Settling Back In

It has been a day of cleaning and re-sorting after a whole week away from the house. It was hard to get the kids down for the night, but we did it and all is quiet at 9:30. It is really strange to come home after a week's vacation. I felt like were living a different life while at the beach, I didn't have to share Kelly with ball fields and I didn't have to drag the kids out of bed at six in the morning. Now tomorrow it is back to the daily grind of school and work and having to cook dinner. I guess that is why it is called a vacation 'get-away' because you have to come back. Kelly and I have decided we would like to retire on the water some day, if not sooner. It doesn't have to be the beach just somewhere peaceful and serene.

Fun at the Beach

We just finished the long, 9 hour drive home from New Smyrna Beach where we were joined with Kelly's Mom and Step-dad and my family stayed in Daytona(mom, pops, Heidi, Justin and River). The kids handled the trip wonderfully(the new DVD players helped) and were great at the condo. We stayed at the Ebb Tide Resort which was great with it's panoramic view and plenty of room for toys and the pack-in-play. Hank was a little timid at first with the sand and the ocean(being his first time as a toddler), yet Eden was full blast and loved it all. Kelly and I enjoyed our time with the kids and each other without the hassles of work and daily life! We are already looking forward to next year!!

Busy Weekend

Joanna and Kelly ScruggsWhat a weekend! Kelly was a little under the weather so I had to handle several family outings by myself. We finished up Bible school Friday night with a blast. Eden enjoyed singing on the stage and showing off her dancing. On Saturday we went to Eden's friend Ashley's birthday party--it was crazy. Sunday was spent on Carter's Lake with Heidi, Justin and River on their boat. It was the kids first experience on the water in a boat. We all really had a blast and got a little too much sun!

Eden, Cody, and Hank at the Park

We have had a great week. Eden has been to Bible school all week in the evenings so it has us off our normal schedule but she has had fun with Cody. Not much going on for this weekend, I think we are heading out to the lake with Justin and Heidi.ins and outs
