Cute critters















Seriously, these little critters in Florida are so cute!! I finally found a tree frog to take a picture of last night. I wanted to catch him but I decided to just let him be. The boys also found a gecko for me at the pool today...they are EVERYWHERE! We have to make sure that our doors are closed so that they don't get in the house. They are so much fun!! So, I'm sharing pictures...am I a hick from the sticks, or what? Ha!
We have stairs in our house. I was a little afraid of Olivia climbing them but she really doesn't pay attention to them. She started climbing them for the first time yesterday and cried because it was too hard, so cute!!! Can you tell that I love my baby girl???
Also, today our church walked the cross from the high school (where they have been meeting for the past two years) to the new church building. We joined them and had a worship service together. Isaac and Josiah were so excited because their buddies Ian and Sean were there (their parents and I have decided that our boys should not sit by each other in church...they had too much fun, ha!)
We went to the pool later on with two couples from our church...Ian and Sean included. :) Olivia got in the swimming pool for the first time. She did great as long as we held her close. I'm being brave and posting an awful picture of me in the pool. Only because I think that Olivia will make up for it with her cuteness. :) I like smiley faces. :)
And...last, there are some pics of the boys riding their bikes on our LONG driveway and of Olivia with us. Enjoy!
P.S. I worked really hard at getting all of these pictures in order but it was all done for nothing!!!
P.S.S. Olivia drank real milk for the first time today...it didn't even phase her! Cheaper food for Olivia, here we come!! :)

What a great day for you guys! I'm so happy for you. By the way, the frogs and lizzards would totally gross me out!

AMAZING---this from the girl that screamed every night when she saw a spider in her room in the attic!! You and creatures---never thought I'd hear it! CUTE pics!

Are you kidding me? Frogs and lizards are my friends...they EAT the spiders!! :)

Lizards aren't bad!! You'll get used to having to get them out of your window and let them outside!! What a great day and I love seeing updates everyday, it's almost as if you never left, but you get prettier weather ;)

And what about the grass there? Isn't it a weird texture, have you noticed??

Oooh, yes! I really don't care for the grass. I don't know what kind it is but it's not something to picnic in, ha!

I love Liv's ponytail. And your pool pic is great. When your skin starts to relflect that of a Floridian you won't even notice you are in the picture. I met a lady from Florida this weekend, she moved there from California, she was here visiting her best friend for XIT. I thought that was so funny. We talked about your walmart experience and she said she thought the same thing. And the afternoon rain took her a awhile to get used to. She gave me one warning for you. Watch for the old ladies, they are vicious in their own right. She's even had a few cart "accidents" while getting in line to check out.
