Baby Photos
I know I shouldn't make fun, but the photo below of Lillie made me laugh so hard...those wisps of hair she has on the sides of her head are just awful, but I hate to cut any of her hair since she has so little of it overall.
Anyway, we are back from Florida and had a great, if low key, trip. It was so nice to get to be with my family, I miss everyone so much...can't believe it had been a year since I'd last been there and seen the Grandmas. We did make it to Wannado City and Lion Country Safari for Tom, and also an ill-fated trip to Olive Garden (babies hungry, Tom acting up and me with a stomach ache, ugh!), but aside from that, we were pretty much at home the whole time. We did spend some time in the pool - Tom every day and me pretty much every day. Thomas is doing great with his swimming, he finally got up the courage to swim where he can't touch and actually paddle and kick at the same time - I was so excited! This he did on the very last day right before we left for the airport! I'm bummed with myself that we didn't get Thomas swimming sooner, I had heard that if you don't get them swimming around age 3 you get to a time when they are too afraid for quite a while and I think that's what's happened to us. It's been a challenge, but I think we have made a breakthrough now.
Jerry took some absolutely amazing photos which I'm now going to share...
Two more weeks (from today) and I'm back to work...scary but kind of exciting too!
Oh yes, and I'm 37 years old today - where the h-ll did all the time go?!?!
Love to all,
Melissa
