Finally

We finally have internet after 2 1/2 weeks in Florida. I won't blame Tony. I will blame Comcast for putting STOP on the wireless box making it seem that the contents were not important. So after a week of sitting in our apt. Tony opened the forbidden STOP box to find a wireless router! Score- we are back in business. However, no pictures. I won't blame Aldo or CJ. I will blame myself for putting the camera within their reach and therefore becoming a chew toy. I promise to get some pictures of our apartment up soon. We didn't unpack every box in hopes of moving again to our future 1st home sometime before the end of our lease here which is August 13th. We did make it seem like a home somewhat by hanging some pictures. All of our furniture arrived from New York within a week of getting to south florida but they misplaced or lost the hardware to both cribs. Big mistake! The boys have been sleeping in pack and plays for the last almost 3 weeks- I am sure they will have permanent back problems the rest of theirs lives and will have Mayflower to blame for it! All in all we are settled!!

Here is a few things we have been up too:
1) Amber found a gym- $200 for 6 months including childcare (NY was $100 month!) SO big savings there.
2) Tony has started his new job and loves it. He can walk to work and even came home for lunch once. We often walk to him for an afternoon hug!
3) The white Bagnulo clan had our first beach experience. Lathered in sunscreen, carrying our new beach chairs, two babies, a cooler with snacks, beach toys and an umbrella (side note- every store did not have umbrellas since they said its winter season even though it was 80 out- took me two trips to finally find one) we headed to the beach! It was a successful 2 hours full of CJ eating a bucket full of sand and Aldo barely escaping a jelly fish sting (its jelly fish season with thousands washed up onshore). Best of all no one got burnt!
4) Amber made a friend! She lives in the building on a 9 month rotation for her husbands job. She also babysat for us last night- score!
5) Amber had her best friend, Jenny, visit for a night.
6) Amber has found her 2nd home at Target!
7) We bought our 1st car!

There are other things we have done but I need to play with Aldo now- he is fighting for some attention! haa haa. He is growing up so much. Mainly repeating everything I say. He also has learned to get his way with his little brother. It will be an uphill battle with sibling rivalry for sure!

CJ is also growing like a weed and will for sure be walking soon. He just turned 9 months and is becoming quite determined to do everything Aldo does! And like his brother we will probably need a second mortgage on our house when they are teenagers just to feed them!

Off to put on my shorts!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry had to rub that in.....xoxox
