Happy 4th of July!!

Well, we hit the ground running when we got back from the conference a week and a half ago.  We've been weeding through the MANY houses that our realtor is sending us, and went and looked at a few last Thursday.  I kind of liked one, but Tim was not happy with all the cracks from settling.  None of us felt like we have found 'the one' yet.  I've also spent almost as many hours on looking for a 2nd vehicle.  I went on Wednesday to look at one and it was exactly what we've been looking for, but the dealer wouldn't let us take it to a mechanic to have it checked out....hmmm...I wonder why??  So much for that one!  Our main criteria is:  1) Minivan  2) We'd like it to be under 80,000 miles  3) Around the size of an Odyssey, a Town & Country, a Sienna, or a Grand Caravan (not something small like a Caravan Sport - our Mazda5 is too small for us - we don't need another too small vehicle!)  4) Under $8000   Our smaller criteria would be 1) Stow and go  2) 8 passengers  3) DVD   I think that's it.  I really thought it wouldn't be that hard to find this, but it is proving much more difficult than I imagined!  So - that's been a huge time consumer over the past few weeks.

We never made it down to Port Charlotte for Father's Day since we were leaving the next day for Dallas and had too many things to take care of that day.  So we went down yesterday and had a lovely visit as usual.  We did the all American burgers and corn on the cob for dinner, and while I forgot to take pictures of that, I did sneak in a picture of Tim and my mom and Nicholas playing rummy, and then Nicholas trying to make friends with their cat, Bailey (see below):
Here are some pictures of us taking some time with Tim on Father's Day:

Last week there was a beautiful sunset that Nicole and I just had to go down to the water here at the Perrella's and watch.  She grabbed her camera and snapped this shot.  Isn't it gorgeous??  Like I said, this week has been pretty busy.  The Perrella's were gone on vacation so we took care of their awesome dog, Dorgy (not sure if that is the correct spelling but isn't that a great name for a dog?).  Today we cleaned their house like we've been wanting to do for awhile now but haven't seemed to find the time.  And then this Thursday we are going to house sit for some former IBM co-workers of mine in Tampa for 10 days, and then we're house sitting for our former baby sitter's parents in Litha for 10 days.  We were REALLY hoping to have a 2nd vehicle by the time we did all this house sitting... we still have a few more days to go - maybe we'll find something before Thursday!  Either way, we know the Lord's timing is perfect, so we don't mind waiting on Him.  Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!!  Blessings to all!

    Tim and Jodie have been married since Nov. 5, 1988.  Tim is a retired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and retired city of Tampa Firefighter.   Jodie is a happily laid off IBM/AT&T 21 yr veteran employee. So I guess you can say they're both retired, but still super busy!  They have four wonderful children:  triplets Nathan, Nicole, and   Noah born 11/16/97 and Nicholas born 5/16/99.  Nathan is at Trinity College, Noah is at Florida Polytechnic University, and Nicole is at USF.  Nicholas is an EDM (electronic dance music) creator and hoping to make a living from that!  We love and are so proud of our kids!
