Today was the only rainy, cool day we had on our vacation. We had a low-key relaxed start to our day and were greeted by a bunny on the patio this morning. After Evan’s nap, we went to Bucket’s for lunch and then hit a few souvenir shops in search of a couple new magnets. We didn’t find what we...

Another glorious day means another day at the pool. It’s a tough life but somebody has to do it! Evan has been so great about napping by the pool in his stroller all week. Thank goodness we brought the Bob instead of the umbrella stroller. This way we can maximize pool time for the adults while the little one sleeps…it’s...

Mommy and Gramma went to breakfast and shopping... ...And left me in charge of Daddy and Papa. That's a big job for a little guy like me!

Is it me or does every month seem to go by faster and faster than the last? Evan is ten months old today! And what a way to celebrate…with another beautiful and fun day in Florida. We spent most of the morning and early afternoon by the pool again (gotta take advantage of this beautiful weather!) and then went to...

Today we had a big day and spent the day with Jon and Allie!! We first met them for lunch at Arizona pizza and then went to Lakes Park after that. It was a mostly cloudy day but perfect weather for walking around the park. We have driven by the park hundreds of times but have never gone...until today. It...

(Warning: The blog posts to follow may seem a bit repetitive…pool, fun in the condo and eating out…rinse and repeat. We did have quite a few repeat activities but we had a ton of fun!)Today was our first day in Florida and what a better way to spend the day than by the pool! The weather was beautiful and greatly...

And we're off!

We leave for Florida tomorrow and we are so looking forward to the warm sunshine and a nice long visit with Papa and Gramma. I think they will be amazed at how much Evan has changed since Christmas when they last saw him. We are all packed and ready to go…just need a “quick” haircut. This is serious business Papa...

Tonight while I was at class, Evan helped Daddy install two baby gates. We have had these gates since before Christmas but they are now necessary. When they were done working, the boys had fun playing in the tent that was airing out in the basement from Bruce’s winter camping trip this past weekend. I am sure there will be...
