Our First Miami Experience





Today we, along with Hannah's friend Brittney, went to Miami for the Miami Marathon. Almost 15,000 in attendance to race, but we were more interested in the sites. It was beautiful.

Notice the cruise ship in the background. We wanted to jump on it!

My beautiful baby looking at the ocean.
This was a huge fountain. We were so inspired by some of the runners. We've decided to run in next years Marathon for Team World Vision.

Learning to Ride


Bean Pie learned to ride her bike yesterday. After days of not wanting to, her new friend Brittney convinced her to take off the training wheels. She took right to it. No spills yet. Keep your fingers crossed.

New Friends



Hannah's made alot of new friends in the neighborhood. They are very sweet kids.

Hannah's New Teacher

Hannah had a great first couple of days at her new school Hidden Oaks Elementry. She loves her new teacher Mrs. Soto.

Starting to Adjust







This is The Lexi Show!!! My friend Alexis Alvarado invited me over to hang out yesterday January 9th. We had a blast! We ate some pizza, took pictures, and made our video. She's really starting to attach to me. She came here from Chicago 3 1/2 years ago. She told me that she is not quite used to it here either yet. She helped me realize that this will never replace my home. It's just my home away from home.

Our Journey Here

On our way to Florida we all decided that we'd been driving long enough and that we'd take a break. So, we ended up stopping at a steak'n'shake. Well, knowing my dad, he always has to make it a memorable moment. So, he decided to take one of Hannah's crayons and draw a picture. Well, thats how we came about pickle surfers! I thought this picture was just so entertaining I took a picture of it. I sent it to all my friends and they got a hoot out of it!

Lexi:)

Sunrise, sunset

The girls watch the sunset for the first time on the first day of our new life.

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

The girls found a coconut that fell out of the Palm Tree in the back yard.


After like an infinity of trying to pry the thing open...FINALLY! sweet victory.

Travelin' Pooch





Olivia did SOOO great traveling the 22 hours it took us to get here...probably because she's Amy's dog!

Just before we left




Just before we left (January 2)...saying goodbye to everybody. We love you all and miss you all and can't wait to see you all when you come down for a visit.


The Hardest Part

The hardest part about leaving Indiana. We all can't WAIT to see Emily in February!

Packin up the Truck


Having been in Florida for a week now...it's kinda funny to see all of us with coats on. It was a cold move and man am I glad it's over!
