View from the tip of Key Biscayne
Driving from downtown Miami to Key Biscayne
David's new workplace
Our back patio and garden
This is what I fell in love with
We found the cutest, little town home on the most beautiful island outside of Miami. It is a 10 minute walk to the beach, 4 blocks from Noah's school, 3 blocks to the Winn-Dixie. David will be about 20 minutes from work. David and I fell in love with this place as we saw moms biking to the grocery store pulling their children behind, children walking home from school, beautiful beaches, community pools, and Sir Pizza. We are looking forward to our 2 year island adventure.
Julia started sitting up last week
Here just smiling and looking cute
Ella Joy has struggled with all the change in her 2 year world--new baby, sick baby, weeks at Grandma Christie's, selling the house, moving out of the house, potty training, paci departures. She is a little off and we are all just waiting for life to be normal and maybe she'll come back. Until then we will take pictures of her sleeping so we can remember how much we love her.
Sweet Noah. Yes, sweet. He has really grown up this past year. He no longer is my most difficult child, Ella Joy has filled the vacancy quite well. For the most part he listens and is helpful with the girls and so much fun to hang out with. He has a great sense of humor. This month he won 3rd place in the Chess tournament at his school. I have to say I was so proud of him.
Anyways this is our farewell to our sweet little house, we love you!

noah is going to pass you up soon, jenny!
Wow, you guys have so much going on! I can't believe how tall Noah is, and Ella Joy. The new place looks and sounds wonderful. I'd love to play chess with Noah next time we visit, but frankly I'm a little scared. ;)
I can't believe you take pictures of Ella Joys sleeping so you can remember how much you *enjoy* her! That's so funny!!
"Until then we will take pictures of her sleeping so we can remember how much we love her."
That's my favorite line of the whole post.
I miss you desperately. I'm calling you today. Or tomorrow. And we will make plans to see each other.
the end.
I'm so sad that you left and I wasn't able to say good bye...so, good-bye and best of luck to you and your family! It was so fun getting to know you and you are such a fun person! I'm jealous you live so close to the beach...enjoy your time there! We'll miss you!
i almost started crying while reading this post. i miss the jacobs!!! can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.
Wow it looks just like you described! I'm excited for you guys to get settled into the island life. Ella Joy will love having some consistency. I miss you guys already. I hope that things are going well in SC. Elisa was bummed that you were already gone last Sunday. I told her that I would tell you hi.
WOW it's like you'll be on vacation with those views. Julia is beautiful!
Jenny - we are just across the state from you guys in Tampa. We should try to get together sometime this fall when things settle down for you a bit! (Maybe we could meet halfway in Disney!!)
we miss you already!
I miss you. I can't wait to see you on Monday.
