Uploading a day later... video took so much longer to get finished than I had wished... and this pregnant momma needed some sleep in there, too! 😜 hope you enjoy coming along with our family on our recent getaway to Florida. Have a blessed day!
OMGOODNESS! I SPIT MY TEA EVERYWHERE. WHEN THAT LITTLE GENTLEMAN SAID "WHY" IN RESPONSE TO NOT THROWING ROCK'S AT THE DUCKS. WE ALL KNOW THAT XANDER HAS NOT THE FIRST MEAN BONE IN HIS BODY. I KNOW THAT I MAY NEVER MEET HIM, BUT I KNOW THAT WITH YOU AND NOLAN AT THE HELM HE WILL GROW INTO A PRINCE OF A YOUNG MAN. YOU GUYS ARE JUST ROCKING THE PARENTS THING. GOD BLESS YOU!
Lol thank you. He asks why for absolutely everything without thinking. Takes some patience 🤣 had someone tell me they left my channel cuz he asked why he shouldn't throw rocks at ducks. Made me laugh. They obviously have never had a child go through the "why" stage
Watching Zander’s face is priceless. He finds such joy in everything. You and Nolan are doing a wonderful job raising that sweet boy. Enjoyed your video.
So sweet! There is nothing better than a vacation with little ones! They are so excited for everything. We are going on a family trip to Europe this year with our 5 year old grandson and all his uncles and aunties. I'm more excited to see it through his eyes than my own.
Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us. I can't explain how it touched me. I haven't had a vacation in so many years and right now with all the stress in the air, it mad a serious difference to me. It was like going back in time. It was so nice to recognize again how beautiful life can be - IS. I watch your site as often as I can. I come from southwestern NY and so am very close to the Amish life here. Love it. Hope your feet recovered quickly and you are feeling good now. I hope the delivery goes smoothly. I am sure the baby will be beautiful. Love to all.
@@theMennoniteMom my 6 year old very energetic grandson just left he has a sleep over every Friday night!! I would gladly have Zander too, they would get along famously!!!❤️❤️
Xander throwing rocks just makes my heart happy. He loved the flamingos. I have never seen anyone feeding them before. He is just so excited about life.
Jeanine, this is one of the most enjoyable videos that I have ever seen! I had a grin on my face the whole time. You are so down to earth . Can't wait for the new little miss to join you.
Hello, what a beautiful, beautiful video, zander at the beach just did it for me, watching him on that beautiful white sand and the sea just looked so inviting. His laughter and running around, to feel so much freedom, it looked amazing and I loved the flamingos. It is an honour that you fill that you can take us along with you on your journeys, I will never be able to afford to go to these amazing places, but seeing it through your eyes and a child’s eyes is truly magical and I feel like I am there with you. Thank you so much, to all of you. Keep safe and be lucky me lovely 💞💞💞
I grew up in Sarasota and lived there most of my life. We live in Tennessee now. Too bad it isn't the small town it used to be, but it's still a nice place to visit. 🙂 Looks like you had a good time! The Pinecraft crowd for singing has really grown since I was there years ago!
We just got home from Sarasota, and we stayed in Dwayne & Virginias cute lil camper. Our daughter in law is their Neice… spited me that I missed meeting you! Would’ve been fun! I often think trips like that with grandchildren will be like back to going w our lil children, adding to the expressions and excitement. They’ve all outgrown Jungle gardens:) great job in capturing Xanders expressions! Love your photography.
Well this seemed like a wonderful opportunity for your family. The warm weather and beautiful sunshine was probably a wonderful break from the wintery weather of Pennsylvania. I imagine you probably did just great at your presentation for the ladies retreat. 😊 🦩The flamingo feeding was pretty cool! Having never been to Florida, I didn't know such a thing was possible...of course, with all the sorts of parks that you can go and do such things, I should have figured one could. 🦩 If you take such great videos with your GoPro, the video would be unbelievably amazing to watch. I think you are very talented in that area...I'm not, but I appreciate those that are. Xander's enthusiasm is so sweet...I love his overactive imagination and concern for you- if the alligators chomped your leg off- "chomped" really cracked me up. Thanks for bringing us along!
