Morning snuggles

In the past month or so, Ellie has become more “snuggly”, which I love. She’ll now happily snuggle up to me and just lay with me, especially in the mornings. Works out nicely for me, since I love to cuddle!

It’s been a bit hard to get a nice picture of Ellie this week, since her first tooth is on its way, but she’s been happy this morning, so I jumped at the chance.

Our Christmas trip to Mount Dora

The past two years, Martina and I have gone to Mount Dora a weekend or two before Christmas, as a little getaway. It also helped us to get a bit more in the Christmas spirit, as that can be hard when it’s 80+ degrees outside: Mt Dora is quite a small little town in central Florida, which goes all out for Christmas and it’s a nice place to kick back and get festive.

This year, we had no intention of stopping that tradition, so we invited Marti’s mom along and the four of us enjoyed a nice little weekend. We stayed at Maison en Ville, which is an excellent little B and B, downtown, within walking distance of all the town’s offerings.
