First day in Florida

Well, since we didn't get in until late last night, we slept in a bit this morning. (As much as one can sleep in with two boys under 4 who wake when they see the sun) We had breakfast here at our hotel and then headed out. We decided to take it easy today. We went to Downtown Disney and walked around a bit. Luke LOVED the Lego Store and Ben didn't really love anything except the ginormous lollipop we got him to bribe him into the stroller. :-) We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe which everyone enjoyed and then we just shopped a little more before heading back to the hotel.

This is where the highlight of Luke's trip comes in...you see, our son just LOVES hotels. He doesn't care a thing about the rest of the trip, just the hotel. The entire way down here that was all he asked about and since we have been here he doesn't want to go ANYWHERE else. We tried explaining Disney to him and he could care less, the hotel has a big cozy bed, a pool, and a tv and he is content! I guess we could learn a little from him. So Howard took the boys swimming (yes for my friends in Pennsylvania, swimming, in an outdoor pool in March!) I cannot swim yet as my incision is still healing so I got to relax for a few minutes in the room before going down to watch their swimming tricks.

Then we went to dinner at the IHOP outside of our hotel and came back. Now the boys are both asleep and we are relaxing with some wine! I would say it has been a good day! I am missing Isaac and Asher just as much, but somehow the sunshine makes it a little easier to cope, I know they would have enjoyed the day as well.

Tomorrow we are planning on heading out to Animal Kingdom. It is a smaller (smaller than the Magic Kingdom anyhow) park and the boys just love animals so we can't wait! Luke just wants to swim! So, we will see how that goes. :-) We are such mean parents!

Well, I am off to relax with my husband! Thank you all for your continued prayer!

Also, as for the prayer requests from before:

Please continue to pray for Joshua's family as they begin healing. The world can seem so cruel when your children head to Heaven before you do. Pray that they too get the time to grieve and spend time with their daughter who is also having a tough time of things.

AND

Eva was born this morning at 8:47. Her mom asks that we pray for her health and especially for her breathing. Please pray that they are able to show her all the love they have for as long as God allows.
