So we haven’t even been here one full week, but Florida rocks! We’ve already been to the beach twice and the boys have had a blast digging for sea shells, following crabs, being mesmerized by seagulls, building sand castles and generally frolicking about. The weather is fantastic and so far I really like the humid heat combo vs. the dry heat combo of ABQ.

We had a great mothers day yesterday. I surprised Hannah with 2008 dancing classes, which I’m not sure if we’ll start before or after our daughter shows up, but either way it will be fun trying to tame my clumsy lead feet. The boys and I got her a beautiful seashell necklace and Conner and Tobias picked out a card that read “Juggling Mom Competition” on the outside and “You win!” on the inside. Very cute.

I hope everyone is doing well and thanks to everyone who has been so encouraging and supportive of the move, not least of which are my parents who spent 3 days and 1800 miles alternating between the mini-van and moving truck and then helped us lug boxes into the new house. Greatly appreciated guys and we can’t wait to see you this fall when you get to meet your new granddaughter!

And Dovya, aren’t you coming to Tampa in a couple of weeks? Light us up as we’d love to hang out!

(PS - there is an open invitation to all of our friends to chill anytime you are down here.)
