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.
I was a little hesitant to stand in the middle of the street to take pictures. Luckily we didn't get hit. After we crossed the street, we walked over to a bench to rest. A few minutes later we heard a huge thump and Eric saw a lady flying through the air with her feet above her head. She had been hit by a car. Eric ran out to her in the middle of the street. She was amazingly still conscious and talking with only a very broken finger and a huge bruise on her head. Eric checked her out and when the police arrived they told him he could go. It was the craziest thing! 
Versailles-- Hall of Mirrors
And some not so great art... I think this one is called three white squares.
They don't know who carved this center statue but they think it must have been a kindergarten teacher. :)
As you can see Eric was very into posing like the artwork. He really wanted to do "the Kiss" too, but unfortunately we didn't know the French for "will you take a picture of us while we make out like this statue" otherwise I totally would have done it....
