We got up this morning and got dressed.
We went to a flea market. We walked through a beautiful garden to get there.
Me, Ben, Michal, Faith, Grace, Nissi, Judah, Josiah, Daniele & Jenna.
We bought cute little shell bracelets.
Ben bought fruit.
We ate lunch at a park next to the water.
Played at the park.
I was swinging kids like there was no tomorrow.
These kids are too little to know how to do it alone.
Someone just passed gas in this room. And Faith said, "Okay, which one of my
beautiful sister's just did that."
After lunch, I took the kids to the library so Daniele and Jenna could look at some thrift
shops.
While we were at the library Josiah (he is just turned 2) went missing. So I'm looking
all over the kids section and finally find him under a computer desk. He had crawled
under there to number 2 in peace. Oh Lord, I haven't smelled something like that
since who knows when. Sadly I forgot to ask Jenna for the diaper bag. So we were
stuck with smelling up the whole library. It was awesome.
Our Mother & Father came to pick us up. And there were diapers involved.
And we all went to look at the Manatees. Judah (3) started to say something about a
stupid coconut. Then looked at me and my father, and changed it to "silly coconut".
Michal & Nissi started running out into the road thinking there were no cars. But there
was one. And It didn't stop so they just froze in the middle of the highway.
We went back to the house to have a snack and a rest time. After that we loaded up
and went to the beach. We had a great time. But by it was getting dark and Nissi and
Judah were soaked and whining. I wrapped them up in towels and they both thought I
wanted them to sit in my lap. So they start fighting to get in my lap. And I'm just like
hey I didn't invite anyone in my lap. So they each just cuddled up next to me whining to
go home. (Well we couldn't go home until Jenna and Daniele got to the beach)
So I asked Faith to hand me what she was reading and I read them White Fang.
Well I didn't actually read the whole book. I just basically told them the story, the
exciting parts and showed the pictures. I guess it was a little bit adorable.
When Jenna, Daniele & Ben got to the beach, we went home.
We ate Mexican, watched a movie and had strawberry shortcake & ice cream.
The little kids are asleep now. And I was watching a movie with the old people.
But it was Inception and apparently I was asking too many questions. Everyone kept
yelling at me.
Whatever.

I love Keylime pie.
We had a great beach day with Vaads. It was fun. But Ben was too sick to go with us.
I went to the Publix to get some groceries. Things like limes and eggs.
Made a huge seafood dinner.
Now just watching movies with Nissi and Grace till they fall asleep.
Beau told me - If I would just spend more time on facebook and the internet, I would
have more friends and people would like talking to me.
I told him - He may be right about that. Also if I would turn into a boy maybe all the girls
who love talking to him and Ben would want to be friends with me too. Just a thought.

Florida

I'm sitting in my Grandmothers sun-room right now. We are in Satellite Beach, FL
We will only be down here for a very short time. And that short time is full of meetings and appointments and whatnot.
Its overcast, but I can see the sun shining behind all the clouds a little bit. All the windows are open and there is a very nice ocean breeze. It all smells like rain. Its been pouring hard today. I love it when it rains here.
I've been working on our newsletter/DVD thing all morning. packaging it and all that. But I'm heading to the library now.
Ben is wearing a bright red shirt spinning around and dancing in the rain outside.
I love him so much.

I'm happy.
I realized what I was missing all this time.
It was Florida.
