Attempt at Easter pics

Well, I tried. Kiddo was not having much to do with it.

The Great Easter Egg Hunt

While we were gone...

As mentioned before, Leyton's Gigi (also known by Leyton as Gigi New Knees as he calls her b/c of her knee replacement surgery), PawPaw and their dog Daphne came to keep him while we were cruisin'. I dare say that Leyton had a bigger time than we did. He went to SeaWorld, had his very first trip to McDonald's where he had his very first happy meal with his very first Coke, which I hear he sucked down without coming up for air. He went shopping and got a new movie, new toys, new clothes and new shoes and had powdered donuts for breakfast. Who could blame him for not missing us too much?

It made me so happy though, to know he was pleased as punch while we were gone. It made us relax and enjoy the trip so much more. It also makes me even more excited about moving back home so he can have just as much fun with his grandparents as I had with mine. I think my grandparents got more joy out of spoiling my brother and I as we got out of letting them.

Thank you Gigi New Knees!

Bahama Mama

We are back from our wonderful 5 year anniversary cruise to the Bahamas. It was so much fun, so relaxing, and so nice to have time to spend with just the 2 of us. I am so grateful to my fabulous in-laws who not only gave us the trip as a Christmas/anniversary gift, but also made the trip to Orlando to keep Leyton while we were gone. This was our first time to both be away from him overnight, so I was nervous, but we all did great and it didn't sound like he missed us very much.

I realized after looking at my pictures, that I didn't take many while we were on the ship. I guess I just didn't carry my camera around much. Our port was in Nassau, where we took a ferry boat to Paradise Island. It was GORGEOUS. I have never in my life seen water so ridiculously blue and clear. The pictures don't even do it justice. We decided against doing excursions through the ship, so we took off with our little map and explored the island and after walking about what seemed like 4 miles, finally found a public entrance to the beach. We must have been lucky to find a stretch of beach that was very quiet. I could have stayed there for hours. It was love.

An Alabama Wedding

Last weekend, I went up to the Gulf Coast for the wedding of my old college roommate and sorority sister, Kimmie. I stayed Friday night in Gulfport with the Skaggs family, so how could it not be a good weekend already? Thanks again, Heather! The wedding was beautiful and perfect, as was the bride. Of course, I got a little snap happy, but I mean, just look at her. You would have been snap happy too. (I told you would make the blog, Kimmie)! I also got a chance to hang out with Anzie, which was wonderful and entertaining as always- I can't wait to spend more time with her when we move back to the 'Burg.
