Florida Suncoast

We just returned from a short but fun trip to FL with Gayle's mom and sister.  We stayed at the condo where we first brought Brady home from the hospital, so it was neat to remember that time and how he's grown!

Brady had his first dip in the pool this summer, and it was a hit!  He splashed and splashed and loved being pulled around in his tube.  He also got his first taste of the ocean (not literally).  He got a kick out of the waves, and really REALLY wanted us to let him down.  Unfortunately we were just stopping by after dinner, so he had to settle for getting his legs wet.  Next year, buddy!

Out for our daily walk and looking mighty cute in that hat!

My intention was just to get his feet wet, but he was a little too excited.

Hi Mommy!

Checking out the new ball that Nana and Aunt Casey had waiting for him.

Sisterly pool time

Speaking of cute hats...

Do you remember this beach?  You were here when you were a week old!

Waves!

Thanks for the good times Nana and Aunt Casey!

Home

We are in our new house!  Well, all our stuff is physically in the house.  We aren't exactly unpacked yet, but so far we are loving it!  It's great to have so much space, and a backyard, and trees... and we've already met some really great neighbors!

We've been busy with the obvious tasks- unpacking, cleaning, lawnmower-buying, etc.  We are taking a much needed break tomorrow morning to head to FL to vacation with Gayle's mom and sister.  The beach is calling!  I have it admit- it does feel funny to pack things after all these days of unpacking.

Adios, townhouse!

Hello new house!

Lyla helped watch Brady and clean while I unpacked.  Dad and Dustin helped unload our storage building and put together furniture.

And Daniel made sure our couch was in good working order.

Sharing some cereal with Daddy

Happy he can make a circuit with the wagon now!

A perfect fit in our new end tables (Thanks Denise!)

Showing off for Allie

Love this new yard!

I think Niles has found his favorite spot.

Another trip to Lowe's?  I'm game!
