Jacksonville House-Hunting

Should it be house #1?

Or house #2?

We knew we wanted to live in Eagle Harbor. We looked at six or seven homes in this neighborhood and three or four in the FI Plantation neighborhood.

We were worried about the small lake/pond in the backyard of house #2.

We really liked the screened porch on house #2.

The backyard view was quite lovely.

The sunset on Doctor's Lake was heavenly and so near house #1 we could walk to it.

Ultimately, as the sun set on our house-hunting adventure . . . it was house #2 that felt the best.

Way to go! They were awesome!

Fantastic job, Capeners!

Aleya's 4th Birthday

Aleya is 4 years old now. We first had a family party for her.

It's not quite a cake, but still cute.


Aleya has never had a "friend" birthday party, so I decided to have a surprise party for her at dance class.


The girls all decorated cupcakes.

Aleya said, "This is the BEST birthday party EVER!"

It was a quick party, but perfect for Aleya.
