C-K-E-Y and a bunch of other fun stuff

Everyone grab their Mickey Ears!  We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Walt Disney World.  We flew down to FL from MA, my sister and her beautiful family and my aunt and cousin all flew from CA, and my mom traveled from MO!   All 11 of us stayed in one beautiful villa right on the Walt Disney property and had a great time. We celebrated JillMama's 60th birthday in style.   We also celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday while in WDW! Everyone had a great time! We celebrated Halloween a little early at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!   Can you tell we're the Avengers!?!  Eli was the Incredible Hulk, Tobias was Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man), James was Captain America, and I was Black Widow. By the end of the night, the Incredible Hulk was done, but still really cute! Gabe (age 4) and James got along great! Elias and Gavin (also 2) were fast friends too. Fun times on a ride with my little man! Rrrr Matey!  ...

Winter in Boston

Happy February!  I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!   Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James!  There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!  James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break!  So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! This was a fun assignment for the entire family.  Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer.  We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together.  I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great! The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! My two cuti...
