| | Well, I had half of a post typed up, but then I accidentally bumped the power switch on the computer and I lost it(My post that is). Oh well...We are in Florida and having a very enjoyable, busy, time. 
We left Friday morning around 7:00 in the morning and had smooth riding all day. the only trouble we had was finding a hotel. Mom thought it was exhausting, I thought it was kind of fun. A van of children and a Mom, two females in the front seat, (one being the expert navigator[me of course--although the 'expert' part is questionable ] ), a big(for us) city, and full hotels. Quite an adventure if you ask me. We did eventually find a hotel and had a nice night. We left around 9:30 the next day and drove til we got to Grandma's house around 7:00. The only mishap we had on Saturday was taking a wrong exit in Birmingham, but we got back o track very quickly. Our trip went veeery smooth--it could not have been better! I seriously think that the children have never been so well-behaved on a trip! Thank you to all of you who prayed!!
Since getting here we have been pretty busy. Sunday was church in the morning and evening, and in the afternoon Melody and I were at our friends Susan and Beth's house. Monday we(Susan and Beth D, Hannah R, Ashleigh H, Twila H and her children, Grandma, and our family) went to the beach!! We brought matching clothes and Twila took pictures of us girls. Thank you Twila!!!

 Ashleigh, Susan, and Me(Tanya)  A fun 'jump' shot   Pyramids are waaaay fun!    Friends   My little bro   Melody and Beth feeding the seagulls  Ashleigh  Mom's sandman     After we left the beach Grandma took us to Coldstone Creamery for ice cream. Yum!!!
  That night Melo spent the night with hannah and Beth at hannah's house, and Susan, Ashliegh and I were together at Susan's house. Talk about fun!! I don't know what the younger girls did, but we watched 'It's A Wonderful Life', then did some very girly things  (we painted our nails ), and then played Clue until 1:00. It was about 2:00 til we went to sleep though. The next morning was Sewing, so we had to get up at 7:00 and quickly dress and eat breakfast. We were kind of half asleep for a while. We were at sewing most of the day Tuesday. I actually got more sun holding babies and watching children outside Tuesday, then I did at the beach Monday! Tuesday afternoon Mom and I went into town for a chiropractic adjustment and some (not so)quick errands. Today we were helping Jessica most of the day. I was working on getting a song for her powerpoint...took a little while.  This afternoon mom, jessica, and I went into town for a while. By the time we got back it was time to get ready for church and have supper! Now we are home from church eating ice cream. Mom and Grandpa are over at Jessica and Justin's house helping them get it cleaned up so they can move in. I take that back--they just drove in. I ought to go as it is past 9:00. I'm sure we'll get more pictures, but the next few days promise to be busy, so you may not see them til we get back. Until then, bye! Smiling for Jesus, TanyaBeth EDIT: I found more pictures!!! Right now I am holding a peeping newborn chick. I tried to get some pictures of him(her?) too, but it was too dark in the back porch. I'll have to try again later.
Coming home from the beach
  Some of the children at sewing. They were so cute!    Well I'm still catching up on my sleep, so I'd better go. (Mom says to say that she says I must go to bed now! ) I am trying to decide whether I will set the alarm, or sleep til 9:00 like I did this morning. That was sooo nice. I haven't slept that late in forever. So I haven't decided whether I will be responsible and get up on time, or if I will be practical and catch up on my sleep.  Either way, I need to go. 'Night! ~TanyaBeth
