    You vacation looked really nice. I could use some prayers. I fell/slipped in our bathroom. I did the spilts. I’m 53 and have MS and Fibro and doing the splits isn’t in my current range of activities. Currently hard to sit and stand. Laying down is the best, but not great either. I would so appreciate your prayers!!

We live in the mountains of Southern California and it’s going to get down to 12 degrees, so I’m a little jealous. 😊 Hope everyone is feeling better. Congratulations on selling the pictures!

    I so enjoyed watching your trip to Ana Maria Island in my home state of Florida. I loved seeing your son's joy of seeing the pelican and his sheer exhilaration in the Gulf waters. We live in Cape Coral, Florida about 2 hours south of where you visited. Our town is still recovering from the direct hit from Hurricane Ian. We have lived here for 16 years and Ian was the first bad hurricane we experienced. Thanks be to God!!!

    Thank you for introducing us to Anna Marie Island. It looks like a great place to visit.The photos you took of the Air B&B were so beautiful , no wonder the owner loved them and you were able to finance the rent. I hope she gets alot of business because of the photos. She thought of everything when prepping for families with children. I hope your family is on the road to recovery, its so disheartening when illness can ruin a vacation. I'm glad to see you and your sweet family again after the break from You Tube. It surely can be tiring and I'm happy to see a new Vlog.

    I'm crying right now. I miss home so much but after 59 years of living through Hurricanes I just couldn't do another storm. But oh yeah I miss the sand and the smell of the salty water more than I thought I did. My home town was directly hit by Ian last year. Seeing so many places on the beach completely wiped away I was devastated for my loved ones still there but glad they survived. While I do miss home I don't think I could deal with going back to see the destruction still being cleaned up if it ever gets cleaned up. Glad you loved the beaches in Florida.

    What a wonderful video for your family to look back upon and remember all the special moments you so beautifully caught on film - well done in spite of sicknesses! Some of my favorites "snaps" - Zander joyfully playing on the beach and in the water, his colorful face after eating the Superman ice cream lol, baby toes in the sun, beautiful family photos, gorgeous sunset and full beach shots, Lexi finally peacefully sleeping against Dad's chest on the plane, your beautiful pics of the little house & what a wonderfully thoughtful hostess she was! One of the most special (and definitely "enlarge & frame worthy") is the last shot of you holding Lexi up in the air, both of you smiling into each others' eyes with love - what a beautiful mother/daughter moment to treasure 🥰 Huge thanks to all of you for taking us along on your family trip - hope you are all feeling better. God's blessings!
