Away We Go

In a few hours we are departing for Florida. I am hoping the 2 day drive goes smoothly. Our plan is to make it to NC/SC tonight and then drive the rest of the way to Florida. We will be visiting with my parents and then heading to Disney for a few days.

Thanks to my friend Kira for watching the house/cats while we are away.

Wish us luck and say a prayer!

Wordless Wednesday

New Pet

Yep, we have some new pets. And no they are not dogs. We are now the proud owners of 5 American Bull Frog Tadpoles, 7 pond tadpoles, and 1 African Dwarf Frog. Exciting, eh! In school we had tadpoles, butterflies, ladybugs, ants, and more. Well at the end of the year we released many of the creatures but I didn't feel comfortable releasing the tadpoles and obviously small dwarf frog. Cleaning the large tank has not been much fun, but watching the tadpoles/frog has been amusing! We do plan to release the tadpoles when they are full grown frogs.

Children's Museum

On Friday I took Ry to the Children's Museum. It's one of our favorite places to go and we certainly have gotten our money's worth out of our membership. He had a great time exploring Mr. Roger's room, water room, garage, and art studio. We even enjoyed a nice lunch there too!

Wildwood!

We took an impromptu trip to Wildwood (NJ Beach south of Atlantic City). Trav grew up there. His parents still live there and own a motel there. I LOVE going and never miss an opportunity to go. All 4 of his brothers were going to be in town. It is rare that all 5 are together so we decided to drive up for the weekend. Despite our short trip, we had a great time! We went swimming, went to the boardwalk, rode bikes and enjoyed yummy food! We had a wonderful trip and are always so thankful to be able to enjoy his family's motel (Tide Winds Motel). We will be heading back for a full week at the end of July and couldn't be more excited!

Schools Out....for the Summer

Yes, that's right! I am officially done with school for the summer. Ahhhhhhh!!! I have nearly 2 months off and couldn't be more excited. I can't complain as I had a fairly good year but it's always nice to have a break. On the agenda- lots of vacations and work on the house. I hope everyone has a nice summer! (I know I will.)

Big Brother

Yep, you read that right! Ry is going to be a big brother. We are expecting another little boy on November 6 (my brother's birthday). Ryan is very excited! So far so good. I've felt well for the most part with no sickness (yeah)! We have no name decided yet although Ryan seems to like Foxy Loxy! We will begin the room transformation later this summer. Right now the nursery has been a storage space/guest room.

Fingers crossed the next 19 weeks go smoothly!!

A Perfect Day

Today was a perfect day!

Our morning started with Ry and I making popsicles for after lunch- strawberries, mangos, bananas.

Then he helped with laundry. (We are training him!)

After that I made breakfast- complete with eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast and fruit salad. Mmmmm!

Later we went to Schenley Park. We walked by some dino's, went on the carousel, at a snack in the tent and then waded in the fountain. It was wonderful!

Once home we ate our homemade popsicles. I made a German like dinner and then we went for a walk.

It was a perfect day and I hope it's a sure sign of how our summer will go!
