On our drive home from Tampa, Amy and I stopped in Holiday to visit with Mom Mom & Leia, her birth grandmother and half sister. They are so sweet and loving. I am so happy that Amy gets grow up knowing and loving them.

Leia helped Amy make a bunny rabbit using her arts and crafts.

Amy and I drove to Tampa for a mini vacation during Mike's final stretch in Japan. We had so much fun staying with Kim and Mike. We went to the beach, the aquarium, the children's museum, and rode the trolley.

Again, Amy didn't like going into the ocean, so we brought the ocean to her.

Kim had lots of princess presents waiting for Amy when we got there.

She played dress up with clothes, shoes and jewelry all weekend.

We drove to Virginia Beach to visit with Uncle Dick & Aunt Carmond for

Labor Day weekend and had fun, fun, fun!
