Kyle in the Snow

This was Adam's first time out with Kyle this year after it snowed...a lot! Of course, what did he like to do the most? EAT IT!!! Don't worry, we checked. It was white snow. :)

What's new around here in 2010

So no pics to post...unless I find some in the camera that I forgot I'd taken. Lots happening since we rang in the New Year. We keep rearranging the house, moving stuff, sending stuff out, packing too-small clothes away, etc. But the newest is not only Kyle's cute and sophisticated glasses, but his eye patch he has to wear. Adam and I were pretty much dreading it and worried how he would react, but so-far, so-good. He has been a good sport, even though the vision out of his left eye is VERY weak. For instance, he went to go turn the t.v. off, which he knows where the button is, and it took him a minute to search for it, then gave up and moved on because he couldn't find it. It was very heart-breaking. But we know that him wearing this may help in strengthening his eye so that he hopefully won't need surgery. Any prayers you could throw our way would be great! Besides that, it has been so fun to see him learn and grow. Tonight he sat and did puzzle after puzzle with me. He is such a joy to be around. So, now I'll work on taking pics to post.

Sea World

OK, so the pictures aren't too exciting... Shamu!!!!!! He's older than me! I saw him years ago when I was 6. It was a nice, sunny day at Sea World. We enjoyed all the attractions...while Kyle slept in his stroller for over 3 hours. He sure was tired from Disney the day before! He still saw a ton when he was awake and enjoyed the shows we saw! It was too funny...he thought the lady swimming with the dolphins was getting hurt and started to almost cry. As soon as he knew it was giving her a kiss, he laughed it off!

Adam and Kyle's First Time to Disney World!

Dancing in the streets during the Move It, Shake it, Celebrate It Parade. Making a wish at Snow White's Wishing Well. We love Pluto! Spinning on the tea cup ride! At the Christmas Parade. on the It's A Small World Ride Kyle was sleeping when Pluto went by... on the boat ride. It was a cool day, but sunny and extremely crowded at Disney! But we still managed to go on a ton of rides, which Kyle is still talking and asking to go on to this day, and saw two parades also! It was a lot of fun! It brought back a lot of memories from going with my family when I was little! Kyle's favorite was "It's a Small World" ride and his favorite character is Pluto!

Swimming in Florida

Although it was chilly, we had a heated pool at the house we rented...so we weren't shy. Kyle loved doing the "polar bear", or in this case jumping from the hot tub into the cool pool. And he had no bathing suit that fit, and Wal-mart in Florida didn't have any, so the swimmy diapers worked just fine!

Painting the Toes...

While we were in Florida, I painted my toes in hopes to wear flip flops or sandals every day...well, that never happened...but Kyle wanted to join in on the fun. This was hopefully the one and only time in his life that his toes will be painted...but here he is checking them out.

Florida and Oranges...

just go together. So, why have I been to Florida sooo many times and never gone and picked oranges? Well, we did! It was pretty cold. Maybe about 50ish out, but the sun was shining and we attempted to pick oranges at a grove near the house we rented outside Orlando. We discovered that picking oranges is a lot more difficult than picking apples...and can be about just as cold. We still had fun, though...and enjoyed eating them, too!
