It is now the rainy season in Florida. However, we have been able to squeeze in a day each weekend to do something fun without the rain totally keeping us indoors.
Lots to love.....
-I love the fact that if we want to go to the beach (or one of the beaches, as we have several to choose from), we just pack up and jump in the car and go! 20 minutes and there we are surf, sand, and sun!
-I am loving that we have a pool in our backyard and we can use it most any time we like, even if it is sprinkling outside!
-I am loving Landon's new found excitement over swimming! He has become quite the little fish!
-I love Lou's new fondness of the ocean and the waves! Her little laugh while in the water is priceless!
-I love it that my kids have an "up for anything" attitude and get excited even when we are just going to the local market!
-I love our kids routine at the local market. First a cookie at the bakery counter and then to see the lobsters at the seafood counter! Always. in. this. order. (oh, and I love our fish guy! But not like you think. He has the best advice and never steers me wrong when buying the local fresh fish!)
-Though I prefer sunny days, I do love hearing the rain fall on the palms outside our window. It is such a mellow sound and a gentle reminder that we live in a "tropical" environment now! I still need pinching from time to time-surreal!
-I love Lou's hair! It is three shades of blonde and has the prettiest ringlets. There is one curl on the left side of her head that is longer than the others and I don't have the heart to cut it!
-Speaking of hair, I love Landon's short hair cut. It is so much easier to deal with and he looks so much older with shorter hair!
-I love our kids' tan lines! (don't worry they wear sunscreen!) But, those little sun-kissed backs and shoulders are too cute!
-I love Lou's new question "mamma, what ya doin?"
-I love how well Landon can read and that is going to first grade! No tears here, all smiles with such pride for my smart little man!
-I love our new church home, Church by the Glades!
-I love wearing dresses and sandals (who are we kidding, flip-flops) just about year round!
And.....
-I love that a year ago this month we made the decision to move to Florida and start a new adventure as a family! It hasn't been easy at times, but we are so blessed and so thankful to have this opportunity!
