We arrived in Palm Coast!

We finally arrived at our destination around 9AM on Monday morning in Palm Coast. Everyone traveled well and we even had excitement on our way down. Angie (my sister-in-law) went into labor in Clearwater, FL and her mother kept us updated during the night with all her labor updates through texting.

Owen Mitchel Baltic was born to Emil & Angie at 5:24AM 8# 4oz and 20.5" long. I am hoping to drive south and meet him this week.

We were hardly at Butler's place and starting to unload and taking turns doting on little Willow when the bedroom door went shut and Scarlett & Cooper were laughing and have a good time. Well, Joy and Grandma Hartzler went in first and warned us of a mess. I was trying to 'cool' Jill down with a breathing technique I learned from some moms at the library during story hour.



What a mess those 2 made in a matter of minutes.


Yep, tore out all the organized baskets of toys, books, etc....


The boys & I and Joy went to watch Scarlett at her Gymnastics. Cooper went out on the mats.


Scarlett was all into gymnastics:


The boys would rather watch:


Seeing little Willow for the first time. I think she liked us!! LOL!!


First night the kids had 'class'. They learned the 5 little pumpkins sitting on a fence and they are still saying it to this day!


Even Kora got in on it:


Learning colors and letters. (Review for Scarlett)


Our first meal on our first night in FL. Jill made us lasagna. We also had applesauce and salad. We are suppose to take turns making supper.


Plans are to head to the beach tomorrow in case we run out of time the rest of the week. ha! Jill says it's going to be freezing cold at the beach and we will be the only ones there. We think the 70's temps are nice and we don't mind being alone on the beach.
