We drove from Steven's in Arkansas to Clermont, FL where Jeff and Rebekah and Cole had just bought a new house. They had only been in it for a week, but were amazingly settled. They both worked hard getting ready for us.
We missed Jeff's birthday on the 17th, but enjoyed Christmas and New Year's with them. Rebekah's friend, Alexis, also was there from Dallas. We live in the same town, but had to come all the way to Florida to see her! Christmas dinner was great, with turkey and all the fixin's! Jeff and Rebekah are encouraging us to consider moving to Florida to be near them. It is quite tempting! The houses there have come down dramatically. Now we are torn, do we go to Lancaster to help Linda's parents, or do we move to Florida to let our kids take care of us? :-)
New Year's day had some added excitement as Bob came down with a kidney stone that evening. Jeff had one before, so he knew what it was and took us to their hospital ER. The pain was so great he was throwing up. Once they got the pain under control he was fine. Apparently he passed it as he has not had any other problems.
Cole was a little shy with us at first as he had been moved around a lot. Just about the time we had to leave he began warming up to us. It made it really hard to leave. At 17 months, we will probably have to get to know him all over again next time we see them. But Skype helps with video chats.
Linda is back in Orlando now, for meetings, but won't likely get to see much of them.