Hi, wow beautiful scenery! It looks like a great vacation. It's awesome you and Lynette could meet up. I love her videos too. I wish I had Zander's energy lol
Hi...I love watching Xander playing and feeding the Flamingos... That is so amazing...Those Jungle Gardens are beautiful...Ive never been to Florida but going there would be worth the trip...I love watching Xander play and enjoying being a child like it should be...You're such good parents..I wish I could go back about 55 years and do so many things different....He's going to be a great Big Brother and I can't wait till the new baby is born and see his reaction...So glad you got to meet Lynnette I also watch her TH-cam channel...So glad you got to go on a wonderful trip and shared it with us...I enjoyed the music 🎶Take care and stay safe and pray for Safe Travels🙏 God Bless You and your family...LuvYa! Bye
I just loved the montage of Xander at the beach. The combination of regular and slow motion,, along with your use of the “through your eyes “ lyrics timed perfectly with Xander looking directly at you was magical. You have such a talent for that kind of work. I hope that your speech went well and that your poor feet have had a chance to recover. It took about a year after my first pregnancy for my feet to return to their usual size!
So happy to see you enjoying my part of the USA. I wish I knew you were going to be in Venice so I could tell you in person how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for letting us watch your delightful son grow up! ❤🌴🍦🦩🐊
You know what I love about this trip? Years ago you showed Zander every creature and this time Zander is showing us all he loves in nature! Good job, Mom and Dad!,!!
Thanks for taking us along... I enjoyed the trip! I never had a desire to visit Florida, but I must say after watching all of Lynette's vlogs and now your trip, I think I may have to put that on my bucket list. The Pinecraft/Sarasota area looks like a lovely place to visit with much to do. Wondering if all went well at the lady's retreat? I applaud you for your willingness to speak, I would have been terrified and probably would have fainted before I uttered a word. Until next Friday have a wonderful week. Peace and Blessings, K.
I was delighted to meet and visit with you Jeannine at the Ringling Park. You and your family are even sweeter in person. Ira was impressed to see himself on your video! Thank you for including him. We have been waiting for your Florida video. Now we have to go back again and see some of the things you did as well. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your vacation with us. I love the beach and knew exactly where you were. So glad that you visited with Lynette while you were there. I kept hoping that you were slathering on the sunscreen for all of you, that sun can be brutal to our skin that isn’t used to it. Praying for your family and the new bundle of joy!
How fun! I love the ocean! You’re right, there’s nothing like watching your child at the beach and listening to the giggles! But we are in a different season of life and now I love to just sit and feel the wind and listen to the waves! ❤️
Really enjoyed watching your video & sharing such a great trip especially because I have never been to Florida. Wonderful you got to meet Lynette & her family. She is such a sweetheart & just lovely. I would love to meet both of you. I'm sure it was an enjoyable visit. You did fine I'm sure speaking at the conference & a memorable experience.
What a wonderful vacation for the 3 of you before the baby arrives! Xander is such a delightful little man and he is so full of joy! You guys have done a wonderful job raising him. Such a blessing for you and Lynette to be able to meet! As far as you speaking at the Women’s Retreat I am sure that you did a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing your family vacation!
I was thinking what if one of the seagulls held its ground… what a surprise that would have been! I just love his energy. Seeing him so concerned about you getting chomped was touching. I was listening to the Christian radio station the other day and the question a listener had was how do I know when God is prompting me to do something verses me willing myself. The host used the same Bible verse and followed with look for an open opportunity. How wonderful that you had an open opportunity that provided to other and to your family. Im so glad you got to meet Lynnette, too! As always thanks for taking us along.
This was so much fun to watch!! I love Florida!! Especially through the eyes of a child!! So much wonder and beauty to behold! Gods mighty paint brush at work! How can anyone not believe in His mighty works when looking at so much of His beauty before us!! I’d love to hear all about what you spoke about!! I know you must’ve did a marvelous job!! Love coming from your Sister in Christ!!
An EXCELLENT video. Xander is an amazing child. I bet he is gonna be very protective of the new baby. Florida is a beautiful place. It was nice to see you and Lynette getting to meet. I watch both your channel and hers. Thank you for another entertaining and enjoyable video. God bless you and your precious family.
Xander is an absolute joy, my heart is full!💗 Your video is such a perfect pick me up after watching the serious troubles in other parts of the world. Thank you. 😊
It was hilarious how Xander grabbed his daddy’s pants when that first flamingo came up. So, so cute. When my youngest met his first peacock he was 18 months old and I do not know what possessed him to grab a feather and that bird chased him. It was hilarious and to this day he will not go near a peacock! Thank y’all so much for all of the wonderful smiles and laughter.
