Florida

By now most of you know we have moved yet again. It was hard to say goodbye to Mississippi. We had made a lot of really great friends and loved so much about living there. Living close to the beach and the warm weather here makes the adjustment a little easier I will admit. This is the first time we have moved during the school year. It was tough. Tougher still that we were trying to get settled right before Thanksgiving. I started playing tennis again in August, and since it has become a really fun part of my life, we joined a tennis club here. I have had a great time and both Jack and Rachael are taking lessons and live it too. The club is very nice and we enjoy the pool and rest of the amenities as well. Now, I jest need to get Byron some tennis lessons... Our new home is in a nice and friendly neighborhood. There are plenty of kids that attend both the middle and elementary schools. Our ward boundaries are large and we for the first time in almost 10 years don't live 2 miles or less from our building. We have been spoiled by this and now driving 30 minutes to church isn't high on my list of likes! The kids are all enjoying their new schools and making friends quickly. They have great teachers too. Byron's job is stressful and he works long hours. Hopefully things for him will even out and he can enjoy work more. It is a learning experience for sure! I will try and post photos when I get more on the ball! Until then I am glad to finally be back to updating our blog. Sorry for the long absence. Jack was baptized the weekend before we moved. It was so nice to have had this event in our ward in Madison. We left behind so many great friends.

Rachael lost her first tooth and the tooth fairy was able to make it to our new home. She is so on the ball.
