Shell Factory

Right up the road is a tourist trap called the Shell Factory. Cheap souvenirs are their specialty. But in the back they have a mini-zoo and petting zoo which is really pretty cool for a Saturday afternoon.

Cousin Jen's visit

Thanks for coming to see us!

All in the Browns family

Statistics show that every Sunday somebody new converts to being a Browns fan. Below are some recent converts. Welcome to the club!
Cousin Jen, proud of her team.

Aunt Mindy...you're right, they are #1.

Grandmom Kiehl knows it's true.

Sanibel's ring, are you listnin'

We went out to Sanibel and Captiva to see the official holiday kickoff and lighting of the Christmas tree. Aunt Mindy sang carols and there was plenty of holiday cheer except in Santa's golf cart:

Sunny Holidays

Okay I know it's been a long time. I can't believe how much Lyla has changed even since the October post. Here are some photos from last month or so.



The youngest (and only) Cleveland Browns cheerleader with Aunt Tracy and Whisky. Tracy and Whisky also cheer for the Browns.


It's hard to stand up amid so many toys.


Where's the mustard?
