Vacation Time!

We had a wonderful trip to visit family in Florida in April. We visited with Warren and Rachel and the cousins Ben and Jason. We all had a ball!!! We took Mercy to the Jungle Island where she imitated the parrot's sound. She enjoyed the petting zoo and even the slide in the playground.

The funniest part of the visit was when Mercy climbed in a china cabinet (top part only on the floor - which was being sold) and did not want to come out. I guess that is why they call it a china cabinet - where the "best china" is kept!!!!

Mercy had her first experience at the beach with the cousins and enjoyed the water and sand and digging and splashing. She really loves the water!!!

We had a great jam session with the boys and Mercy joined in with her tambourine and even played the real drums!!!

We moved on to St. Pete and had a great visit with Aunt Lynnie. We visited the pier and saw the aquarium there and the pelicans. Mercy was fascinated by the fishes.

These are memories we can cherish for a long time!!!

Easter 2008

We had a wonderful Easter this year when we did finally celebrate it. Unfortunately mommy and daddy were down with the flu and couldn't celebrate Easter weekend at all, so we postponed our Easter dinner until the next week.We had my brother and his family over for dinner and Nana and Aunt Sheila. The kids did an Easter egg hunt and had lots of sugar!!!! Mercy did her first Easter egg hunt and did very well. She caught on pretty quickly with collecting eggs in her little basket!! She even had little Easter bunny apparel for the occasion.

We even celebrated Nana's birthday as well.
