After a long day in the car we arrived at our destination. We stayed with Thom and Tami. Tami is Kevin's cousin and they generously opened their home to us. It was wonderful to just be able to relax and spend time with Kevin's extended family.
On Friday and Saturday I spent the day with Kevin while we were at Daytona. It was interesting to say the least and I got a eye opening experience. :) Kevin, Larry (his uncle) and Thom spent all day Sunday at the race. The weather was beautiful the entire time we were down there. I can't believe the difference in weather between Illinois and Florida. WOW!!!









This picture is of her and her Nana (Aunt Colleen). She was getting ready for bed one evening. She had the flu while we were there, but she didn't care. She kept going and going. Never complaining one time. I learned (the best that I could) how to communicate with her in sign language. It was actually very interesting to watch her and her mommy communicate with sign language.

Juliana and her big sissy Kendra. We had just gotten back from the race and they were showing off for the camera!!
Juliana and her bags. She loves to carry around anything. I am not kidding you when I say this little girl does not stop. She loves to read, play with playdou and do anything that anyone else does. She is on the go 24/7!!

I only have one picture of Tami but I think she would kill me if I put it on here for the world to see, but I did want to say thanks to Thom and Tami for opening their home to us for a week. Tami, you taught me so much when it comes to parenting! Your children are wonderful and they were so fun to be with! Juliana is such an angel. All that you have done for her to have a normal life is amazing. Thanks again for opening your home to us! We had a blast and can't wait till next year...if I can leave my kids for a week...I will let you know on that one. Can't wait to see you this summer!!

I am finally going to leave you a message here. We had such a great time with you and Kevin. Kendra is already asking about the race next year. Maybe you could even bring the kids down with you.
I am really looking forward to seeing you all this summer. The kids will have a great time together.
p.s. It is a little windy today. I think we may have a "turricaine".
