Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you had a wonderful day with your close ones. We had a grand time at the Conneticut Lewises. Thank you to them for hosting another wonderful Easter holiday. It was great to see the Lewis family, eat delicious food (I still can't stop raving about the beef tenderloin and ham!!!), and watch the kids race around finding eggs. The Easter egg hunt was by far Zoe's favorite - she is a true competitor and was really into it this year.



Zoe and I spent the day before making lots of fun Easter things. We colored eggs, made little Peep desserts and also a batch of Surprise Oreo Cupcakes. It was so fun to watch Zoe get into the cooking this year. It really is something she likes to do and watching her is priceless.

Trip to Florida



We took a trip to Florida March 21-26 and had a really nice time. First, we went to Orlando (Steven had a conference there). We decided to take Zoe the Disney's Magic Kingdom as a special thing for her before baby arrives. She was a tad too young this time but we made the best of it. She did like some things but was overwhelmed by it all. Her favorite was driving the racecars with Daddy (to see a brief video click here).

After Orlando we headed to Marco Island to visit Steven's parents. They head down there for the month of March every year. It's beautiful there - white sandy beaches, clear blue sky and blue-green water. Zoe LOVED the beach and spent hours building sand castles with Daddy and hunting for seashells with Nana & Grandpa. Steven and I were able to relax in the warm sun and even had a date out one night! Click here for pictures from our trip.

It was such as nice trip and it was hard to come home. We are back into the swing of things again and looking forward to Easter with the CT Lewises on Sunday.

Baby Update: I'm 17 weeks along (almost halfway!) and feeling good. We have our "big" ultrasound next week, Thursday 4/12 where Steven will find ot the sex of the baby....and no he's not telling anybody.