Lovely to see 2 of my favourite ladies finally meet, I feel part of your families and look forward to seeing your vlogs. Looking forward to the 2 little babies arriving safely. From Australia.
What a fun video! I cannot believe how big Xander appears to be growing! I am like the folks you met, I want to go to Florida to experience everything the TH-cam folks are showing!
Thank You so much for sharing ❤. Looks so beautiful there 😍. Sorry about your feet. Burnt feet and than having them swollen on top of that is so painful. Well worth it to have such a great Family trip of memories. God bless you all
Loved this video! We, like the older couple, came down to Sarasota from northern Wisconsin to see what all you Mennonites talk about 😂 We stayed at Carlisle Inn and loved it! Our girls loved Der Dutchmens, Olafs, sea shells and the hot tub. Glad you enjoyed a family vacation before little girl comes!
Totally enjoyed "our" vacation. It was relaxing just watching Zander. I bet you had one happy tired boy. How did you feel after you speaking engagement. I bet it was well received. Tell Dad Alligators are faster on land than water. Speeds up to 35 MPH. I bet he knew that but wanted Zander to relax.
What a wonderful family week you shared! Absolutely relaxing even to us as we watched! You truly entered into every moment with your little family! It was a joy to watch you all! You laughed a lot! It was refreshing to watch and listen! Blessings to you and yours
Great video, Janine!! Really liked your selection of music. You two are such wonderful parents for Xander! He gets to enjoy so many wonderful adventures with you. He loved chasing the sea gulls on the beach almost as much as rock throwing in Alaska!! LOL!! That slide was fast and ended hard!! Ha! Made my painful back hurt. LOL!!! I hope you are feeling as well as you seemed on your trip. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Hey, you didn't tell us how the talk went after you gave it. Let us know in the next video. God bless and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!!
I really love watching your videos! It really touched my heart when your husband got in your vehicle and apologized for not being able to get fruit for you! It is so refreshing to see how kind and considerate he is to you - something so rare these days. May God bless you and your family and always keep you close to Him and to each other.
What a beautiful video and such great memories of when you were a family of 3! Thank you for sharing it; is so uplifting makes you smile through the whole video! Every family needs a Xander the world would be such a happy place.
Aww, Jeanine, so glad you, Nolan and Zander got to enjoy your vacation and women's conference. Glad you got to finally meet Lynette -- I follow her, too. Christ's blessings on you in the remainder of your pregnancy.
What a wonderful vlog and that boy of yours just loves life I've forgotten how much they enjoy the simple things my oldest is 34 today and I remember him that age like it was yesterday you have made some fabulous memories for him to have always thank you for sharing your holiday with us take care xxx
Love to watch your beautiful family's adventures! Phew!! I got tired just watching Xander run on the beach, chase sea gulls, etc. He has so much energy!! So sorry your feet got sunburned! But I could certainly tell you all had a well deserved wonderful time!! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you for sharing your trip! Wonderful filming! Xander is a happy boy! Such a joy to see! Looks like you guys had alot of fun! I felt so bad for you when I saw your feet. I can relate. It's nice you guys were able to vacation before the new baby comes. Love your white dress. It's so cute! Lots of Love 💗
What a great vacation! It was lovely to see you all relaxing together…maybe the last vacation as a family of 3! I laughed when you told the story of Zander being scared by the fake alligator but when you were all walking on the path by the river, I was so nervous that there might be a gator along the path!
just watched your sewing video from 2019. I am an experienced seamstress and admire how well you do being mostly self taught.. I have a couple of pointers to make it easier, I am all about easy and short cuts .Check to see if your machine has ability to change pressure on the presser foot. The manual will tell you. Less pressure keeps knits from pulling and stretching. Next, if you use a lightweight interfacing on the fabric edge it won't curl when you are putting in the zipper. The serger can make the easing gathers on sleeves or anything go smoothly if it has the differential feed.. These things will make sewing easier and more joyful. Again, you do a great job just wanted to make sewing easier for you ..Believe me when I say a sewing mistakes can make me "lose my religion" sometimes. Happy sewing!
