A Little Piece Of Heaven: Blake and Kellie's Visit

Blake and Kellie were bumped up first class on their trip to Orlando because he was in uniform. As Blake and Kellie were waiting on their bags these little kids were walking up a shaking Blake's hand and thanking him. It was a mothers heart felt moment as these kids would tug on his uniform to get his attention just so they could shake his hand. Our first stop Doubles Hoagies. He said he has been thinking of Doubles since he has been at Ft. Drum. It was great because his grandfather and Matt and Michelle met us there.
Scott and I headed home and Blake and Kellie began to make their trips around to see family and Blake meet up with a high school friend. Later that evening he hung out with his friend and a few sparklers lead to this.

Kellie being from Boston thought that she could throw sand on this fire to put it out. They needed Smoky The Bear for this fire. So they ended up calling the fire department.

Blake was being baptized Sunday afternoon, so we went to the 8:30 service. Blake's grandfather surprised us and showed up. It was bittersweet because I do not believe that he has been in the church since Blake's grandmother had passed away. Scott and I are just as guilty. We had a small cookout with family and friends before Blake being baptized. Scott grilled his yummy ribs.

Blake's faith has really grown since losing his grandmother. He thought how great it would be to be baptized in her pool. Pastor Loomis was all for it even though the water was a bit cold.

After Blake was baptized the kids played on the beach. Skylar found a nice old man that let her help him fly his kite.

Skylar was so happy to have her Uncle Blake home

and so was his mom.
On Monday we went to Disney Kellie hadn't been in years. Scott and I thought we would tag along. Scott and I rode one ride and decided to go to downtown disney for people watching and to build my little ponies for Skylar. It was great you have a box and it is $25.00 for as much as you could stuff in the box. So Skylar ended up with three ponies dressed with all the accessories. It was sad because we had to have these little kids help us. We had tickets to The Hoop De Doo dinner show.

Tuesday evening Blake was to go purchase a white shirt for engagement pictures with Erica on Wednesday, instead he showed up with a marriage license and wanted me to marry he and Kellie on Friday at sunset on the river. Is this legal?? Yes, in the State of Florida it is legal for a notary to perform a marriage of a family member.

Wednesday we went to and had lunch and drinks at the cocoa beach pier. I just wanted to get a feel for the pictures Erica was going to take. This is a picture I took on the deck.
