Our Trip to Florida

Here are some pictures from our spring break trip to Fort Walton to visit the boys grandma. It was the boys first visit to the beach and we had a great time.

This is the boys heading for the sound at the back of Grandma's apt. complex

Jonathan loved the Gulf of Mexico. This was about as close as Nicholas got.

Nicholas did enjoy looking at the water though.

Growing Up

Alas my little one is growing up. He is learning to dress himself. This was his attempt tonight. I think that it is great that he is gaining independence and learning to do things for himself, but he is my last child, my baby. Sometimes you just want them to slow down a tad and to hold onto these days. They will be teenagers and off to college soon enough. But I guess time stops for no one we have to cherish the days we have while we have them.

A Rare Occassion

I had to blog about this because it rarely happens that my oldest son Jonathan eats everything on his plate. You see he is very picky just like his mother. If something looks yucky to us we won't even try it. I'm getting a little better at trying new things, but Jonathan would live off of peanut butter sandwiches, chicken nuggets and yogurt if he were allowed. I was so excited that he ate everything that I had to take a picture to remember this great event. Now don't get me wrong he has to eat his veggies and everything but usually its eat 5 bits of your vegetables and then you can get up. But this night he ate everything without being coerced.
