In Florida

With AJ's new job he was traveling every week. Well, finally he got enough flight miles that Jack and I can fly free with him anywhere he goes! So we spent 4 out of 5 weeks of July with AJ in Boca Raton, FL. It was a blast! Jack took his first of many airplane rides and has slept for about 1.5 of the 2.5 hour flights every trip! THANK YOU LORD! At the hotels, Jack and I have new scenery, a new church with friends to meet, new parks, lots of new water activities (you know, because it's so HOT), and Mommy doesn't have to cook or clean!

So we save money on BGE and groceries at home and get to fly, eat, and stay for free in another state! What's better than that?!? We actually just swtitched up hotels for August so we have a full kitchen now which I like better, because I have to admit, I was missing being in the kitchen to cook. Not to mention I can control much better the veggies that Jack eats instead of being at the whim of the hotel food, which was alaways delicious but not always nutritious.

They have the best parks down here, and fun chairs in the hotel lobbies too! Here are some pictures of our beach trips to clear and WARM beach waters, which is great considering we haven't been to MD beaches in years (too cold and gross and crowded).

I signed up to teach pre-K Sunday School for the month of August at our church at home, so we're home every weekend this month but we'll be gone for almost the entire month of September! Making a few short flights to different cities to explore on the weekends but staying the week back in Boca Raton.


 Super cool flower chair in the hotel lobby!
 For a baby who hated his "independant play time" in his pack n' play at home, he loves to sit and play in there now, as long as Mommy checks on him every few minutes.
 Jack's first plane ticket!
 Jack has enjoyed throwing his "Lambos" out of his crib to see if Mommy would "fetch"... she doesn't.


 Here is one of the many "spray pads" they have at the FREE parks down here.
 Not too sure about this Allegator
 At the local Mall for lunch!



They say "travel now, while Jack is young and can go anywhere," and that's what we intend to do... especially because it's FREE!!! Miss all of you in MD! We'll take lots of pictures and hope to catch up the weeks we are home.

Cousin Fun

Jack and Camden are growing up so fast! Melissa, my sister, and I are having a blast watching how they interact each time they are together. They are always playing more and more together! HA! Camden is into the "taking" stage and Jack is into the "giving" stage so they play quite nicely right now. Until Jack enters his "taking" stage, then there will be some battles and "sharing" lessons to work out.

But for now, these 2 are peas in a pod! All these pictures I have to give credit to Melissa for taking. I don't have a wonderful smart phone yet so I never have a camera to take any! It's so fun to recap only a few months that this boys have had together! Can't wait to see more memories and bruises they will share!
