A few words about the trip back: notice how few pictures/videos there are this time. Well, I think that sums it up. We were all exhausted. Bone tired. It was a hard week of sweating, sorting, shuffling, packing, researching, sweating, selling and then more sweating. Both Stephanie and Miles slept for almost the entire first flight. Thank goodness, because the second leg of the journey was a little rough. They overbooked the flight, so we were packed like sardines. The air conditioning didn't work until we were in the air-which had me edging toward hysteria. All those people sitting in a little metal box-roasting alive. Miles did great until a little bit into the flight. Some arching of the back and crying ensued (this was really fun when the people in front of us decided to put their seats back). Fortunately, I discovered that as long as Miles was facing backward and bouncing, he was a happy camper. So, add muscle fatigue to my list of woes. Oh well, happy baby trumps it all! He did fall asleep for the last 30-ish minutes of the flight, which was great. Actually, I couldn't have asked for a better traveler. Next up....a nine hour car ride to Oregon!

Getting organized before walking to the gate. I love how tiny and adorable he looks in this chair, especially in his 'big boy' shirt.
Florida Part Two
On the day of our departure, we finally managed to get a few family photos.
Aunt Connie and Nana
Miles is far more interested in the piece of tape he's holding, but we got everyone else looking the right direction!

All this play is exhausting
No, he didn't fall asleep while playing. I wish. He's been on a crazy sleep schedule- with the time change, new environment, weird sleep arrangements. Well, we're doing the best we can. Weirdly, I've been pretty mellow about it all. He even got up the other night around 8 something and was up until 10-ish and then back to bed. I figure, hey, we're on vacation right??? Here's what I'm looking forward to....coming home and having him wake up at 4:30 am for the day because it's 6:30 in Florida. It's a good thing they look so angelic when they're sleeping.
Not for the faint of heart
****WARNING: the last picture in this post is a huge, ginormous spider. Seriously. It's huge.****
A little snapshot of the bug life found here in Florida. These were taken on/in/around the screen surrounding my mom's pool. Just consider how well they show up on film. They grow 'em big out here.

Rain, rain
I'm starting to wonder why I packed our bathing suits. Forgot about the rainy season-oops. And, as you can see, Florida takes its rainy season very seriously. Nice change of pace from the dry, dry heat of Utah. Except for the side effect of humidity. Humidity...bleck....yuck.
Oh, and I know you hear a bit of crying. Don't worry, we hurried back inside and there doesn't seem to be any lasting effects. We've certainly had lots more thunder to test it out. Poor guy, Florida is really testing his limits!
