BABYMOON!!!!!!!!!!
We just returned from our Babymoon--a fabulous weeklong getaway in Sanibel Island, FL, courtesy of our wonderful family friend, Traci.
It was truly the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken--we slept in, sat by the beach, floated, napped...and repeated. And of course we went out each night for a fabulous dinner! Our only "activity" was an evening cruise at the Ding Darling nature preserve, where we were lucky enough to see three manatees swimming in their natural habitat. It was VERY cool!
Here are some pics from our trip!
The belly on the beach at 28 weeks
Darth on the beach
Mommy's view of the beach ("Oh look, I DO still have feet!")
Nick holding the attack snail (after Mikaela touched it, it spit at her!)
Our fancy selves out for our fancy dinner
If you can't tell from the pics, Darth had a big growth spurt while we are away...so below is your almost 30 week belly shot!!
And finally...we returned home to find our front garden in full bloom! Nick took the opportunity to start building our patio(s), and just about finished the small patio off of our kitchen stairs. We hope to build a similar, but much bigger patio, all along our deck out back!
Our josta decided not to embarass us this year...and is growing one of those sprocket thingies like all the other neighborhood jostas.
Here is a little shot of the whole lush garden...who knew we could make things come back for a second year!??!?!?!
And finally FINALLY...BIG CONGRATS to Hart, who graduated from his MBA program on Friday. We now fully expect him to take over the world, or at least become as rich and famous as Donald Trump, but with better hair!
