We realized how much we've done in the last month and we haven't posted a single thing! So we're going to try to do it in chronological order, starting with our trip to Fort Lauderdale in November. Lori had to go for a work-related meeting so Ellie and I tagged along to enjoy the sunshine. We celebrated Lori's birthday while we were there and then flew home the day before Ellie's birthday. We had a very fun time and it was hard returning to the frozen north!
We took the train to the airport and it was Ellie's first really train ride. She loved it even though it was 5 am!
Waiting at the airport - she loved watching the planes taking off and landing.
Ready for take off
After an early morning and lots of excitement, Ellie starts to fade...
and then spent the rest of the plane trip sound asleep!
Back on land!
Ellie's favorite thing about our hotel room was the view of the ocean and the beach volleyball players. She loved watching them play and would yell, "Missed!" every time the ball hit the ground!
Having dinner on the bay
Lucky girl got to have Frosted Flakes for breakfast - a real treat after oatmeal at home everyday!
Ellie and Jana enjoying the clear, warm water
The little organizer arranged all the toys one afternoon in order of type and then bucket height.
We took a water taxi ride to check out the beautiful homes on the canal
Ellie slept the entire water taxi ride!
It was a challenge finding food that Ellie could eat at every restaurant and some places were more helpful than others. She ate a lot of turkey, tomatoes, and applesauce!
The great kids area that the hotel prepared every morning with lots of toys
Heading home!

It looks as though you guys had a really great time. Ellie looks like such a big, big girl until she falls asleep. Then she is still our beautiful baby!
