We went to the beach Saturday morning from about 10:30 to 1:30 and it was great! The kids had so much fun...stressed me out just a bit. Raegan is really fearless and kept going in the water to her waist, the waves were knocking her down and she was cracking up. The waves were really tame, but it still freaked me out some. Logan runs in towards the waves and as they crash he runs out...it's pretty funny :) After that we went to White City Park, really shady park with a nice little playground. They were pretty good, got a little tired though. We went out to dinner, and then home. It was nice!
Sunday we didn't do too much in the morning, in the afternoon we went and looked at some new furniture for the living room...it'll be a little while before we get it, but it's fun to look. Then we went to home depot and looked around at some plants/paint for the new house (when we get it). After Home Depot we went to a park for a picnic dinner. The kids played catch with Daddy and had fun on the playground. Was a nice weekend! Didn't get much cleaning done, but it can wait :)

HOLY COW!!! It's been since Thanksgiving that I've posted anything!
So, I thought, maybe I should type something up....lets see if I can remember anything:
December - we actually celebrated Christmas in Chicago in 2007. It was lovely, we drove up in our nice new Kia Sedona. We really were thankful we chose a dreaded mini-van after that trip. The kids were awesome on the drive, I was shocked!!! They saw their first snow, and they really enjoyed it. Donovan and Louise's new house is super cute too! That's actually where they saw their 'first' snow and then the big snow came the day before we left and Grandma (Chuck's mom) pulled them all around in the snow. We had a great time visiting friends and family and can't wait to see them all again :)
January - On the way back from Chicago we went to Disney World for 4 days (3 nights) at a Disney hotel and we had a lot of fun. On the first night though, Raegan threw up all over Chuck in the middle of the night and woke up just fine in the morning (thankfully). They had a great time, but we learned that 2 weeks is too long to be away from home for them. They missed their beds and toys, and started getting edgy in the last couple of days.
February - Chuck and I went to Epcot alone (stayed 2 nights in Orlando), went to a cool dinner show (Capone's) and had a fantastic Valentine getaway. It was so nice, and we are SO due for another getaway!
March - Chuck turned 32 this year and we had a little party here at the house, it was nice and he had a great time. We also decided it would be in our best 'financial' interest to stay here in FL for a while. We also decided we'll buy a house rather than rent, especially since it is a 'buyers' market. So, we're happy with our decision and we've found a house we like. Built in 1990, fenced yard, screened patio, and some nice character (complete with some nice big Oak trees in the front yard).
April - It's only just begun and we have been going in rounds with the contract on the house. We have found several issues via inspections, luckily though, they have been willing to repair what we've found so far. We have our final set of inspections this Thursday, and hopefully we don't find anything wrong! If we don't, we'll move on to the closing (tenatively April 30). We're excited and have lots of plans/dreams about turning the house into exactly what we want it to be :)
All in all we are doing well...a few nasty colds, one horrible sinus infection for mommy, and some long days at work...but that's he worst of it! I'm looking into preschools for the kids, so we'll see how it goes I guess. I hope we find something, but if not they won't perish without preschool! The kids are doing well, very smart and such personalities. Raegan is our 'drama momma' and Logan is captain attitude! They're great kids though, I completely adore them...and I've been missing them lately with working full time. Kind of sucks, but the money has done wonders for us, so I'll live through it. They do great with Gramma too, they adore her and she them.
So, I'll try and update again soon...it's hard to remember to, and even harder to do it when I do remember to.
Hugs!
