Florida Fun, 1st Edition

We're here, and of course having fun! Yesterday we spent the day with my dad (Papa)...We went to Orlando for the moving sale of a huge christian bookstore where everything was supposedly 75-80% off. When we got there, it was already closed. Alana already had "bookstore" on the brain, so we went to Borders instead, followed by...wait for it...The Cheesecake Factory! Mmm...Baja Chicken Tacos...Oh sorry, where was I? Ah yes, so when we returned to the L.C. we headed over to play on the new playground at Papa's church while he ran off bulletins. Once the were printing (as the pictures prove), Alana got Papa on the playground with her :)

Searching for Pirate Treasures

In case you're wondering...
Papa did go down this slide after Alana :)

Swing me HIGHER, Papa!

Showing off her new "Fairy Land" book that Papa got her yesterday.

Alana's "poster child"

Aunt Jessica brought this craft to Alana...She cut and glued the hair and eyes...colored the clothes...And ta-dah! Now we have Alana on the refrigerator :) Grandma Nancy is a kindergarten teacher, so fun things like this are to be expected. Alana's attention span still needs a little work, so this literally took us all day to finish on Wednesday...ok, it seemed like all day :)

While I'm having a great time here, I miss Justin terribly...AND I got a completely depressing phone call last night from Melissa saying that they are moving back to Seattle on the 1st. This pains me. We won't be back until like 9 p.m. on the 30th...they leave at 6 a.m. on the 1st. Do the math. This means we will not see them again. Remember my post from Jonah's birthday? Yeah, Virginia will not be the same without the Knausses. So goes the military life. But I know they will be a part of our lives forever...
