Naples Life

Since our house won't be complete until August we will be spending basically the whole summer in Naples.  We are so thankful to have this place, thanks Mom for letting us invade your beautiful home! We are taking very good care of it :)  It's great here cause everyone has their own room and Reagan has a full crib set up here (we bought a real crib here when Jake was a baby, they sleep so much better than in a pack and play).

Rob is still technically on his "house hunting" leave and doesn't have to go back up to Tampa until Wednesday so we are kind of on vacation mode still.  Once he goes back to work the kids and I will need to get on a good summer routine.  Rob will be driving up to Tampa early on Monday mornings and driving back to Naples after work on Fridays.

This picture was taken in the hotel in Clearwater, I love dressing Reagan in Ava's Hawaii swimsuits.  She looks so much like Ava too!

Now here we are in Naples! Reagan loves splashing around in the water.

 We celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary this weekend.  We went to one of my favorite spots down here, the Snook Inn on Marco Island.  Aren't we looking tan? :)

 And in other big news, we took off Ava's training wheels this week! It only took her a couple days and she is doing great without them.  She still needs to practice a bit more to be comfortable with riding around fast like she used to but she's getting there! It was so much easier to teach her here rather than in Quantico, there were so many hills there.  The quiet streets of the neighborhood here were perfect!

 Jake got a new Spiderman bike.  We didn't bring his bike with us because he was getting really big for it, so we got him a new one here.  He is obsessed with spiderman and loves his new bike!  (Ava also got a new big bike yesterday but that will be another post).

 Reagan loves playing on Ava's bed, if she bounces herself up she can see herself in the mirror on the dresser and she thinks it's fantastic.  She's still not crawling but she's getting there.
