Here we are in Jacksonville. We finally got our Internet set up. Yea!! It took a lot longer than necessary,but we're back online. We were really lost without Google for a week. Especially while trying to set up our lives in a new city. We each had a quite a long list of things we wanted to look up as soon as we got it turned on. Last night we were fighting each other for the computer chair. I won because my things involved paying bills and managing bank accounts (and checking blogs of course).
We are getting settled in here. We love our house. Ethan is especially fond of our shower. I've found him sitting in it a couple times now. He seems to like it here. He has trouble finding me sometimes. It was easier in our tiny Spokane apt. There are more places to hide here.
Eric had orientation this week, but has had time in the afternoons and evenings to play with us. We have been to the beach every evening and we have been to the zoo twice already thanks to our zoo pass. The zoo is right down the street.

The beach is further, more like 25 min, but they are lovely beaches. Warm water and beautiful clean white sand. We have only been in the evenings so far, but each time we've gone, we've had the whole thing to ourselves. 
Ethan loves playing in the sand and helping Eric catch crabs.
Yesterday we took turns watching Ethan while the other went on a run down the beach. Eric thought it was great, I (who hates to run) didn't have as much fun, but it did feel a bit like Chariots of Fire.
