Week in Florida

It has been a great first week in Florida. Chris and I have enjoyed every minute with our nieces, Parker and Haley (Nan's side). They have been teaching us some ballet moves (which Chris has quite the knack for), and no day is complete without a dance party in the living room! Tonight they decided to get all dressed up and do an impromptu photo shoot before dinner (pics to right).



We had an opportunity to see Kara, Dustin, and Delaney (Chris's brother and family) this past weekend, which was a blast. Unfortunately, we forgot the camera. We'll have to get pictures next weekend when we return for Delaney's first birthday! Convenient for us, two of our siblings, Chris's brother and Nan's sister, live within an hour of each other. Anytime we come to FL, we always get a healthy dose of family. What's better than that?

Speaking of family... Happy Father's Day to any dad's checking our blog! We had a fantastic Father's Day celebration today complete with 2 dads (Nan's brother-in-law, P.J. and Nan's Dad, Bob), 5 hamburgers, 4 hot dogs, 5 new neckties for Bob, and 10 pints of Blue Bell ice cream (that we barely dented, even with 8 people!). We had an ice cream tasting contest for dessert this evening in which we all attempted to correctly identify 10 Blue Bell flavors.

A quick Peace Corps update. Nan received a FedEx packet from Peace Corps requesting more lab work and more medical information. She'll have a few appointments this week, and hopefully get all requested information back to Peace Corps as soon as possible. We're still crossing our fingers for a September placement, and working on going with the flow.

Thanks for reading our latest blog entry. More updates on our road trip and Peace Corps developments soon!
