We went to the zoo! Did you know sloths only have muscles that pull. They can't push on anything. That's why they are most comfortable hanging upside down from trees!

Kaleb and Ruger on the boat to see the monkeys.

We were spoiled on Christmas with everyone's gifts. We are very grateful for ALL of them! :) Ruger sure was content that day playing with his new toys. He hardly made peep all day.

Isn't it great how excited the little ones get over simple things such as a blanket? He ripped it out of the package and immediately laid on it to give it a try.

Jim has been working hard on writing more books and making YouTube videos to advertise those books. This a before and after shot of the picture he used on his latest video. Pretty impressive, I thought. Although, you get the "after and before" version. Ooops.

This is more of our Christmas Eve beach day. Ruger really loved playing with Kaleb. Kaleb would throw the frisbee into the shallow waves and Ruger would run to go get it. Ruger followed him everywhere, just watching to see what Kaleb would do next. And let's be serious....can I really get any bigger? Isn't it time for the baby to come out now? Please?

Christmas, New Years, and Visitors!

We have a lot of catching up to do. Here are some of the things we have been doing:

We went to the beach for Christmas Eve. We tried to recreate last year's Christmas card, but this is what we got from Ruger. O-well. :)

This is Ruger showing Grandma something neat.

We watched fireworks over the Naples pier for New Year's Eve. Very fun.

Jim has loved having someone to play tennis with. Kaleb and he have played several games.

Ruger got a little tired at one of our trips to the beach. Not many kids would admit being tired when they could be playing in sand, shells, and water. I'm not sure what to think of that...

Kaleb took us out to eat while we waited for the paper work his new car.

We took a walk through the Picayune Strand. It was probably the most rustic/woodsy place Jim and I have been since we've been in Florida. The swamp just isn't a place that I am comfortable trudging through without knowing what's ahead. Who knows what we might run into--aligators, over grown pythons, wild hogs, etc.

The first day Kaleb got here, we went to the pier. Unfortunately, it was as cold here as it was in Blackfoot that day. Ruger sure was in for a surprise.
