Happy 4th! (a little late:)

We had a great 4th of July! As most of you know we have finally moved to Jacksonville and


we are doing great! We are still getting settled and unpacking very slowly:) but we are having a good time. We were able to go to the beach for the fourth and it was great! We all loved it and we spent at least three hours there, and yes Dan was the only one to get a great sun burn, while the rest of us just tan:) Then we went home for a swim in the pool only to make it back to the beach for the fireworks later that night where both of the kids fell asleep.


We like it here in Jacksonville so far. There are so many things around here and so much to do. The library has a lot of things going for kids and there are a lot kids in our ward as well. We have met a few and I think it will be a good ward to be in. We've had help since being here as well. My dad was here for part of this week and then Dan's parents are coming in a couple of days. Savannah is thrilled to have them and thinks they are coming to see just her, which is partially true:) She tells everyone we see that her grandparents are coming to see her, even people in the store we don't know. We are doing great and will send an email out soon of all of our info here.


Here are Dan and Savannah fishing in the ocean. There were these little fish that match the sand that were very hard to catch!



This is what Jack does at the beach.



Here is the gang getting ready to watch fireworks.

So cute! Brit--you look so good! You're hair looks great! Jacksonville looks like fun, and maybe we will have to come out sometime or try and get our next rotation there!

Great pictures...Dan, it was great to talk to you the other day. You sound a little worn out, but happy...and certainly a proud daddy. I think I would be too with such beautiful kids. Hope things keep going smoothly for y'all in Jacksonville.

You guys look so great! I don't plan on going to the beach any time soon.
I'm glad to see you brought your baby to fireworks. I brought Audrey but I was feeling guilty the whole time, even though she slept right through it!
