Working from Home, finally!

Hillary has started working from home once a week and it is great. Things are going well, although Pebbles and Hillary are having to make some adjustments to having each other around all day. One thing we have discovered when Pebbles tries to help is:
1.) She needs glasses. She sits way to close to the computer.
2.) She makes a great, but rather large, paperweight!

Its official, Nicole is going!!!

Look out Beijing, here she comes! The official roster was released this week and Nicole will be part of the US Women's Olympic Soccer team, yeah! Make sure to watch for her in the Olympics. Can you believe it?! Nicole is going to the Olympics! We are so proud of her and wish her lots of luck!

Sea Turtle Nesting Trip

A few weeks ago, we went down to Melbourne Beach, Fl (about 4 hours south of Fernandina Beach) with Heather and Brian, the sea turtle Extraordinare, to observe the nesting sea turtles. It was a pretty amazing experience. We were able to see them come up the beach, nest, and then head back to the water. We must have seen a few dozen in just a a couple hours. Melbourne Beach is a nesting hotspot! All the sea turtles we saw were loggerhead turtles, but green and leatherback turtles also nest there. We also stumbled across this great little hotel on the beach. We will definitely be back!

Its a Girl!!

Rusty and Sykora welcomed their new baby girl! Congrats guys!

Jeff and Katherine's Baby Shower

A few weeks ago, we went to a baby shower for our friends Jeff and Katherine. Jeff works for Rayonier. The hosts did a great job and kept everyone involved with games and a ton of food. Here you can see Vernon trying to identify the dirty diaper (a.k.a. a melted candy bar in a diaper) and the everyone had to try and pin a cloth diaper on a balloon, with two hands, one from each person in the pair. Amazingly, somehow Josh and I managed to avoid all of the games, whew... Congrats Jeff and Katherine!
