Fun times in Florida

After a low key Mother's Day, Paul, Matteo and I went to Melbourne early Monday morning to sign all the final papers for the house. Here is Matteo signing for his first mortgage. =) (Pictures of the house to come in another post!)

Then we went and bought all new appliances. Cha-ching!!! I got my dream fridge - the biggest you can get!

Matteo had a ball running around the completely empty house. That afternoon, we left and Paul stayed in Melbourne. For the rest of the week, him and his friend Matt worked everyday on getting the interiors painted. They accomplished SO much! The house now looks amazing. They managed to paint the huge master, two back bedrooms, kitchen, nook, family and living rooms. WOWOWW!!!! We also got new laminate flooring put into two rooms, new blinds and lots and lots of cleaning done thanks to help from our family.

Our first meal on the evening I came back to Melbourne with Sebastian and Angelica to pick out paint colors.

The rest of the week, I got to have some fun with my mom and one day Emily and Logan came to spend the day with us. It is almost impossible to get a decent picture of these three stinkers!!

Another day our good friends Jen and Finn came over and we went to the Splash Pad at Avalon. This is the only shot with all three of them and it was taken the minute we got there. The next 2 hours they spend running all over the place!

Matteo LOVED the water and was so brave...

Finn and Sebastian ran around in circles....

Matteo took a break on the swings...

This kid loves to tempt fate! This is the BIG, jet that is in the center of the fountain. The first time he stood there to play with the water I was worried he'd get really scared and upset when he got blasted by the stream of huge water. But no. He LOVED it. The first time he was a little concerned, but then he went back, over and over again!!!

Check out this cute video of him in the middle of the fountain!

Another day Nana and Papa came to visit, we went to dinner and then played at the park. Sebastian and Papa were buddies.

More to come......
