Summa Time!!

















Well we have arrived in Virginia Beach, actually got here a few weeks ago, but like always I put off blogging until I finally realize how behind I am. We lived here last summer as well, and once again I have been pleasantly reminded how awful HUMIDITY IS!!!! UGH. Not a fan. I'm complaining and it's not even like smoldering hot and at its worst......even bigger UGH! We'll see how long I can handle it before I confine myself to the indoors!! Better get used to it if I'm gonna live in Tampa in the future like Chris says. Actually there is a lot to do out here and I've had so much fun already. First of all, I LOVE the wives out here! We have such fun girls, some of which I have been friends with for a long time and I'm so stoked I get to spend the summa with them! Speaking of, I really think you girls need to start blogs.....Secondly, we've started out tradition of Sunday game night and this is probably the funniest time EVER! Major husband/wife competition! Third, I'm so glad the beach is like 5 minutes away, even though I now have to haul like my house there just because I have a little baby to take care of too! Kamryn is doing great, we've had a few doctor visits for little things, but she is as healthy and happy as they come! She is now a little over a month old and weighs 10 lbs 6 ounces. Little chunk! She loves her food! And I love her little chub that she is finally getting. A few other things Kamryn loves....
-when Daddy comes home.....this is no lie, she'll be screaming her eyes out and Chris will get home, pick her up, and she just stares at him and quiets right down......nothing like Daddy's touch apparently.
-her hot pink pacifier....she seriously won't take any other one. Heaven forbid it should fall out of her mouth...or the screaming begins.

-falling asleep on your chest. Some nights this is the only way she will go down.

-lullabyes.....but if your me, I know about 3 words of maybe 2 lullabyes so this somehow turns into me singing church songs?!

-like most babies...the HAIR DRYER! ....Life SAVER! Ps my husband still loves the hair dryer.....totally another story.


Anyways, there are obviously so many things we love about Kam's and I can't complain that she only wakes up once, occasionally twice at night. She usually sleeps pretty good at night, but doesn't particularly enjoy daytime naps. She is such a cutie though and we are so in love with her. Chris is doing great, life is good! Here are a few pictures of Kamryn...I need to be better about remembering to take pictures of US.
Ps. Chris and I are planning a trip this fall to somewhere tropical and FUN! If you have any personal suggestions feel free to inform us!!! We're thinking Sandals, Jamaica...??(just like The Office, baby!) We are looking at our options.

I love kids! You'll love the next few years. If you think it's bad going somewhere with one, try three!!! Oh, you will one day and then you'll say, why did I think it was hard with one? :)
I loved Costa Rica. It was so fun, cheap, safe, nice beaches, great temp.
