The Godwin's Big Move.....

Well as most of you know the Godwin Gang moved from East Hampton, CT to Wesley Chapel, FL at the end of last year.

We decided to set up this blog so everyone can keep up with the exciting things happening within the Godwin household. So I hope we don't bore you as we backtrack and highlight on what has happened in the past few months...

The trip down went very fast. I started out planning three days to travel and we made it in two....We arrived in Florida the day before Christmas and the kiddos have been keeping us very busy. First, we had Santa coming so we had to get those cookies ready for him and hope that he remembered that we moved.. Danyel was really nerves that he might forget since he had so much on his mind. But never fail, Santa found us alright and we had a fabulous time with our family together.

Christopher turned five on January 3, 2008. He had a small get together the weekend after the new year with the few cousins down here. Since we couldn't have the whole family with us, Cousin Charlene suggested that we get a table cloth and embroider "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on it. And at each birthday we will paint the kids hands and place them on the table cloth with their name, date, and age so when others come visit us we can take the table cloth out and everyone can see how they grew threw the size of their hand prints.

Danyel started school at the Double Branch Elementary School on January 8, 2008. That's right, she had not one but two weeks off from school.... LUCKY ME! So we tried our best to settle in and explore a little while Jeff was at work. But let me tell you, she was happy to go to school to play with kids her own age. She got Mrs. Edwards for a teacher and she is doing so well.... She is working on her first major project that we will be able to share with everyone soon...

Then we had another two birthdays in March. Which we surprised Danyel when Grampie Godwin came down to celebrate with her. So Jeff turned another year older on March 16th and Danyel turned eight on March 22, 2008 and what was next???? THE EASTER BUNNY.... We had to make sure the Easter Bunny had the new magical key to the new house so he could get in and leave the little kiddo's some treats.

As we are out on our bikes or at the play ground, the kids seem to have adjusted to the warmer weather. Christopher has decided that we should play soccer and I have to tell you that they will be sleeping well. They run up and down the full size soccer field and they don't seem to mind...

I will try to post some pic. later.

So for now we have to say by and we miss you all up north. With lots of love Jeff, Becky, Danyel, Christopher, and Alyssa
