Back to Ormond Beach

How wonderful it was to be back in Florida for the weekend and to spend time with our family -minus Allison & Brian : (

Tiffany & Silas exploring what all the Nabi can do

On Friday we arrived very early in the morn after taking the redeye, but it was worth it to be able to spend more time with our grandson, Silas!  He greeted us out in the driveway - jumping into our arms and calling out our names!  There's nothing like it!

Later Steve, John, Silas, and I met Tiffany on her lunch break at D.B. Pickles and Scott also joined us.  It was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the warm Florida sunshine and visit with the family.

He enjoyed the two kids' gadgets that I brought him -thanks to The Talk give away I had attended a few weeks ago.

He would've been happy if we hadn't brought him anything, but it sure was fun to surprise him with these gifts.

On Saturday we spent the day with Natalie in Gainesville.  Thanks to a lot of help from family & friends we completed the big job of cleaning her furniture and moving it all to a storage unit for the summer (due to a mold problem in the house she was renting with three other girls.)  It was great being with her- just wish it could've been longer.

It was also good to see Kramer.  I miss him so much.  I wish he wasn't in such poor health and could come to California, too.  It was really hard to leave him on Sunday, but it's a relief that Tiffany & John take such good care of him.
