Well fall is here, or so the weather people tell us, even though it is still pushing 90 in the day. But we have noticed some amazing sunsets with the change of the season so here are a few beach and sunset pictures from this week.



These two pictures were taken from our top floor balcony.


Here are some pictures of us on the beach. We have never seen the ocean so calm with no waves at all. We could see fish jumping out of the water and schools of fish swimming just below the surface. Really early in the morning I have even seen dolphins. Not likely to get pictures of those though.









Rhiannon also started ballet school this month. She loves it. I know you have all been waiting for these pictures for four long years so here are a few to start you off.

So I'm getting with the times and creating a blog. Hope to keep everyone up to speed on what's going on with our lives and our travels, etc.
For those of you who don't know, Brad was just diagnosed with congenital esotropia and will be having surgery to fix his eyes in early November. They should stop crossing in and out almost instantly and will have a dramatic improvement on his fine motor skill developments. I hope this is the only surgery he'll need to fix his eyes so please everyone cross your fingers for us. Even with his eye issues, he still does something new every day. He is able to take a few steps between furniture items and he seems really eager to walk on his own. He is getting increasingly more verbal and prefers to shriek with joy at Rhiannon.
We went to busch gardens a few weeks ago and had a blast. The kids were so well behaved and it was about 1000 degrees outside. Now we are in the midst of lovebug season where little black bugs attach themselves to each other and swarm everywhere. Dragon flies eat them and they are also swarming in masses like nothing I have ever seen. Florida is a very different place than New England for sure!
