together!

a couple weeks ago, we picked my brother up from the airport and met my parents and sister in orlando.  it has been almost three years since my mom has had all three of her children in the same room.  she was more than a little excited to have us all together for four straight days.

we spent two of the days at sea world.  it was incredible.  the boys loved it almost as much as i did!  ezra has been going through a walrus phase (don't ask, my kids don't go through normal kid phases) and was really psyched about seeing one. gabe couldn't wait to ride the "kid coaster".  in the end, all three boys flipped out for two days straight over all of the creatures while the adults watched and giggled over their excitement.

for the last day, heather, jared, steve and i went to the wizarding world of harry potter!  it was so much fun, especially getting to go with the biggest harry potter nerd i know.  it was definitely worth waiting all this time to have her there with me.

it was such a precious time for our family, knowing that heather will be leaving again soon to teach in taiwan and it may be quite some time before we are all together again.
