the naples zoo.

We couldn't miss out on an opportunity to visit a new zoo! The Naples Zoo is beautiful and we enjoyed the perfect weather day.

On our boat ride around Monkey Island.

The view is much better from up there.

This quite possibly could have been her favorite part of the zoo--the playground. Ironic, huh?

a closer look.

Here's a closer look at our beautiful trip--wow, do I miss this already!

She loved chasing the birds!

The water was cold, but she loved it.

postponed.

We went for Cole's surgery this morning, but she began coughing and the anesthesiologist decided it was best to postpone the surgery. It will now be Friday, March 27th. Thank you for all of your prayers.

on hold.

It would seem that blogging is on hold for a bit.

I have two kids with fevers between 102 and 103. Please pray for their healing, but specifically for a quick recovery--Cole's eye surgery is scheduled for this Friday morning and we will have to cancel if something doesn't change soon.

I hope to have more pictures for you all this evening...but for now, instead of looking at pictures of the little cuties, can I ask that you'd please pause and pray for their little bodies?!

Thank you and bless you.

then and now.

Honeymoon...June 2003.

Vacation with 2 kids :)...February 2009.

I must admit we were a bit embarassed to post this. We weren't looking our finest in the most recent picture (inparticularly the guy who's wife begged him for a haircut:), but I guess that's more realistic with "2 kids".

a pool in paradise.

Aunt DeeAnn's pool was gorgeous and Cole LOVED the "big" pool! Camden really enjoyed the water and the cuddle time!

date night in style.

While in Florida, Mimi and Aunt DeeAnn sent us on a couple of hot dates. Whoever said driving a Porsche was just like driving any other car, has clearly never driven a Porsche! I think my hubby could've gotten pretty used to that! It really was incredible just to sit across the table from Brian and carry on a conversation! Thank you Mimi and Aunt DeeAnn!

just another day at the beach.
