Weekend Getaway

Aaron & I were able to have a nice weekend getaway to Orange Beach, AL. We enjoyed relaxing & spending time with Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Garry. As always, they were very hospitable. Between their hospitality & the beautiful weather, it was difficult to leave. 

 The view from the 10th floor balcony. We loved sitting, listening to the waves, & looking for dolphins.

 Relaxing on the beach with a good book is one of my favorite things. 

 And we have proof that we entered the Gulf of Mexico :-)

 Garry & Aaron were able play a round of golf. 

 The high temperature when we were there was 78 degrees. It was quite a shock when we arrived at home to 29 degrees :( But it was great to see our children again:

A huge thank you to Marilyn & Garry for allowing us to escape for a weekend. Also, a big thanks to my parents for watching the kids. They had one crazy day with all of the cousins

Miss Hadassah is now 11 months

Haddie at 9 months

Although it was bitter cold outside, we managed to make a trip to the doctor's office for Hadassah's nine month well check-up. No shots this time, which is always a positive! She is 29.5" long (90th percentile), weighs 16 lbs 3 oz (8th percentile) & her head was in the 80th percentile. The doctor was again a bit concerned with the discrepancy between her height & weight. We had a conversation about her eating habits & he concluded that it might just be her body type. She has 8 teeth already & is working on more, chewing & drooling & chewing some more.

Hadassah's new favorite face to make. She curls her lip & wiggles her nose. It's hilarious to watch.

The boys enjoy splashing around with Hadassah in the bath.

The boys are also having so much fun with basketball season in full swing. They love every bit of it: going to practices, eating team meals, watching the games, & being one of "the guys".