We've been going down there every winter for vacation for over 10 years now! We love it there & have been at a lot of those places several times! I think we actually came back the day you were planning to leave; you posted a pic of Xander @ the airport, (which I believe was Harrisburg) where we had just been several hours before!! Glad you all had a good time!
Loved this vacation video! Looks like you all had so much fun! You all make Pinecrest look like an enjoyable fun place to visit. Love seeing a community have fun together. So nice that you got to meet Lynette in person. You are both sweet, sincere and fun women! I enjoyed your beach trips. I can’t remember last time I went to the beach. Lol Xander is so adorable! It was fun watching him have fun. How did your talk go? I think you are great at speaking from watching your videos? You explain yourself well. Hope your sunburn is gone! Florida sun is very strong. Thank you for posting and sharing your vacation!
Thank you for taking us on vacation with y’all!! Florida is wonderful!! I’ve never been to Sarasota but I would love to go sometime soon. I’m so glad that you and Lynette were able to get together with her family too. You girls are really a sweet positive light in this world. I’m so excited to see the baby girls when arrive!!
Uploading a day later... video took so much longer to get finished than I had wished... and this pregnant momma needed some sleep in there, too! 😜 hope you enjoy coming along with our family on our recent getaway to Florida. Have a blessed day!
We want to know how your speech went at ladies night ?😊
You should of recorded your speech and shared it with us 🙂
What a sweet
Video !!! Great memories
So much fun , your son is so sweet and cute and loves to laugh. Can't wait to see him as a big brother .
Good thing there aren’t any gators there!
Zander giggles and giggles before he ran after the birds!!!
OMGOODNESS! I SPIT MY TEA EVERYWHERE. WHEN THAT LITTLE GENTLEMAN SAID "WHY" IN RESPONSE TO NOT THROWING ROCK'S AT THE DUCKS. WE ALL KNOW THAT XANDER HAS NOT THE FIRST MEAN BONE IN HIS BODY. I KNOW THAT I MAY NEVER MEET HIM, BUT I KNOW THAT WITH YOU AND NOLAN AT THE HELM HE WILL GROW INTO A PRINCE OF A YOUNG MAN. YOU GUYS ARE JUST ROCKING THE PARENTS THING. GOD BLESS YOU!
Lol thank you. He asks why for absolutely everything without thinking. Takes some patience 🤣 had someone tell me they left my channel cuz he asked why he shouldn't throw rocks at ducks. Made me laugh. They obviously have never had a child go through the "why" stage
Sometimes I think that Zander’s smile is going to stretch so wide that he will actually grin from ear to ear! His joy and happiness is so apparent!
Lol yes! His energy for life is boundless
I loved getting to meet you!!!
Likewise!!!
My two favourite TH-camrs are now friends. Yay!
Zander has all the confidence of a truly loved child. He will make a wonderful big brother 😊
Thank you! I can't wait to see his reaction
Zander is absolutely 💯 positively the poster child for live, love....laugh. Precious, priceless blessing.😊
Watching Zander’s face is priceless. He finds such joy in everything. You and Nolan are doing a wonderful job raising that sweet boy. Enjoyed your video.
I love your family.I’m from Ontario Canada.I’m 70 years old .Your videos are amazing.Your children are so sweet.🥰🇨🇦
Xanders little legs didn’t stop moving. It was adorable. He seems to enjoy everything!
Zander has to be the happiest little boy i have every seen, his smile just melts my heart x
Everything is so much more fun when a child is involved. It’s like rediscovering the wonders of the world all over again! I miss those days. xxoo
I yearn to be so carefree like your little boy! Good job Mom and Dad!
So sweet! There is nothing better than a vacation with little ones! They are so excited for everything. We are going on a family trip to Europe this year with our 5 year old grandson and all his uncles and aunties. I'm more excited to see it through his eyes than my own.
I LOVE to see things through the eyes of a child!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us. I can't explain how it touched me. I haven't had a vacation in so many years and right now with all the stress in the air, it mad a serious difference to me. It was like going back in time. It was so nice to recognize again how beautiful life can be - IS. I watch your site as often as I can. I come from southwestern NY and so am very close to the Amish life here. Love it. Hope your feet recovered quickly and you are feeling good now. I hope the delivery goes smoothly. I am sure the baby will be beautiful. Love to all.
Thank you! I'm glad it could bring you some normalcy in today's stress. Sending hugs!
