Here are some pictures from this month. We stayed at a family condo on South Beach in Miami for our vacation. The vacation wasn't what we were hoping for, but in the end we at least felt like we had a vacation. To make a long story short, upon arrival we learned the balcony overlooking the beach (which is the best part of the condo) was under construction. So not only were we stuck in this little one bedroom condo without a view other than the windows, we had to listen to constant drilling, hammering, and Hispanic men singing while we were trying to relax. The singing was pretty funny, though :). Since the balcony was under construction, they locked the back gate to access the beach. In order to make it to the beach, we had to walk away from the beach toward Ocean Drive, then down a few complexes on Ocean Drive, then back towards the beach through public access. It was at least a 10 minute walk... lugging two kids (Isabella not wanting to hold our hand), a chair, beach umbrella, bag of towels, and our camera. Yeah it was exhausting. They open the gate for the condo over the weekends, so the last night we were able to experience that luxury for the first time. Oh what a difference that made! Oh and another exciting moment was when the air condition stopped working only 2 days after our arrival. The AC decided to freeze over, so Jack spent an hour or so holding a blow dryer in order to defrost the ice. At least it got our air working again. Our vacation wasn't a smooth one, but we did have a nice time. We needed a change of scenery and it was nice to have Jack home all day for the week. We even stopped to visit Joe & Nicolette on our way home!
We hope you all are doing well! I really want to see some pictures from everyone! Especially some updates of baby Natalia?! We love you!

Another great selection of pictures! I love that Isabella enjoys looking at the book I made for you, Christina. Her hair-cut is adorable! She is such a loving girl. Veronica looks great in the bathing suit! I am glad she can get use out of it. She has such a beautiful smile. Jack looks very handsome in his aviators. Please tell him that Sofia has some questions for him about his hair after looking at the pictures with me. Finally, Christina you look lovely. I cannot believe you can still wear your bathing suit from pre-pregnancy!! Another beautiful Tompkins family!
