My Last Two Weeks, Part 1

A lot has happened in the last two weeks. Too much to put into one posting. So here's a little highlight reel from Florida. I didn't get any pictures of myself with both kids. Probably because we spent most of the week in swim suits by the pool or at the beach. The weather was awesome! It was so relaxing to be in Florida with my family. Of course, my ideal relaxing vacation doesn't include three kids under 3 and four adults crammed into a two bedroom condo (in an over-55 community to boot), but I came home refreshed none the less.

• Day one at the beach--Norah tastes sand for the first time.

• Day two at the pool--Toby has to wear ear plugs while swimming. They worked (when he wasn't pulling them out to illustrate that they sink); no ear infections upon our return home.
• Day three and four--more time at the pool (Lincoln's three months older than Norah) and more time for Norah to observe Lincoln crawling. Her face said it all: "Mom! You never told me I could move around like that!!!"
• Day five--rainy day (sad face) and then a walk on the windy beach. An evening trip to the pool turns scarry: Toby trips on his towel on the way home and smashes his face into the sidewalk. Ends up with a broken front tooth. He's okay because he gets to watch Thomas videos and eat ice cream for dinner.
• Day six--breakfast at the beach, lay out at the pool for 20 minutes, and then pack up and fly home. It's worth noting that Toby and Norah both slept for two hours of a three hour non-stop flight. Record breaking, I think.