Zander's zest for everything in life is so wonderful to watch. God bless your family.
love hearing your beautiful laugh and giggle when watching Xander and Nolan's mild mannered enjoyment of you and your son. Xander is gorgeous! xx
♥️♥️ I could watch Zander for hours his laughter and smile bring a huge smile on my face!!! Love your family videos!! God bless you all!♥️
Thank you! I'll gladly let you baby sit him for a day 😅 soooo much energy
@@theMennoniteMom my 6 year old very energetic grandson just left he has a sleep over every Friday night!! I would gladly have Zander too, they would get along famously!!!❤️❤️
Xander throwing rocks just makes my heart happy. He loved the flamingos. I have never seen anyone feeding them before. He is just so excited about life.
So beautiful this makes me want to go to Florida. Actually it puts a longing in my heart to just go anywhere for vacation with my family.
Beautiful footage of your son and making memories as a family!
Zander is so precious and so excited about everything
Jeanine, this is one of the most enjoyable videos that I have ever seen! I had a grin on my face the whole time. You are so down to earth . Can't wait for the new little miss to join you.
Happy times Valenes day - absolutely LOVE it...cute cute boy!! Love from Scotland x
I loved watching you all on vacation. Zander is an amazing little boy and he going to be such a good big brother!
Hello, what a beautiful, beautiful video, zander at the beach just did it for me, watching him on that beautiful white sand and the sea just looked so inviting. His laughter and running around, to feel so much freedom, it looked amazing and I loved the flamingos.

Thank you so much, to all of you. Keep safe and be lucky me lovely 💞💞💞
I just loved the touching moments watching Zander on the beach. I'm the mom of a son, too and so I understood where your mama heart was
Our children wrap themselves around our hearts don't they?
@@theMennoniteMom They really do! And that fact that God has entrusted us with these precious little souls just overwhelms my heart even more.
I grew up in Sarasota and lived there most of my life. We live in Tennessee now. Too bad it isn't the small town it used to be, but it's still a nice place to visit. 🙂 Looks like you had a good time! The Pinecraft crowd for singing has really grown since I was there years ago!

The excitement and joy sweet little Zander was having was absolutely precious! ❤
You make any kind of video you want, love your beautiful family
He is such a sweetheart! I enjoyed your vacation and FYI I love Lynette Yoder❤️❤️
So happy to see you enjoying my part of the USA. I wish I knew you were going to be in Venice so I could tell you in person how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for letting us watch your delightful son grow up! ❤🌴🍦🦩🐊
Oh, those excavator toys are great! My son can't get enough of them when we find one somewhere!:-)
Wow! Feeding the flamingos looks so fun!
You know what I love about this trip? Years ago you showed Zander every creature and this time Zander is showing us all he loves in nature! Good job, Mom and Dad!,!!
Well if that was not just THE best video. It was such a nice break to watch it. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

Made me smile watching your son. Children are such a blessing. God bless your family.
I just love your videos and I think I need to find this gem of a place during my travels.
I love watching Zander enjoy life!!
Good job!!! I'm very happy for you!!!
I so enjoy watching Xander! You have been truly blessed with him!! Your family is such a joy!!
Congrats on your new baby. God bless you momma
I was delighted to meet and visit with you Jeannine at the Ringling Park. You and your family are even sweeter in person. Ira was impressed to see himself on your video! Thank you for including him. We have been waiting for your Florida video. Now we have to go back again and see some of the things you did as well. ❤️
Zander is such a sweet , kind young man . He is a joy to watch . Good job raising him mama .❤️❤️❤️
What beautiful memories y'all have made! Love watching Zander playing in the waves...precious boy♥️
Thank you for sharing your vacation with us. I love the beach and knew exactly where you were. So glad that you visited with Lynette while you were there. I kept hoping that you were slathering on the sunscreen for all of you, that sun can be brutal to our skin that isn’t used to it. Praying for your family and the new bundle of joy!
So glad you got to meet Lynette!!! Xander is so full of joy...he has fun no matter what he does or where he goes!
