Back in FL

Spent the last few moments of grand kid fix in Portland then flew down to Orlando and drove to Venice where we are still unpacking the fifth wheel.

Here's the sleep deprived dad holding the reason who is wearing grandma Teri's latest hat.

And here's mom recording the moment.  It was the first attempt at a new design, so he'll have to grow a bit to fit it.  Teri was literally knitting up to the last minute.

First we had to get the photo of Louis holding his head up.  We have the same photo of all the kids and grand kids; sort of a ritual and an interesting way to note the differences/similarities.
Earlier we had a bit of project time for dad, Louis and Nina.

Before that, Nina was taking pictures (with her new camera) of baby panda "Jack" who has graduated to pull ups.

So that wraps up this session in Portland.  Next grand kid fix when the Soden family comes down to visit in a few weeks.  After that we'll go back to Tallahassee for the month of Feb before we head out again.  Looking forward to seeing some of Molly's soccer games and showing the grand kids the fine art of fishing.  Like which donut to eat first to insure success.

Cold down here, only forecasted to reach 56 tomorrow; we'll suffer through the "coldest it has been so far this year", somehow.  Suck it up Alaska.

Stay warm.
