My explanation is that we went to Florida for vacation, then have been super busy since we got back and I feel like I'm just now catching up on my to-do list.
So, though I took (literally) over 250 pictures with my awesome new camera :) and I could detail every moment and happening of the trip, we'll just try to summarize it by saying …
it was an AMAZING vacation! Benjamin did great - he even earned himself the nickname "Super Trooper." In addition, all the attention from Aunt Mattie, grandparents and great-grandparents inspired him to discover his "inner ham" … and ham it up he did…
ALL!
WEEK!
LONG!
We even got to enjoy a few blissful hours at the beach … showing off our "Syracuse tans"...
discovering the utter awesomeness of the waves…
learning how fun it is to play in wet sand ...
and generally enjoying ourselves in every way possible!
But by far the highlight of the trip was watching Benjamin fall in love with the family who have loved him since before his birth! We love our life in NY and see the fingerprints of God's faithfulness to us in so many ways, but we will never get used to being so far away from our families!
