Disney Resort Getaway

On Thursday and Friday last week we took the kids to the Disney All Star Movies Resort to have some fun family time. There are beautiful pools, a playground, a restaurant and lots of huge Disney characters to get pictures by. We wanted to take advantage of living so close to Disney, get a Florida resident discount and have some relaxing and fun family time before life gets crazy in a couple weeks. Our section of the hotel was the Toy Story theme. Grant just loved seeing the characters all over our hotel room and outside the entrance. He called them "the buddies" because of a book we have that says "Buzz and Woody - Good buddies."

We were able to swim for about an hour after we got there before the storm came. That was fine because we were hungry for supper, and the kids were able to play on the playground before it started to rain. The next morning we were in the pools shortly after 8:00 and were able to swim for a couple hours before we had to check out. The boys were completely exhausted and fell asleep after only a few minutes on the road and slept almost the whole way home.

Only a Few More Weeks!

Wow, time is flying by! Only about 3 more weeks before Baby Terpstra should be arriving. Yikes! I have a lot to do before then! I'm sure it will all get done with my strong nesting instincts kicking in. I'm still feeling pretty good - just a little uncomfortable at times. My mom is flying in at the end of May so she can stay with the boys while I'm in the hospital. I'm glad she'll be around to help out and see the baby.

We're still planning on moving on June 17, and Spencer is still job searching, with a few resumes out there right now. We're just praying the God leads Spencer to the job where he can use his gifts to glorify Him. We have a lot of big changes coming up, so please keep our family in your prayers. In the mean time, we're trying to make the most of our last few weeks in Florida.

A Fun Week With Visitors

My sister, Brigit, and my nephew, Max, flew down here for a visit last week. We had a lot of fun with them and were really glad they were able to come. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had together.

We took the kids to The Hands of Children's Museum in Jacksonville. Brendan had fun in the post office, and Grant's favorite part was "shooting hoops" with Daddy.

We went to the beach in St. Augustine for a couple hours one evening, and the kids had a blast running through the waves.
