You Know You're Adjusting to Floridian Life When...

It's 78 degrees outside and your kids don't want to go swimming because it's "too cold!" :)


Happy Monday, Everyone!

Our First Gator Spotting!

Mornings With Luke

This morning Luke woke up and then promptly woke me up and said, "Good morning mom. You look beautiful today." He then went to wake up his dad and said to him, "Good morning dad. It's morning time. I am glad you are still here because I like to spend this time with you."


We are going to spend this lovely Saturday morning sweating at the pumpkin patch. That's right, it's mid -October and it's still a solid 85 degrees here in Boca Raton (this is down from 90 degrees yesterday. The humidity is only about 60%, however, which is a major plus since it's down from about 90%). I am mildly depressed about this fact. Friends say it will start to cool down by December... to the 70s (sigh)... No, this Fall we will not be enjoying sweet potato bisque and hot apple cider while the children jump in the leaves. But we are going to put our tank tops and shorts on and head to the pumpkin patch... Pictures to be posted soon!

31 weeks

With our first child, we dutifully took a belly picture every week beginning at some absurd week, like 11 or something. With our second, I think I still have quite a few belly pics, but definitely not every week and definitely not starting so early. Well, here is one of about 3 belly pics I have intentionally taken with our third... Our poor, already neglected third child. We don't have as many belly pictures to mark the pregnancy progress, but we do have a whole family so incredibly excited to meet you! We can't wait!

For the Feast of St. Francis on October 4th...

We had a breakfast dinner of pancakes made in the shapes of animals.




And we said our (well, my) favorite prayer, which we will continue to pray for the month of October:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

Photos

Our new photo stream is located to the right of this post (it's labeled,"The Running of the Bullio") I will continuously add photos to that album and other albums, which you can check out by clicking on the link. For those of you who care about pictures (grandmas & grandpas, aunts & uncles??? :), I hope you find this as easy to use as our old site at babyhomepages. Right now there are some new pictures from our trip at Siesta Key and our move. Enjoy!
