February in Miami

This past weekend, we packed up our car and headed over to Key Biscayne for a day at the beach. We haven't been to that beach in so long and forgot how nice it is! There are lots of coconut palm trees for shade so you can spend more time in the sand. Matthaios thoroughly enjoyed himself (his Mom and Dad did , too.) We felt like we were on vacation! Fotis and I have both been overly stressed at work so it was great to relax. The only thing we forgot was the coronas! (We had a few at lunch on the way home- close enough.)

"Grammy Pada"

Last week, Yia Yia Alexandra went back to Nafpaktos, Greece after being with us for almost 6 months. She was so sad to say goodbye to us and Matthaios has been looking for her in the house. A few days after she left, my mom came to visit so Matthaios got to spend some time with his Grammy PJ. He can't say "Grammy" yet, so he says "PJ" or "Pada" [Paula]. Too cute! I tried to get him to call her "Bubba", but she smacked me. :)


Grammy took him to the park to practice his soccer skills.

Those wrinkled eyebrows are *so* from his daddy.

"Can't catch me Grammy!"

"Dad- can I jump in please??"

"WEEEE!"
