Now, I doubt greatly that a potential home buyer will peruse my blog. But, I think it's possible that one of you--my faithful readers--will see our house and think of a friend or family member.

And, if not, hopefully you enjoyed our mini-tour. We've so enjoyed living in this comfortable home for nearly 6 years. What I especially love is the proximity to everything in Saint Joe--we can walk to the beach, to the downtown shops, to all the summer festivals and concerts.

We had a very blessed and happy Easter spending time with family. It's a true joy to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, planting seeds of truth in Schaeffer's heart.

The Butterfly House / Fredrick Meyer Gardens

Beautiful!


Melts my heart


Smelling the flowers


My little butterfly

She got one!


Beyond excited to hold her 'own' butterfly


'Trying' not to poke the butterfly



It has become an annual tradition to see the butterflies in bloom at Fredrick Meyer Gardens. It is amazing to watch them flutter about--to see the different stages between caterpillar, chrysalis and beautiful butterfly.

And, it is great fun to see the joy in Schaeffer Jo when a butterfly flutters down to land on her arm. We had a great family day--it it so sweet to make memories with those you love.

Happy Birthday Uncle Josh!

Handsome Tobi


Happy Boy!



Gorgeous cakes
