Friggin' Sorry!

Sorry it's been a month!

We have been really busy as of late with school starting back (Me & Deck), as well as work for Court! Tay is doing great, getting bigger and more beautiful everyday! I never knew how awesome having a little girl could be! I completely adore her! Deck is doing great in school and likes kindergarten. He did great on his progress report! I love my students this year, they are great, a lot cooler than last year, and for some reason they think I am cool too! Football is going good! We are better than last year, and are 1-1 at the moment, but look to do really well in our district! Go Flashes! I also got to go to Biloxi last weekend for a guys weekend with two of my buds, my cool-ass Dad, and some of our family friends! It was friggin' great! Food, a lot of drinks, and a little gambling equaled a fun weekend! (Thanks to Barb for coming into town for the weekend to stay with Court and the kids while I was gone!! You Rock!!). Court is getting back into the groove of being a part-time nurse and full-time Mom! She is the best chick ever! I love her so much! So good at everything she does, whether being a nurse, mom, friend, or wife!!! Mom (and occasionally Daddy-o!) are helping us out with Taylor on the Thursdays that Court works and I am at practice. She watches her and picks Deck up from school until I get home. We couldn't do it without her! She is the best and we love her so much! We really appreciate it! I promise I will post pictures this weekend (in between surf sessions on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning) since our team has a bye-week! That's it! We posted new pics on our Flickr account so check those out. Other than that, I am finishing my rum drink and going to bed! Aloha means goodbye :-)

Fay!

Since Fay rolled into town, we have all been enjoying time off from school, and in Court's case a day off from the hospital. Its been raining for about 24 hours straight and the backyard is holding more water than I have ever seen. Me and Tay got up yesterday (Thursday) to check out the news with mom, while Declan played with Lego's and watched movies all day long. Once the kid's were in bed, thanks to being inebriated from Captain Morgan, Court caught some photos of me out in the storm around midnight in my boxers. Good Times! We like being a random-ass couple who finds pleasure in spontaneous situations...haha!

Taylor & Bob!

While Mom was at work I had the chance to dress Taylor up in her Bob Marley onesie I bought her for her a while ago in Orlando. I thought it was cool, and I took advantage while Mom was away! Jah Rastafari!

School Starts Back....

We finally started school last week in Hilliard. So I get the extreme joy of dealing with 100 new 9th grade faces in my business classes. Declan also started his first day of kindergarten at Southside Elementary in Fernandina. He only went for a half day, and was supposed to have his first whole day on Friday, but thanks to Fay it has been pushed back. Court started back at the hospital on Sundays and Thursdays, so her and Taylor get to hang out on the days when Declan and I are gone! Other than that, we are just trying to get back in the groove of things!

Trip to the Farmer's Market!

Every Saturday on Centre Street in Fernandina, they have a farmer's market on one of the side streets. We have passed it before, and talked about going, but this morning we finally did. After getting $40 out of the ATM, we came back with all kinds of stuff and no cash in my wallet! The produce was cheap, but we splurged on two different kinds of jelly, avocados, a loaf of organic wheat bread, and some peanut brittle for Court. All in all it was a cool experience and we look to make it something we do every Saturday morning. Declan had fun and Taylor was great crusing in her stroller! We then went to The Sweet Tomato Cafe and had lunch, which is great for lunch if you ever get the chance to go to it. It's on 3rd Street across from The Green Turtle Tavern, our favorite bar :-)!

Taylor's Earache!

We took Taylor to the doctor on Friday because she was acting a little out of sorts the past two days. Since I have a kick ass wife/nurse, she thought it was an earache! After going to the pediatrician, we found out she was exactly right. So after dinner at Mimi & Daddy-O's, we brought her home and got her ready for bed. After bath though, Court made her laugh and smile by singing and talking to her! I had to take pictures of the fun she was having! She gets to where she laughs a little more everyday. It is great to see her little personality develop!

New Living Room!

We finally got the last few pieces to our new living room. So after a month and a half of painting most of our walls, we were able to see how they matched up to the ottoman and pillows we picked up today! We like it! It's a funky, kinda retro-70's look, to me anyways, but what the hell do I know about interior design!