How fun! I love the ocean! You’re right, there’s nothing like watching your child at the beach and listening to the giggles! But we are in a different season of life and now I love to just sit and feel the wind and listen to the waves! ❤️
This has been a lot of fun being on vacation. I have snow outside my house now it stinks. Thanks for sharing and Zander sure had fun I love his laugh
Really enjoyed watching your video & sharing such a great trip especially because I have never been to Florida. Wonderful you got to meet Lynette & her family. She is such a sweetheart & just lovely. I would love to meet both of you. I'm sure it was an enjoyable visit. You did fine I'm sure speaking at the conference & a memorable experience.
What a wonderful vacation for the 3 of you before the baby arrives! Xander is such a delightful little man and he is so full of joy! You guys have done a wonderful job raising him. Such a blessing for you and Lynette to be able to meet! As far as you speaking at the Women’s Retreat I am sure that you did a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing your family vacation!
Thank you!
Enjoyed watching you son have a blast, he is a sweetheart.
Great break from the cold. And family vacations are the best. God bless your family .
I was thinking what if one of the seagulls held its ground… what a surprise that would have been! I just love his energy. Seeing him so concerned about you getting chomped was touching.

Thank you. It can be hard to know what we are to do. Yes, not sure what Xander would've done had the seagull just stood still 😄 no fun in that!
This was so much fun to watch!! I love Florida!! Especially through the eyes of a child!! So much wonder and beauty to behold! Gods mighty paint brush at work! How can anyone not believe in His mighty works when looking at so much of His beauty before us!!
I’d love to hear all about what you spoke about!! I know you must’ve did a marvelous job!! Love coming from your Sister in Christ!!
The music is beautiful in this video. What a gorgeous video of your family and a peaceful vacation. Love it!
An EXCELLENT video. Xander is an amazing child. I bet he is gonna be very protective of the new baby. Florida is a beautiful place. It was nice to see you and Lynette getting to meet. I watch both your channel and hers. Thank you for another entertaining and enjoyable video. God bless you and your precious family.
Great video. Definitely worth the wait. I'm glad you all had a relaxing but fun vacay.
Xander is an absolute joy, my heart is full!💗 Your video is such a perfect pick me up after watching the serious troubles in other parts of the world.
Thank you. 😊
We live in Cape Coral, Florida about an hour south of Sarasota. My sister lives in Sarasota. So glad you had a wonderful family vacation. ❤️
What a blessing that little boy is for you…beautiful music also🇨🇦🥰
It was hilarious how Xander grabbed his daddy’s pants when that first flamingo came up. So, so cute. When my youngest met his first peacock he was 18 months old and I do not know what possessed him to grab a feather and that bird chased him. It was hilarious and to this day he will not go near a peacock! Thank y’all so much for all of the wonderful smiles and laughter.
😅 that's hilarious! 😀
Lovely to see 2 of my favourite ladies finally meet, I feel part of your families and look forward to seeing your vlogs. Looking forward to the 2 little babies arriving safely. From Australia.
Thank you for sharing your trip. Xander is a delight. I miss my children being little and carefree (except for the chomping)!
Loved this. Thank you for taking us along. Wish we could have heard you speak.
What a fun video! I cannot believe how big Xander appears to be growing! I am like the folks you met, I want to go to Florida to experience everything the TH-cam folks are showing!
I love Florida!!! That looks like it was such a peaceful place to vacation. Glad you all had such a great time.
Thank You so much for sharing ❤. Looks so beautiful there 😍. Sorry about your feet. Burnt feet and than having them swollen on top of that is so painful. Well worth it to have such a great Family trip of memories. God bless you all
Ty so much for sharing. Looks like a good time was had by all
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the highlights of your trip. Your songs are so fitting...
Loved this video! We, like the older couple, came down to Sarasota from northern Wisconsin to see what all you Mennonites talk about 😂 We stayed at Carlisle Inn and loved it! Our girls loved Der Dutchmens, Olafs, sea shells and the hot tub. Glad you enjoyed a family vacation before little girl comes!
So interesting! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Oh AWESOME! I have always hoped you and Lynette would meet! Oh Xander, you make everything so much more FUN!🤗
That's awesome you were able to meet Lynette . I feel like I know her too it's so funny .
Such a nice family. Lovely to watch. Enjoy!
Your dress fabric in your intro is KILLER!💗💛🤍
Totally enjoyed "our" vacation. It was relaxing just watching Zander. I bet you had one happy tired boy. How did you feel after you speaking engagement. I bet it was well received. Tell Dad Alligators are faster on land than water. Speeds up to 35 MPH. I bet he knew that but wanted Zander to relax.
