First Friends

Aunt Kim and Uncle Jeff rescued this great train table from their neighbor's curb for us. Nana cleaned it up, Papa hauled it to us and the boys are loving it! Thank you all! Free is certainly the best price!


During our first week back, one of my best friends, Jen and her son Finn (8 days younger than Sebastian) came to stay over night with us. It was soooo much fun - how I have missed my dear Orlando friends! We tackled the beach in the afternoon. I learned an important lesson. Beach means I will get soaking wet, so just wear a bathing suit. I thought we'd just play in the sand at the edge....but not so much. I was drenched, but happy!

Sebastian wanted to go all the way in, but it was too hard since I had Matteo too. I'll have to work at mastering this beach with two children skill...

Finn and Sebastian had an absolute ball playing that day.

The next morning we headed out to the Zoo but stopped for smoothies first. Matteo loves his smoothies. He could have cared less he was at the zoo as long as he had his smoothie in hand.

Looking at the cheetah.

And the highlight of the zoo is the very amazing and awesome splash/pool area for kids. They played and played and played. Now Sebastian says he wants to be a fish when he grows up and I think this might be why...

The only shot where Finn and Sebastian are actually in the same frame. Three year olds have a mind of their own!

My Super Sebastian.

And my sweet little one...he was just hot and tired. He slept the whole time the older boys splashed around. Maybe next time he can enjoy it too. We renewed our pass so I'm sure we will be weekly visitors. I'm loving being back! Can you tell!? And I am sure that in the coming weeks I'll finally be able to catch up with all of our friends so if you haven't heard from us, trust me, we've just been busy but can't wait to see you!!!!
