WE ARE BACK AND BRACING OURSELVES FOR AN OKLAHOMA STORM

CALEB IN THE HEATED OUTDOOR POOL:)
LOUIS AND JOJO TAKING A BREAK AND HAVING LUNCH AT DISNEYWORLD.

THERE IS HOPE IN THE ERGO... CAN YOU SEE HER? I KNOW, I WANT TO POST PICTURES OF HER TOO:) ... CALEB CHOOSE TO SKIP DISNEY AND GO GOLFING A 2ND DAY WITH GRANDPA... I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE CRAZY, BUT THAT IS SO CALEB. HE IS ALL ABOUT ANY SPORT.

CAN YOU SEE THAT TRUCK FILLED WITH ORANGES? WE TOOK A FIELD TRIP TO FLORIDA NATURAL'S FACTORY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF EDUCATION AND FREE SAMPLES OF THEIR DIFFERENT ORANGES... YUMMY. DID YOU KNOW THAT IT TAKES 45 ORANGES TO MAKE A GALLON OF NATURAL OJ? THAT SURE SEEMED LIKE A LOT TO ME.

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA WITH THE KIDDOS, MINUS HOPE, BEFORE WE LEFT.

OK, WE ARE HOME, BUT REALLY I WISH I WAS STILL IN FLORIDA. WE ARE HOME JUST IN TIME FOR A NASTY STORM... THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH PREDICTING ICE BEFORE THE SNOW AND A GOOD CHANCE THAT WE COULD LOSE POWER. FUN:) WE ARE TRYING TO GET ORGANIZED AND UNPACK AS WELL AS PREPARE A LITTLE.

OUR HEARING IN COURT TOMORROW REGARDING HOPE IS A LITTLE UP IN THE AIR... TOTALLY UP IN THE AIR. THE COURTHOUSE IS CLOSED DOWN FOR TODAY ALREADY AND IS PLANNING ON REOPENING WEATHER PERMITTING. I JUST DON'T SEE US BRAVING THE ROADS FOR THE 3 HOUR DRIVE WHEN THEY DO NOTHING TO CARE FOR THEM, ESPECIALLY IF IT ICES. IT WOULD TAKE US FOREVER AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE SAFE. SO MOST LIKELY, IF THEY HAVE THE HEARING OUR ATTY WILL BE THERE TO REPRESENT US. PLEASE BE IN PRAYER FOR THAT IS YOU THINK OF IT, OTHERWISE IT WILL BE POSTPONED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. MORE WAITING... UGH:)

WE HAD AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TIME IN FLORIDA... BESIDES THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE KIDS GOT SICK... BAD COLDS. THE PLACE MY PARENTS WERE STAYING WAS SO NICE... ALTHOUGH I THINK WE WERE THE ONLY KIDS IN THE WHOLE PLACE. I WENT TO THE LINE DANCING CLASS WITH MY MOTHER, THAT WAS HILARIOUS. I AM NOT THE MOST COORDINATED AND THESE OLDER FOLKS COULD WIPE THE FLOOR WITH ME. I GOT A TOTAL KICK OUT OF WATCHING THEM.

WE SWAM, HIT DISNEY WORLD, AND DID A LOT OF RELAXING, MOURNED THE LOSS OF THE VIKINGS (AS WELL AS THE ABUSE OF BRETT FAVRE, MAN THAT GUY IS TOUGH), AND ENJOYED TIME WITH MY PARENTS. WE EVEN GOT TO SEE MY AUNT ADRIENNE AND UNCLE THOMAS FOR ONE NIGHT. THEY WERE COMING DOWN FOR THE NEXT WEEK WITH MY PARENTS.

AND THE RIDE HOME... OUR STOP IN GEORGIA WITH MY BLOG FRIENDS... SUCH AN AMAZING TREAT FOR ME, SUCH A GIFT FROM GOD.... THAT WILL BE MY NEXT POST... YEAH, THERE WILL BE PICTURES:)

SO HERE WE ARE THANKING GOD FOR MORE TIME WITH HOPE, SAFE TRAVEL FOR ME AND THE KIDS, WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BEING REUNITED WITH MY HUBBY...AND PRAYING MAYBE WE CAN SKIRT THE WORST OF THIS STORM:)
