The old homestead...

Decrepit old house...

...and the new spin: "Lovely beach front cottage, move-in ready!"


While in the area for a doctor's visit at Miami Children's Hospital, we stopped by to see our old house on 29th street in South Miami.  Needless to say, it was kind of sad.  The grass is about 3 feet tall, there's graffiti on the electrical box out front, and it doesn't look like anyone's lived there for a couple years.  The tree house out back, as well as the tree it was built around, are long gone.  The only things that are recognizable are the front entryway and the (now much larger) bushy trees along the street out front.  It's a shame, since the street varies overall from nice houses to ...well, this one.


For what it's worth, it didn't look too bad all that long ago.  Here's the image on Google Street View, from probably a few years ago:

Homestead Air Show 2010

Last weekend we made it out to the Homestead Air Show for the first time in about 25 years. The last time we were there was in 1986 (Facebook album):

This year, the weather was beautiful: clear skies, a brisk 65 degrees in the morning, then 75 degrees and breezy in the afternoon. Cooper was really excited to see the big jet planes, and maybe even Uncle Peter...

Check out a few of the best pictures below, and a bunch more in the Gallery.

Zoe's Walk

From Jessica:
This is Zoe's idea of a walk.  What a tough life.  She gets pushed around in the stroller with the wind blowing through her hair and her stick close at hand.  Just a little spoiled but we don't mind.  Enjoy!
