baby cooksey's room

The baby's room is starting to come together.  Still to do:  put things up on the walls, finish making bedding, wait for baby!

belly update

Here is a tummy picture at 25 weeks pregnant.  This was taken almost two weeks ago and I'm starting to get to the point where I can actually watch my belly grow before my eyes!  For those of you who didn't know, we are having a baby girl.  Yay for girls!

Easter in St. Augustine

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States founded in 1565, 42 years before Jamestown, VA.  Interesting fact: It is the oldest city in the United States, but... not the first.  Pensacola was the first city in the U.S. founded in 1559, but three weeks after being settled everything was wiped out from a hurricane and the city was not rebuilt until later.

We spent four days in St. Augustine over Easter weekend and had such a great time!  There is an endless amount to do there.  We loved walking the huge historic district which includes the oldest house and the oldest school house in the country.

                   What used to be the world famous Ponce de Leon hotel is now Flagler College                                   The Castillo de San Marcos (Spanish Fort from the 1500's)

Florida Road Signs

One of the many reasons I love Florida... the road signs. Alligators patiently wait for pedestrians to 'move to the side of the road'. This is one road I will not be hiking/biking on.

Tres Amigos

I was just looking through some pictures and found some winners. The infamous Halloween 2006. Although it is nowhere near Halloween, these pictures bring a smile to my face. What a great night. Too bad Kjersten wasn't there, because i'm sure she would've looked just as attractive as the rest of us.

Blah Blah Blogging...

I am a blogging slacker. However, I am resolved to better document our time here in Florida. For my lack of blogging, here are two funny videos that I'm sure make up for my absence of new posts.
