Week 2

Well we are in our 2nd week of Gainesville life and here's what we've been up to:

Swimming, every day. London only lasts about 15 mins and then she climbs out for snacks. I can usually get her to stay about an hour but she likes to lounge out for most of the time. Max has become a diving phenom! He can dive up to 4 feet and loves to swim the length of the pool and back. He's improved so much!




Planting was a fun activity. Every day the kids water their plants and see if they're blooming.




Making messes is a constant form of entertainment. I almost get as much time to unpack as I do cleaning up the mess.



Bug and Lizard catching! Max got a new bug catching kit and so every night we go out looking for gross bugs. The other day we were fortunate enough to catch a lizard! I let him go, though. Much to Max's disappointment.

(By the way, the tupperware is NOT the bug catching kit. That was the only thing big enough I could put him in.)

Mostly I'm still unpacking, organizing, and decorating. I am not ready to post pictures just yet of our new house, give me a few more days. I don't think you all realize how much I LOVED my Arizona home...it's been quite an adjustment.

I'm glad that you had a chance to update. I've been thinking of you guys a lot and wondering how things are going. I could call I guess, but that would be too easy.

I cannot believe that Max dives! Luke thinks he is really brave if he get one inch of his hair wet! London is just the prettiest thing ever. But I am so glad that you guys are finally there and getting all settled. We have been thinking of you and I know that that move is a killer but it will all be worth it, right? Maybe, but the swimming pool is looking REALLY fun. Take care!
