Forward facing car seat

In a big move last week, Nico is now forward facing! I've gotta admit that I wasn't quite ready for this move but she was way over the length restriction on the car seat and I was alerted to the danger of it, so it was time to move. Since Jason was out of town we stopped by a fire station so they could help me move it. Here's Nico being ever helpful!

She'll still fall asleep in the car! Yay!

Theater of the Sea locals show

The trainers had fancy new outfits this year! Nico loved watching the dolphins. Stay tuned for a series of Santa portraits from this year... We've visited with 4 so far and we'll see at least one more this week. Let's just say this is not the year for Santa. Poor guy has seen her dark side. 

The busy season

Things really start picking up down here as soon as the holidays come around. We've been to holiday fests, parties, musicals, and other events several times a week for the past couple of weeks. It's a lot of fun to be outside enjoying the slightly cooler 85 degree weather. Swimming lessons are still going strong too and we're trying to get as many in before we move as possible.

Baby group holiday party... There were 5 or 6 other kids that didn't fit in the picture. 

Checking out the new bike trailer which we scored for FREE!!

Have you heard?

Looks like we'll be heading back to Orlando pretty soon. We're in some negotiations now but praying everything clears up quickly and if not, we trust God to provide another home to raise Nico in. We certainly love this one though!

Little turkey

Sweetness.

Little Cookie Monster and Japanese Tourist

Nico's official Halloween outfit this year was a little cookie monster - she had a monster snack catcher to compliment her outfit filled with cookies. Then we happened upon this kimono which paired perfectly with four cameras around her neck to make a Japanese tourist. No offense to anybody :)
