Ponce Inlet

Last week we took a day trip to the lighthouse at Ponce Inlet. I really thought the kids would get a kick out of it and we could walk around and explore the area a little. We really fell in love with the area, beachy and historic. Very old Florida. We all climbed up the lighthouse, the kids were really into it till about half way up and they both freaked out. Noah walked all the way by himself as he held on for dear life from the railing saying,"I never want to come here again! Why did you bring us here?" Sophia clung onto me and wouldn't go with her father to give me a break. We finally got to the top and the view was beautiful! The wind was crazy strong that day and it felt like it was going to blow us all away. My legs felt like noodles when we got to the bottom reminding me that I need to get in shape. Oh well, we had a great day outside enjoying beautiful Florida winter weather.

Happy Inauguration Day everyone!

Good reads?

One thing that I miss about myspace is the little forum Mary Catherine set up for us, The Pinot Playdate. On it we exchanged recipes, advise and good reads. I think the good reads was the longest forum because we all kept on adding our latest reads and if we like it or not, why etc....

So ladies, what'cha reading?????

Trying Times...

Peter and I have been practicing being patient a whole lot lately. Our sweet Sophia has become a raging lunatic. She's fine one minute and the next the slightest thing sets her off and she's screaming bloody murder. It's funny how we block out certain stages like the terrible two's out of our heads so when the second child comes along it kinda catches us off guard. Today I sat and remembered Noah going through his two's and the type of fits he used to have. Sophia is definitely a tough cookie but her tantrums aren't too far from what Noah's used to be.

My daughter is two and I know that all two year olds go through this very trying stage. They all have their special spin on it but they all do it.

This too shall pass........

Baby Shower

My good friend Esma and I hosted our dear friend Widalis' baby shower. We held it at a really cute tea room in Lake Mary. I really think it was a success, the look on Widalis' face as she looked at all the details said it all. It was hard work but we had so much fun putting it all together. It makes me wonder, who will the next baby shower be for? HUMMMM.................................

Funny man Noah!

This went on for about 5 minutes! Noah loves his baby cousin Jack and I think Jack is pretty crazy about him too!

Pain

Just thought I'd whine a little. My ortho visit this morning was more painful than I expected and it's causing a killer headache. I got rained on while leaving Noah's school and I still have lots of running around to do. Sophia is tired and cranky and won't nap and all I want to do is hide under my comforter.

Can anyone relate????????
