Captiva Island Kickoff

We're so happy to be here! It was a wild morning. Before heading to the airport, we had to call the pediatric emergency line. Kate had a temperature of 103.9 degrees. After speaking with our doctor, she assured us that we should still go on our vacation. Everyone did extremely well on the flight. I was so proud of Kate, and I think the baby Advil helped. It's funny how people look at you on the airplane when you walk down the aisle with 3 small children. When we got to our seats, I told the man in the aisle seat... "You're the lucky winner." His reaction and the giggles heard around us were priceless. At the end of the flight, he commented on how well our children were behaved. If the rest of the vacation goes as smoothly as our flight, we're in good shape. We're so happy to be in the warm weather! We had a wonderful time swimming this afternoon, and we had a fun-filled night in town. Our dinner at Sunshine Seafood Cafe was delicious, and we capped off the night with ice-cream at Latte Da.

Grandpa drove us to the airport bright and early! Grace and Andrew were so excited for the flight!

Katherine's 1st flight

Once we arrived at South Seas Island Resort, we did a quick change into our bathing suits! We hopped on the trolley and headed to our favorite pool!

 

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Pointe. It felt so good to relax together in the warm weather! 

Grace and Daddy couldn't wait to go down the water slides at H2WHOW! Water Park. 

Our little sweethearts love riding in the trolley.

We're so happy with our room. It turns out our Bayside Villa is even nicer than the Beach Villa that we stayed in last time.

The kids had a great time decorating the table cloth at Sunshine Seafood Cafe!

 

On the way to Latte Da, we stopped at The Bubble Room. The gorilla cage was a big hit!

Official Team Member

It's official... Grace has been invited to join Aeon's Gymnastics Team! Next Tuesday, she will start out at Level 2. We're so proud of our little gymnast! She crazy about gymnastics, and we love watching her learn new skills each week. 

Costume Debut

It's that time of year again! I did a mini photo shoot with Grace today for her ad in the recital program! This year she is dancing to Carly Rae Jepson's "Call Me, Maybe!"

Manis & Pedis

We're almost ready for our upcoming trip to Captiva Island! Grace and I went to get manis and pedis before playgroup this afternoon. Grace's nails looked better than ever! She had so much fun picking colors and the end result was sensational! I love spending one on one time with my big girl!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

While Dan was in Vail for "work" this past weekend, Grace and I did a little party hopping. On Saturday, we went to Riley's house to celebrate her 5th birthday... Barbie style! Grace had so much fun making her Barbie a beautiful dress and creating a fashionable Barbie tote! On Sunday, we headed to ENA Gymnastics to celebrate Emma's 5th birthday! Grace loved checking out the new gym and spending time with her story time friends. I had such a great weekend with the kids. We sure missed Daddy, but I loved cuddling with them on Saturday night. We watched Monsters, Inc. and popped popcorn. I'm looking forward to spending some quality family time together in Florida this week!

Grace's creations! Check out Barbie's dress and Grace's fancy new tote!

Emma and Grace loved the hot pink Barbie cake!

Riley and Grace had so much fun celebrating Emma's special day!

Grace received a ribbon at the party!

Puzzle Man

Andrew loves puzzles! He attacked his Jake and the Neverland Pirates (24 piece) puzzle this morning, which he received in his Easter basket. He completed it lickety split!

So, I gave him the 48 piece puzzle from another one of his baskets, and he finished it without batting an eye! I'm so proud of my smart little man!

Home Sweet Home

We found our new home! We'll be Mahwah residents before we know it! We can't wait to move in on June 15th!
