Epcot January 2018

Our trip to Epcot was John and Rachel's first time at Disney, and it was fun to experience that with them!

We rode rides before hitting the World Showcase, and just didn't happen to take much time taking pictures.

Lunch in Morocco, World Showcase.

There was a short line to meet Belle from Beauty and the Beast, so we got in it, and took our picture. Belle asked if we'd read any good books lately.

The Festival of Arts was going on, and there were fun exhibits set up all over, with art or music.

I was 16 weeks this day

That evening, we had dinner at Olive Garden, then Rachel and I worked on shirts for the guys while they went for a swim in the chilly pool. Mickey Mouse ears traced from an ice bucket and McDonalds coffee lid!

Speeding along the process in a classy way.

John and Rach come to Florida

Our good friends the Hauschilds came to see us for a week!

We celebrated their anniversary, explored Tallahassee, and went to Disney together!

We also made mouse ears for our trip to Disney World!

And John attended the class Carson teaches (check out the guy playing Solitare)

They befriended Tuck, who especially took to Rachel.

And after Disney World, we had some downtime watching movies.

We also went to Food Truck Thursday. We had real food and Tuck chewed on a stick.

Coming Soon...

Come July, the Bay family gets a little bit bigger. 

We are expecting a sweet miracle the summer! Can't believe it, doesn't feel real!

2009 Carson vs 2018 Carson

Just in case you were curious, those balloons tangle VERY easily. This was actually our second attempt at pictures. Our first was not a good experience. We were freezing, it was getting dark, and the wind picked up every time we tried to take a picture.

Tallahassee Snow

It snowed in Tallahassee! It was the first measurable snowfall in Tallahassee in about thirty years, so it was notable, even though we got less than an inch of snow on the ground. It snowed for a bit in the morning, just enough to cancel school, and push work back for a couple of hours. 

There wasn't enough to play in, but we took Tuck out just to let him see snow (he didn't appreciate it).

And this was a few days later, but I loved this sign.

Ringing in 2018

For New Year's, we had a few friends over, played games, ate snacky foods, and had a really low-key evening. We almost threw in the towel at about 10:30pm, but stuck it out until midnight, turning on the TV for the ball drop about thirty minutes before the calendars turned over!
