Still afloat, still on vacation

Some photos because I am so qwerty-capped that I can only type with hunt and peck...help! I'll get used to it in a few months. I have to because I now own an American computer.

We are here in Florida on vacation until September 8th but Seb left last week to start his job in Mexico. I miss him already. Dads are good to have around as I just found out--handy as hell. I can't believe how nice it is to have someone else around to field a temper tantrum or clean up poopy toddler jeans. Seb has been living away from us for over a year and a half now and I think I've learned what it's like to be single mom over that time. I'm happy it's finally ending and we'll be together each evening again.

And so yes we're still on vacation with the parents in Florida. Little S fits right into the Florida lifestyle of family and boating and swimming pools so I think he'll be sad to leave for Mexico but I'm kind of eager to get there and get settled. I'll miss leaving my family but I do really miss not having a house and not having a kitchen. I want things to get back to normal and I like domestic life so I really miss not having those comforts.

Okay some photos.

Here is a photo of Little S playing cache-cache with another little boy at the Dunedin Marina. He doesn't understand that you have to hide better and not run out laughing all the time.



And here is Seb taking a picture of me while talking to an old man from Holland which is why the horizon is sliding into the sea. He's a lazy photographer even when he isn't distracted so telling his life story to strangers, well we're lucky he got me in the photo at all. And to top it off I was posing with my arm in fish guts...ewww.


See I took these next two photos. The horizon is nice and straight and Florida sure is pretty isn't it.

What beautiful pics! That's enough to make me homesick!

Looks like your baby bump is coming along quite nicely. You look cute!

Enjoy your time there!

i know how hard it is to be far from family, so for whatever it's worth, there's any easy way to keep in touch with them. i recently heard about tokbox.com, which is esentially free video chat. makes the distances between family seem less, although at times, i sort of welcome the space. :)
