Lets make some cookies

These pics are from a few weeks ago. The kids loved making the cookies. We made letter and shape cutouts.

11 years and counting

Pete and I ceebrate our 11th anniversary on Saturday. It is my year to pan our celebration so I chose The Love Shack on Captiva Island. I posted some info on that place a few days ago. In honor of our happy years together I posted a few pics of us.

Maddi and her second cousins

These are pictures that I actually took off my cousin Melanie's site. Maddie is pictured with Miss Gwen. (what a little cutie she is!!) When she wants her mom or dad she says "mommy hug" or daddy hug. Too cute!!! Maddie loves playing the piano at Aunt Kathy's house. She also really wanted to ho9ld Baby Nathan. It was a short holding time.. but she was pleased.
Maddie had a slight sunburn on her arm from the beach the day before so she did not want to wear her t-shirt. Figured she could still go topless at age 4. She also had some wild eyes going on in one of the pics.
Very excited I bought a new camera today and cant wait to start using it. I really want to get some nice beach shots at Captive this weekend. Thanks to mom and dad who watch the kids every anniversary so Pete and Ican have some adult alone time. Gotta love those grandparents :)

The Love Shack Captiva Island, Florida

Since Pete never checks the blog I thought it safe to psot these pics of the Love Shack. This is where eteand I are going for our anniversary. We have stayed here one other time and it was such a quaint little place. True to its name it is kind of a shack. I think the outside looks more like an outhouse!
I have copied and posted some history on this little cottage.

The Love Shack - (written by the owner) When I bought the Inn and made my way around the island and met some of the locals, many stories were told. This of course, is a Historic Inn. You know what that means, old.

Shabby Chic" is very popular, you know. We have been tastefully restored, mind you. With the Historic Designation there are rules about changing certain things. No building are torn down, rather we upgrade.

There was a little cottage in the back. Well, cottage might be a stretch. Locals called it the Love Shack and many stories come with it. I don’t know if they rented it by the hour or not. We just won’t go further, but I think you catch the drift. I used it for my office and then we moved our office across the street. Hence, The Love Shack has been re-created!

Basically, it’s a bedroom and a bathroom with a front porch and side porch. The room comes equipped with candles. Does anybody remember the tune, “The Love Shack”?
