First thing is first. TJ and Olivia are now sleeping in their 'toddler beds'. They have gotten into the habit of going down for a nap at school so we figured they were capable of doing the same for bedtime. Up until now they have slept best on two sections of our couch, but we have made the transition. Not going as well as we'd like, but then again, it's only day two. At this moment, Olivia is asleep and TJ is still fighting it. (It probably has to do with the fact that he fell asleep on the way home from school and slept until 7:00.) I'll keep you posted...
Secondly, the Parks family was able to enjoy a change of scenery this weekend as we traveled up to St. Augustine for a little getaway. It was nice and relaxing:) We went up on Friday evening and returned on Sunday evening. We didn't do much of anything on Saturday...in fact we didn't even leave the house until 4:30! We just "napped" away the day...which was perfectly fine since we had no plans. We ended up going on to eat and then riding around Jacksonville to see what had changed since we lived in the area. It was a very nice ride around the city and the kids slept the entire time! We ended our night by stopping by our friends' house to celebrate or friend's 30th birthday. It was a nice low-key, kid-friendly gathering that was the perfect ending to our lazy day.
Before we left on Sunday, Terry's old roommate while coaching at UNF, Terrance, came by with his wife and beautiful baby girl, Evelyn ("Evie"). It was a house full of Terrence/Terrance's! Little Evie was so adorable and TINY! TJ and Olivia looked like giants sitting next to her. It was my first time meeting his wife, Rachel, and she was just the cutest new mom! Terry and Terrance ended up getting subs from Publix and, once again, we had a nice relaxing visit. After they left, we packed up/cleaned up the house and headed home:) Again, the weekend was not very eventful, but it was good to get out of Melbourne to spend some quality time together as a family.
By the way, TJ is now asleep in his bed. Olivia has since woken up and is now resting peacefully on her spot on the couch...

Evie is stinking adorable.
Glad you had a nice, relaxing weekend! Sometimes just a change of scenery is all I need to help with feeling like a spaz.
