Friends, Family, and DISNEY!

Nine Months has come and gone quickly. Here is an update on our last month.
Sawyer's teeth keep sprouting. He loves to grind his teeth....which makes me nuts! He is moving well, and has a partial crawl. He is very good at crawling backwards, but can't seem to figure out forward yet. He loves to pull himself up on things and stand. We had quite a social month. We finally got a change to catch up with our friends the Schuttes. Here are the Schutte kids snuggling with Sawyer bug. Our mutual friend Denny came in from Minnesota and we had a mini Miami reunion. It is always so great to catch up with good friends.


We had a family birthday party and cousins Reece and Sawyer were able to play.
Emmerson's third birthday was a hoot. This is Sawyer, Lola and Kendall...all good friends born within 6 weeks of each other.
The future Mrs. Szynkowski =)

Florida!

We started our trip to Orlando by staying with our college friend Craig. He has this great house and a boat with lake access. He and his girlfriend Nicole took us out on a tour of the lake and showed us how amazing it is to live in a warm weather climate. We also were fortunate enough to visit with Scott and Sarah Barker, other college friends who live in Orlando. Scott took Jason fishing twice and he was in hog heaven. We loved it so much that we are seriously entertaining the idea of living in Fl.


The entire motivation to go to Orlando was my sister Meredith's idea. She has been anticipating the Harry Potter exhibit at Universal for years. So the Wheelis, Szynkowski and Thompson family joined in together on what proved to be a wonderful time.


These boys are the cutest cousins ever!

This was one of our favorite parts about the exhibit. The food was great. They had butter beer, pumpkin juice, and real actual lagers available it this realistic setting.

Just before we left...we got this great pic of the whole family.
We took a day trip to Cocoa Beach for some sun and fun. We stopped at this yummy restaurant Grills in the shipping district. It had delicious food like fish tacos, shrimp and more.

I have a few hundred other photos from the trip, but could not post them all. My brother in law Kevin also just got a fabulous Cannon and turned me on to some new photography techniqes I hope to try. We will see if the photo bug in in my blood.
