More catching up... Jun-Jul 2011 -Orlando

June
We arrived in Orlando late at night and picked up our rental car. We got an inexpensive hotel room with two beds, one for us, one for the boys (at least that was the idea) and a portacrib for Ronan.  We had been hoping (perhaps foolishly) that we would be able to quickly find a place we liked and a minivan within a week since Nathan would be starting work then. We ended up being in the hotel for two weeks. So the boys and I ended up being holed up in the room while Nate worked. The boys were starting to get cabin fever. Luckily there was a TV in the room and kiddie pool right outside our door otherwise it could have been much worse. It was so hot and initially it smelled like a swamp to me until I got used to it. The tap water tasted like swamp too. Well finally we found our van and then our home. The boys were so happy to have a real home after a few weeks in a single room.               




July

We had given away our couch and a few other pieces of furniture before we moved. So, after a trip to Ikea for a couch and bookcases, our house felt a little more comfortable.  Ronan took his first steps at ten months just like his brothers.

We celebrated the Fourth of July at home with some sparklers.

We also took a trip to Cocoa Beach.
