Well, we are so very fortunate to have family in sunny Florida to visit during the cold long winter up here. We all took a trip down there just after the new year to see my sister, Rosie, and her family (Joleigh, Jozlyn, Justin, and Doug), and my dad and Lisa. We also stopped in to see our good friend Jon and his cutie pie little girl Sydnie, one of Addie's best little friends. What a great trip! We really packed a lot in and had loads of fun...I think Rye's picture kind of sums up how we all felt after the whole trip...blissfully exhausted! While we were with Dad he took us on a trip via boat down to Key West, a first for me. We really had fun exploring the town, going to a butterfly sanctuary (which Addie loved, especially after Noni "helped" one to land on her with a little coaxing), visiting the southernmost spot in the US, eating, even swimming as you saw in one of the previous posts of our underwater baby! (despite the unusually cold temperatures down there...burrrrrr!) Thanks, Dad and Lisa...it was such a great memory with you!
While we were in Fl we also visited a bit with my cousin Sheila and her beautiful family (we really loved our evening with you all), my sister (despite her poorly timed sickness...I wish so much we could have been with you more...I love you!) and her lovely family, and a friendly dolphin. There is so much to say about this trip, but I will just let you see some pictures so you don't become board with a long post!

The sweet dolphin that came right up to us on Dad's boat! What a treat!

Wow, Sydnie sure does have that "Caldwell look" in my opinion. Sh eis beautiful! It looks like you all had a great time. I am a bit jealous of all of that wonderful sunshine!
love the pictures. looks like so much fun!
I love your kids so much. They are awesome, and you two as well.
Makes me want to be at the beach right now.
Crazy Fun! Your children are getting sooo BIG! I feel like I say that everytime.. but I can't believe it when I see pictures of Ryland..
They are getting really big! What a trip!
Please please frame that picture of Addie with the blue butterfly! It is gorgeous!
