Hello All,
I hope everyone is doing Well and in Good Health!
Well it has been four weeks and we are all unpacked. Everyone is doing well. Jeff is enjoying his new job and is getting use to working with his new team. He plans on transferring to the Knights down here and has been asked to join the Stewardship committee at our new Church. Today, was Jeff's Birthday and the kids and I surprised him with tickets to go see John McCain speak in downtown Tampa. It was truly a once in life time experience! Can I say living in Florida..I think our vote is needed....it is very close down here!! We have volunteered to help with the campaign!
Madison, well what can I say....my worries were for nothing! She loves her new school. (Espiritu Santo) She loves that she has P.E. three times a week and on non Mass days, she can wear her Bermuda shorts to school. She has made many friends and has made a competitive cheer team down here! Open House was this week and I met her teachers, they all nominated Madison for School Council and Madison was thrilled! The school has a Catholic School Councils of America. The teachers told me that Madison has a good understanding of her faith-and wants to learn more; I wish Jeff and I could take all the credit...we know OLMC had a lot to do with it!
John Paul and Mia are having a great time down here! They both love the weather, morning walks and swimming most of the week in the neighborhood pool! John Paul loves running around all the time without his shoes and chasing lizards on the patio. Mia is finally walking and I think she really enjoys the beach the best! After church on Sundays, we go to the beach and have our lunch there! Many have asked how is the weather, because of the hurricanes? We hardly have gotten any rain, we were so blessed! That is all the weather people talk about down here.......
As for me, It was hard that first School Mass day and not knowing anyone after Mass to talk to...and lets just say the people drive very fast down here and are not to kind to out of townees, who do not where they are going..With the help of a navigator, I have found the Costco, Mall and all the important stuff..I have joined the Mom's circle and Women of Espiritu Santo at church, both these groups are social, educational but they do a lot of service in the Community. I have volunteered for a few social functions in the school, this is not optional, it is mandatory..or you can pay $ 400.00 a school year if you cannot volunteer..The school runs a lot like OLMC in many aspects..I think that is why Madison jumped right in!!
Well it is late, so sorry for taking so long to write..I am having trouble with our family blog..I am waiting on some lessons from Beth..We will be in town the weekend of the 19th and hopefully get to see many of you! We are only bringing Madison..oh yeah..did I forget to mention; it is a added bonus that my parents live an hour away and enjoying babysitting!! If I can figure out how to down load some pictures, I will send some soon!
God Bless Always,
Donna Spray and Family..
