Kirk and I were so excited to have Ben, Nicki, and Bella visit us in Ormond Beach. The weather in Wisconsin had been fairly frigid and probably one of the worst Winter's on record, so we know they were ready for some warmer weather. Well, they did get warmer weather, but it was cool to cold here almost the entire time they were here. We did have one or two "nice" afternoons. Bella just turned one year old on the 11th. She is walking and making all kinds of sounds and several words. She's absolutely beautiful!!...and fun! She's got a smile that will melt your heart and wrap you around her little finger. While they were here we did manage to go several places despite the cooler weather. We went to St Augustine (remember, it's the oldest town in the nation) and explored the unique shops there, then ate lunch at the Columbia restaurant. Bella got to see the mannatee's at Blue Springs State Park, and pet a snake (among other animals) at the Sanford Zoo. We walked on the beach at the Boardwalk on Daytona Beach, and even though it was cold, Nicki went barefoot in the sand. Regardless of what we did and were not able to do, we had a great time just having them here and being able to visit and hang out with them. I know it may have been a little cramped for all of us, but I hope they didn't mind. We loved having them close. I hated to see them go. Love you guys! Oh yeah, Bella got a second tooth which she proudly displayed in the top picture.
