Watercolor, Florida







This past week we spent time in Watercolor with pretty much the whole fam. Rebecca and Chip weren't able to join us and we missed them,
but everyone else was there. We love Florida and this was an especially great trip because it was a great time to wind down before the big move, no more landscape work for me, and we had beautiful weather. It was hot, sunny and not too crowded. We ate great seafood, had a nice girls night out followed by of course our own guys night out. Hayden did great at the pool and even made several beach appearances. The little blue eyed, blond baby even got a little tan. He also got his first tooth. I think it had been trying to come through for some time now and finally did! However, Hayden's sleep pattern while on vacation went from 8 to 8 when at home to oh......waking up at midnight, 2 or 3 am and then 5:30 ready to start the day. It did not help either that he slept in our room literally right next to us. I am just glad Lauren is smooth and great and handling an angry little man (and big man) at all hours of the night and morning. I enjoyed the mornings that I was able to get up early with Hayden and either take him on a run or play with him and he is a happy, playful baby! It was a great week getting to be around him all day and night! Hayden also did great in the car ride down and back. He is getting big, so I know the car seat cannot be that comfortable. He did good, but not good enough to ride across the country with me!

Well we are back in Jackson now and spending our last few days here packing up boxes, seeing friends and family, and getting everything ready for our move to Seattle. We are excited to move forward and begin our lives in Seattle and closer to all of you who are in the NW, however sad and it is beginning to sink in how much we are going to miss everyone here (especially Doc and Gigi). But visits back and forth and we will try to do a better job blogging and sending pics. Also we are working on positing videos or at least links to youtube of Hayden doing different things. He is really growing up! thad
