Kids!

It sure was great weekend last weekend - the Baby Shower, Heather & Alan home, having the whole family together!!!

Looking at this picture, it is hard to believe they are become mature, responsible young adults - but definitely still my babies! Heather still twirling and Justin still drumming - both of them fighting - now look at them!! Where did the time go? Too bad these moments only happen a couple times a year - who knows, maybe Heather and Alan will get bit by the Florida bug this visit!!

Charlee always having fun, being silly on Pap's chair! She enjoyed having Aunt Heather and Uncle Alan visit!
Prissi just relaxed on the lanai - wondering where did all these people come from and when does she get peace and quiet again!!

The weather has been great - Fay brought us a lot of rain, little bit of wind - but that's the fun of living in Florida - I guess it is better than snow!!

My birthday is coming soon - I think Dave and I will be heading to Key West for a day or two just to get away a bit! Hard to believe I'm turning just 22! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Well, that's it for now - just wanted to let everyone know what's goin on!!!

Love,
Cheryl

Baby Shower!!

The baby shower is over and now the anxious wait begins!! We had a beautiful baby shower for Justin and Krista on Saturday - there were about 30 people there. We had it at Mixon Fruit Farms in Bradenton. It was a perfect place for the shower - they even have a gazebo for weddings and a butterfly sanctuary and a beautiful koi pond. They even typed on their Marquis - "Who's having a baby? The Letner's, That's Who! Congratulations and Welcome to the Letner Baby Shower!" That was so cool! You can check out all the pictures on the Baby Shower online album - link is on the left here!

This is the diaper cake Heather and I made for the shower. These are so much fun to make!!



We had some great food and lots of fun, and most important, they got lots of great gifts! Krista looked glowing and Justin was just as proud as could be!





You just gotta love this little one - we do! She even got presents of her own and she is so excited to have a Little sister!


Heather and Alan came down to visit for the shower- Dave even got into the fun - Heather is measuring Dave's belly to compare it to Krista's for the Guess Krista's Belly Size game!! lol - he's such a good sport!!

Best of all - we were all together - this is such an awesome family picture and I am going to frame this one for sure!!!

Now - to wait for the baby! She is due October 19th, but i wouldn't be surprised if she comes early! Poor Krista is huge already! Did you all know she is going to Beauty School?!! She is so creatively talented and I know she is going to do really good!!

So - what else is going on? Heather & Alan are still doing good and living in Raccoon Twp. Heather starts Medical Transcription school in September so she can work from home and eventully start their family - she'll do real well - after all, she has a good mentor - me! I wish more than anything they would move down here - we hate when they have to leave to go home. We did have some fun at the beach on Sunday - the left early this morning.

We are sitting here today awaiting hurricane Fay - should be a fun evening and day tomorrow! I'll try to remember to take pictures and put them on here.

Hope all is well with everyone!!
Love,

The Miracle of Technology

Hello Everyone! I have been so negligent to my blog!! I have been so busy getting ready for the Baby Shower (which is next week), that I haven't taken any time to blog!! We are all doing good here in Florida - experiencing typical summer weather with hot days and rain in the evenings!

Krista is doing very well with her pregnancy - she is about 30 weeks right now and doing good - she's just glowing - although she'll tell you otherwise - poor thing - her belly is so stretched! They went for a 3D/4D ultrasound this past Monday - I got to be there - look at what we saw:

Is this amazing or what? Look at her - she is Precious!! She definitely has Justin's nose and his full/pouty little lips!! She looks so peaceful and content! I cannot wait to hold her!! Krista is due on October 19th.

Not much other news, except I am finally back to work after almost 3 months being laid off! Thank God! Dave keeps busy with work - nothing new there! Heather and Alan are doing good - Heather is getting ready to start medical transcription school - she'll do real good with that!

Little Charlee is such a little Princess!! She did not have "Terrible Twos" but I'll tell ya - she is making up for it now!! You just have to Love her!! I know we do! Check out "Pap" - they were making things with these little foam peanuts - they made headbands, crowns and frisbees! AWWW Pap!

I just had to share this picture - this is one of the birds that comes around our lanai daily to eat from our birdfeeder - I believe they are sand hill cranes, I call them the Redheads!

So, that's the news from us here in Florida!! I'll definitely post again after the shower next week!

Love,

Cheryl
