Oh yes. We arrived at Meredith’s home last night around 7:15.
And this boy greeted us. He and Uncle Don met for the first time. It was love at first sight.
Blurry, and I look scary, but Don snapped this photo of Little Z and me last night. (That’s my brother-in-law in the background.)
He’s a joyful boy. He makes me laugh. I make him laugh. What could be better?
It’s so nice being with family. As Don keeps saying, “I can’t believe I’m actually having a vacation.”
We’re going out to breakfast this morning and then Don and I are going to visit the beach for some sand and sea.
Happy Friday.
Just look at all the ‘happy’ in that picture! Enjoy – family, sun, and sand in the coming days.
We will. Thank you, Regina!
Enjoy the beach, soak in the sun and have so much fun! You both deserve it?
Thank you, Vicki!
Yay!! Enjoy your time there. Have fun, laugh, relax, nap, read, etc. Then do it all again.
We are, Vera!
The love and the joy! My heart is so happy for you and Don this morning! I know the smiles that a little one can bring! Enjoy the beach and let this time with family help you heal. Big Hugs!!

Have a safe trip, Sheila!
A happy reunion! And now Little Z has a new buddy in Don. You both deserve the sun and the fun.
We’re finally relaxing, Wendy. Thank you.
Just a beautiful picture. So glad you are on vacation…. you both needed the trip. And to incorporate being with family as well is just one more wonderful ingredient added to the recipe. Hoping that it will indeed bring you much peace and happiness! Time to breathe!!
Our shoulders are finally dropping, Chris. Thank you!
Here’s to sand to your toes, and to soaking up a ton of Florida sunshine! And thinking about NOTHING for a change. Try to just zone-out for a while – it can be amazingly recuperative. Enjoy! ☀️ ?
Just came back from the beach and it was heavenly, Janet!
There is nothing like laughing with loved ones to fill the soul with happiness. It is good to see you so happy. You and Don needed this.
We really did, Teresa. Thank you!
Aw enjoy your time my friend you both deserve it :)
Thanks, Dawn. We’re really enjoying the sun, sand and our family.

Thanks, Barbara!
Big happy smiles here! I know you are excited but the joy of a boy! What a gift for all of you.
He is a joy!
Ever since your sister and family have had Little Z, I have been following his every move that she reports!! He is the cutest and has a wonderful family to love and nurture him. He just doesn’t know what a truly blessed little boy he is!! Have a wonderful time at the beach!
He is the best, Karen. We’re all in love with him.
Did you happen to see any phlox in bloom on your way down? The roadsides are so colorful right now, and it’s beautiful. Not to mention the azaleas are starting to open too.
Didn’t notice any, Bridget.
That photo of you and Little Z is priceless. Absolute pure joy on both of your faces. I didn’t realize he and Don had never met! Have a great time tomorrow at the beach – bliss!
Don is officially besotted, Melanie!
I hope you & Don & your family have a wonderful time together! Enjoy every minute!
Thank you, Debbie!
