Family Fun Day

My little man

We don't look a day over 25, right?!?

Coco LOVES the sand & surf. I think she's going to be a beach bum.

Donald has been working 6 days a week for the last 3 weeks so our family time has been extremely limited. So, we were rebels today and skipped church to have a Family Fun Day! We enjoyed a fantastic lunch at a charming Italian bistro, went to the St. Armands Art Festival and ended the day with a visit to the beach. The kids had a blast and mother-nature granted us a picture perfect day: 70 degrees and sunny.

Daddy & his baby girl

Yum...$4 ice cream cones from Ben & Jerry's.
I'm pretty sure that they each at 50 cents worth.

Gotcha! Donald making a rare silly face.

Too Soon to Call

I am so excited! Sebastian looked at the potty this morning and said "pee pee." So, I put him on it and he pushed and pushed until he finally made a few drops! He was smiling so big and was so proud. It really was a family affair; he had an audience of Momma, Daddy and Coco. TMI for a lot of people I'm sure, but this momma is too excited not to share. He's only 21 months old and I know it's too soon to call. However, the thought of almost being done buying diapers is kinda cool (not to mention a pay raise). On the other hand, Sebastian is my baby and I can't stand the thought of him growing up. I know that it's inevitable...sigh.

Accentuate the Positive

Well, it's been just over a week here at our new home in sunny Florida. It's been a tough and surreal week for me but we made it. I could talk about how tough the adjustment is and how much I miss home, friends, family church etc. But, in an effort to find life's silver linings, I'm going to accentuate the positive and give my top 10 "likes" of living here:

1. The weather is incredible.

2. Our house is wonderful in a great neighborhood with sidewalks.

3. Forgot to mention our house has a heated & enclosed pool and hotub!

4. Super Target, enough said.

5. The public schools are ranked among some of the highest in the nation.

6. The beach is a very short 25 minute drive away!!!

7. Our house is so sunny during the day, I don't even need to turn on lights.

8. I'm in constant 3G range.

9. The streets have bicycle lanes.

10. Disney World + Florida residents pass = LOTS of fun!