He was happy and tired! I will have to tell Nolan that. I didn't think they could move fast on land. Shows we didn't grow up with them!
What a wonderful family week you shared! Absolutely relaxing even to us as we watched! You truly entered into every moment with your little family! It was a joy to watch you all! You laughed a lot! It was refreshing to watch and listen! Blessings to you and yours
Thank you!
Great video, Janine!! Really liked your selection of music. You two are such wonderful parents for Xander! He gets to enjoy so many wonderful adventures with you. He loved chasing the sea gulls on the beach almost as much as rock throwing in Alaska!! LOL!! That slide was fast and ended hard!! Ha! Made my painful back hurt. LOL!!! I hope you are feeling as well as you seemed on your trip. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Hey, you didn't tell us how the talk went after you gave it. Let us know in the next video. God bless and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!!
I really love watching your videos! It really touched my heart when your husband got in your vehicle and apologized for not being able to get fruit for you! It is so refreshing to see how kind and considerate he is to you - something so rare these days. May God bless you and your family and always keep you close to Him and to each other.
Thank you. I'm so blessed to have him!
Loved your trip. Old like to go myself.
GREAT lace for children!! Zander had so much fun !! Stay well. 🙏🙏❤
What a beautiful video and such great memories of when you were a family of 3! Thank you for sharing it; is so uplifting makes you smile through the whole video! Every family needs a Xander the world would be such a happy place.
Thank you! Yes he does keep our life anything but dull!
Aww, Jeanine, so glad you, Nolan and Zander got to enjoy your vacation and women's conference. Glad you got to finally meet Lynette -- I follow her, too.
Christ's blessings on you in the remainder of your pregnancy.

Thank you for sharing your family memories with us! You did a fantastic job on the video! I love watching your videos!
Thanks so much!
Love to watch your beautiful family's adventures! Phew!! I got tired just watching Xander run on the beach, chase sea gulls, etc. He has so much energy!! So sorry your feet got sunburned! But I could certainly tell you all had a well deserved wonderful time!! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you for sharing your trip! Wonderful filming! Xander is a happy boy! Such a joy to see! Looks like you guys had alot of fun! I felt so bad for you when I saw your feet. I can relate. It's nice you guys were able to vacation before the new baby comes. Love your white dress. It's so cute! Lots of Love 💗
What a great vacation! It was lovely to see you all relaxing together…maybe the last vacation as a family of 3! I laughed when you told the story of Zander being scared by the fake alligator but when you were all walking on the path by the river, I was so nervous that there might be a gator along the path!
just watched your sewing video from 2019. I am an experienced seamstress and admire how well you do being mostly self taught.. I have a couple of pointers to make it easier, I am all about easy and short cuts .Check to see if your machine has ability to change pressure on the presser foot. The manual will tell you. Less pressure keeps knits from pulling and stretching. Next, if you use a lightweight interfacing on the fabric edge it won't curl when you are putting in the zipper. The serger can make the easing gathers on sleeves or anything go smoothly if it has the differential feed.. These things will make sewing easier and more joyful. Again, you do a great job just wanted to make sewing easier for you ..Believe me when I say a sewing mistakes can make me "lose my religion" sometimes. Happy sewing!
We've been going down there every winter for vacation for over 10 years now! We love it there & have been at a lot of those places several times! I think we actually came back the day you were planning to leave; you posted a pic of Xander @ the airport, (which I believe was Harrisburg) where we had just been several hours before!! Glad you all had a good time!
Loved this vacation video! Looks like you all had so much fun! You all make Pinecrest look like an enjoyable fun place to visit. Love seeing a community have fun together. So nice that you got to meet Lynette in person. You are both sweet, sincere and fun women! I enjoyed your beach trips. I can’t remember last time I went to the beach. Lol Xander is so adorable! It was fun watching him have fun. How did your talk go? I think you are great at speaking from watching your videos? You explain yourself well. Hope your sunburn is gone! Florida sun is very strong. Thank you for posting and sharing your vacation!
Thank you for taking us on vacation with y’all!! Florida is wonderful!! I’ve never been to Sarasota but I would love to go sometime soon.
I’m so glad that you and Lynette were able to get together with her family too. You girls are really a sweet positive light in this world.
I’m so excited to see the baby girls when arrive!!
