Finally Time to update

I had such grand blogging hopes of documenting the entire moving process, but time got the best of me and all I could do was snap a few pics here and there.  

 Adam was gone during the process (surprise, surprise.. how does he manage to get out of this everytime?) 

The 1st day of packing, the packers actually packed my car key AND the spare.   To their defense, the key does not look like a car key and it was on the china hutch but it did cause a little drama as I had to go pick up the kids from extended day.  I ended up having my neighbors daughter drive me out to get the kids.  

Adam said I should have left the key in the car like I always do and I said he should let me have a key chain so it would be more recognizable as a car key.  Ha.  Both of us are right I suppose.  

Thankfully, the packer knew exactly which box he packed it in and we were good to go the next day.   In the picture below is why I could not look for the spare.. it would have been in one of those boxes.. or one of the other dozen on the other side of the room.

Just a few pictures.

Ok, so now we get to the new house.  Here is a view of the family room before our junk got here.

Adams crap. i.e. cables and cords.

Now all put together.. minus paint and some wall art and the rug (which came in the other day)

View of kitchen (can you tell it is my favorite room?), view is from the dining room.

I will have more pictures of the bedrooms , formal dining and living area soon.  

The kids are doing great.  We have them in a wonderful school.    There are quite a few catholic schools in the area so it did take a little trial and error to find the right fit, but I am very happy with our final choice and the kids are thriving.  

The dogs have an invisible fence for our non-existant back yard and that is taking some training.  They do great in the yard until they see someone.  Daisy has been popped more than Parker, and man oh man does she pitch a fit.

Poor dogs are going nuts everytime someone walks by, which happens quite frequently as the weather is perfect and the neighboorhood is very family oriented. 

I have been taking the kids for long walks around the lake and to the playground.  I dont know if I'm ready for the pool just yet, but soon.

We have seen more wildlife during this short time in Florida than we did in Georgia.   I'm sure it has something to do with the wildlife preserves all around the neighborhood.   Armadilla running through our yard along the patio, HUGE  turtles (Adam brought one home and the kids wrote their names on the back of it).   Birds out the wazoo, and I hear that there is a bobcat family close by as well.  I'm cool with all of it until I see a snake.  Then I may start to dislike florida.

The Neil hotel is open for business as well.  We have already had visitors and the spare room is booking up fast so hurry to reserve your spot.  We are about 10 minutes from the beach.  

Lastly,  Adam is up in Georgia right now.  We really wish he could be here with us.  He is hoping to come down for a long weekend in early April, and then will come down for a week or so when his parents are here.   Both kids have this sixth sense when Daddy is gone and like to creep into bed with me around 4-5am.  I actually dont mind it and love the extra cuddles and kisses I get from them.  They are always so sweet when they are tired. Ha!

That is about it for now. I'm blogged out.
