Family time

What is famiy time to you? Each family unit has their own idea of what family time should be. To some, it's as simple as watching something on TV as a family and to others, it's having a set day of the week to gather and share a meal. For us, it differs. Since Ryan works such an odd schedule, we take our family time when we can get it. It normally consists of taking a few days to just be away from home and disconnected from reality. This normally happens on his weekends off. We have done all of the following at one time or another in order to get some family time together:


  • Clearwater beach
  • Asheville, NC
  • Tampa/New Port Richey
  • Camping
  • Busch Gardens
  • Magic Kingdom
  • Epcot
  • Hollywood Studios
  • Animal Kingdom
  • Bonnet Creek Resort
  • Netflix weekends
As you can see, most of our family trips are within driving distance for us. We just need that time to get away. When we are in the mountains, we enjoy seeing his parents and hiking to waterfalls. When we are in central Florida, we normally head for one of the amusement parks or beaches. It doesn't matter what you do when you are spending family time together, the important thing is that you are disconnecting from the world and just enjoying each other. 

With that said, I am taking tomorrow off from the blog and will resume on Tuesday. Have a great break and I'll see you then. 

Love and blessings, 
Dawn

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

What Your City Walk Means You are thoughtful and contemplative. You enjoy spending time alone with your thoughts. You are generally confident and friendly with strangers. You are well mannered and sociable. Money is very important to you. You like to have lots of nice things... and you don't care if you're being greedy. You are curious about ideas. If you had the means, you'd like to explore the whole world. The City Walk Personality Test

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
