Love bug season

A midst all the love bugs floating around here in Tampa lately, I am reminded of all the love bugs in my life.  You met two of them in my last post, Brody and Ryan.  This post is dedicated to my love bugs in Ponte Vedra, who I get to see this weekend!!!  I have grown to like and appreciate living in Tampa more and more over the last five years or so, HOWEVER, I will never lose the love and affection I have for my deep roots in PV.  Going home is such a joy and blessing because it is not too far or hard a trip.  Luckily, we get to do it pretty often...it helps that we get treated when we are there!  Mimi, G-daddy, and the whole gang are so good to us.

This picture is not incredibly recent...but not much has changed as far as the cuteness factor and wild woman that is Isabelle Grace Whitaker.  Love her love her love her.  The original Whitaker offspring.  She is now 4 and a half and has a little brother...

Curran Edward Whitaker was born July 10, 2011.  He is almost exactly 4 months older than Wyatt...YES another boy cousin to rough and tumble with in a couple of years!!!  Curran was given a family name in honor of my grandmother, Kate. Curran is her maiden name.  It means something really awesome in Irish and I am drawing a blank at the moment....

 Thrilled to have a little brother!

Thrilled to have a nephew!  I was quite pregnant in this picture from what I recall...

 Jeff Whitaker reincarnate.

The whole fam came to visit Wyatt when he was born, this was taken the day after he was born.

Wyatt and Curran...sounds like they could star in a Western film together...certified hunks.

Sweet Isabelle, a night out in St. Augustine to see the Christmas lights, 2011.

 Curran the chunker dunk at the beach, chillin.  

Love this one of Curran and Isabelle, pretty sure Mickey Mouse was involved in this photo somehow...

More recently...Isabelle has been taking dance lessons and her recital is this weekend!

What a doll baby.

G-Daddy with his grandsons.  Hand full of stud muffins right there.  

Curran Edward

Love that face, ALWAYS smiling.  

Will post some more recent pics soon.  We will be visiting with them this weekend for Memorial Day and I'm sure there will be some good ones.  

Happy Memorial Day to everybody...spend time with family, eat some watermelon, go to the beach, and be thankful for a country where we are free and be blessed by those who sacrifice to keep it that way.

"How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands.  Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.  They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever."  Psalm 112:1-3

If this is not wealth, I don't know what is.  

Peace!
