Deer in my backyard


These pics were taken from my bedroom window.......how cool is it to have wildlife right in your backyard - literally! I love it!













I love being so close to this stuff....even if the deer look more like overgrown dogs compared to what we see in Michigan ;)

more pics....




















































































































































shame on me.....

I have been MIA for several months.....no blogging, no responses to others' blogs...nothing. Wow, what a busy holiday season we had! I don't really know where to begin....where did I leave off? lol

Let's just cut to the chase and talk about Christmas! The Floridian Eckerts celeberated Christmas a few days early this year - the 22nd to be exact. Jim and the kids packed up the Tahoe that night and began their travel to the deep North (a.k.a. Michigan) on the 23rd of December. Jim wanted to suprise his mom with a visit for Christmas - and boy was she suprised!

The kids had a fantastic time with ALL of the family back home. Needless to say, it was a little depressing for me to be here all alone, but after the 25th, I began picking up my spirits - I just had to get through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (and I took everything down Christmas Eve so that I didn't have to be reminded about Christmas on Christmas Day....as if that's possible, right?).

Here are some of the pics that Jim took while home........















Clockwise beginning with Addison at 1200 - Addison, Marcus, Terrence, Tyler, Jayce, (cousin?), Kammie.











Christmas morning - Uncle Terry and Aunt Cora gave the kids their gifts so they wouldn't feel left out - thanks Uncle Terry and Aunt Cora!!
















Kiaya Narae - my neice whom I have yet to meet.......does she not look like "Boo" from Monster's Inc?? Of couse she does! Thanks to Uncle Jim, this is her new nickname :)







THE BIG SUPRISE........
