Beach Trip: On the Boat!

We had two amazing boat days while in Florida!  The first one was a trip with the babies (Andrew's first boat ride!), and they both loved it!  Andrew loved it so much, he fell asleep an hour into it.  It was a beautiful day and we had a few sea life visitors, including a couple dolphin, four sharks, and a handful of jellyfish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second boat day was sans babies and we were off to see the Blue Angels air show at the beach!
The weather was perfect, and the show was even better!  We docked at Little Sabine and lounged and laughed the whole afternoon.  The Blue Angels were incredible - if you ever have a chance to see them, do it!  

I'm definitely already missing the salty air, the sea breeze, and the beautiful waters of Pensacola Beach, Florida!  Big thanks to our friends, The Smiths, for all the boating memories made on our trip home!

Baby #2 - Weeks 19 through 21

Eeeek, I'm way behind, but here's an update of weeks 19-21!  The best part of this time frame was the fact that I was finally slowly getting into feeling great and into the 2nd trimester "honeymoon" stage of the pregnancy.  It made such a difference!  More energy, more stamina, and no throwing up!  I also had my anatomy scan, a visit from family, and started to somewhat organize and decorate the baby's space in our room.

Florida Vacation and a Happy Birthday!

We are back from our amazing week long vacation in Florida!  We truly had a magical time and I'm already homesick! 

Before I do a quick recap, I want to wish a very happy belated birthday to my sweet mom!

 





 

Thank you for everything you did for us this past week!  It was a dream vacation, and so many wonderful memories were made!   You are such a joy and blessing to our lives.  Wishing you the best year yet - I think it will be a pretty special one, as you welcome your first GRANDAUGHTER into this world!  Love you always and forever!!
