just getting started...

So this is it...our families first attempt at blogging. Sorry it took so long to get up and running but we have been enjoying our new home and some down time together. The move went great....thanks to all of you who helped clean, pack, and load that crazy huge moving truck. When we arrived we had two weeks to set up and explore our new town before Josh started training at his new school. We have fallen in love with Sarasota, it just fits us. It is very laid back here and the weather is awesome! Our first home was a little cottage five minutes from Siesta Key, we spent almost everyday at the beach that first few weeks. Finally, it was time to clean the sand out of our shoes and dig our backpacks out of storage...school puts such a damper on our beach days. Now Gavin and I sneak to the beach in the mornings to play in the sand and hunt for sea shells. Saturdays are still devoted to the ocean, the girls say it is their favorite place on earth!

We move this week into our new place, we are excited to unpack all of our things and truly feel "at home" here! Gavin turns three at the end of the month and has entered big boy world, we potty trained when the girls went back to school, he did awesome! Our new little man is due in two weeks...we can not wait to meet him! What a special little blessing he will be to our family!

We miss our friends and family deeply, we talk about you all the time and share stories of our Colorado friends with our new Florida friends. You are precious to us and we have LOVED doing life with you the last 7 years! We will keep in touch...promise! The plan is to come to Colorado for a month this summer, probably in July, we will let you know as soon as we know!
Have a great fall...if it gets too cold just come on down and see the Longenecker's in Florida!

P.S. Just wanted to let you know our phone numbers are the same and so is our email address, we will not change those.
