Welcome to my attempt to blog!

So I have decided to start a blog. We'll see how this goes. My thoughts are that instead of boring all my Facebook friends with constant updates and photos, I will TRY to update often via this blog. Those who want to subscribe can keep up with us through here.

So, we will have been here 2 weeks tomorrow! I can't believe it! It seems like we talked about moving for so long and I never really thought the day would come. I honestly thought I could put Mike off a couple years at a time, and just maybe he would forget about it. No such luck. BUT, thankfully we LOVE it here! The weather is gorgeous, the people are so welcoming and friendly and we love our house too! A little small, but perfect for now. I will post pictures of the house once it is all set up.

The water play area at Mackle Park. Sooo fun and I can't wait to take Ava there!!!

Collecting Sea shells. It is amazing the things we have found so far!

As long as he is eating, he is happy!

Look at that figure! 

Dinner with Aunt Jonnie

One of the many beautiful sunsets off the Gulf

My Mom stayed a little over a week with us, and I was completely spoiled!! Thank God she rode with the kids and I down here. She kept me from throwing Lola from the car several times! She cooked, cleaned, grocery shopped, got up with the baby. I did NOT want her to leave! We were so thankful to have her here, and I really don't know what I would have done without her. But then she left......

Back to reality for us. Last night I cooked my first home cooked meal in our new house (butternut squash ravioli, thank you very much Marta!) and Lola started her new dance school today. Lola seems to be more hyper in Florida (I didn't think it was possible) and while I do want to cut her vocal cords on occasion, she is having a blast and it is so fun to watch her!  We are starting to get into our routine and it feels good to get back to normal. Although, living in paradise is definitely not the normal we are used to!! But, I think we can get used to this!
