We are so blessed!

Andre and I have recently been so aware of how blessed we are. As much as we love it here in Florida, we have been missing our life in California quite a bit. Andre struggles with how much work he put into building the football program there and now having to start all over again here. We have found ourselves almost being frustrated to the point of being angry all over again. Finances are much tighter here, we have had to hunt for a church all over again, and of course try and make new friends. Through it all, we are constantly reminded everytime we look at Mya and Trey, that God has given us exactly what we need and put us exactly where we are supposed to be. Life is good, our kids are healthy, and even though I may not be able to purchase the entire summer line at Gap right now, I have a great husband and 2 amazing kids that keep me insanely busy. How could I even have time to mope around missing my former life?

Following in her mother's footsteps (I hope)

"Are you sick?" She must ask Andre and I this 10 times in
a given week. We then must tell her where we are "sick"
and she proceeds to give us a full physical exam. She does this pretty accurately I must brag. I have shown her the proper way to examine someone (certain body systems exclueded of course), and she has mastered it quite well for a 4 year old. She got her first doctor kit when she was 2 and one day I was watching her give her carebear a checkup and I saw her take the thermometer and try and jam it up the carebears rear end. I don't know where she learned that. Her sub-concious must have remembered that occurring as an infant because I certainly had not done that for a long time. Her previous Elmo doctor kit was apparently too young for her. One day she announced that it was for babies and asked if she could give it to her cousin Asher. She said she needed one more like moms. Nana and Papa Bryant found this one and now she is official.

It is so hot here! We go for our daily walks either at the crack of dawn or late at night so we can actually breathe! Mya is thrilled at all the different bugs and animals that live in our neighborhood. Yesterday we had 2 large black snakes in our driveway, we have a family of lizards that live by our front door, manatees that swim out our back door, and many different types of unique birds. She loves it! Trey just chills in the stroller and takes it all in. Andre's summer training has started and he is really busy for the next few months, so the kids and I are starting to explore on our own. We are enjoying finding new beaches, parks, and of course good shopping.
