Wonderful Week - Part 2

As you can see, we spent a small amount of time in and around the pool during our week in Florida. For a full month beforehand, all Marie could talk about was her bathing suit or her "t-suit" as she calls it. While we were in Florida, every day all she wanted to wear was her bathing suit (although she didn't necessarily want to actually be in the swimming pool). This week here at home, she has attempted to put it on over her clothes, in fact. Not sure what the attraction is; Momma cringes when she has top put a t-suit on. But Marie loves to wear hers!

More than her love of her bathing suit, she loves being with her family. Her are some great photos of her time with them in Florida.

Marie and cousin Luke enjoying some peanut butter crackers (an awful lot)!

The bigger cousins have left so Marie can start getting some one-on-one with Grampa.

We had a wonderful week in Florida (and Georgia too)! Momma got some cherished minutes in the pool on the tube, with a book...during nap time. Jim and I both thought it was fantastic to not worry about lesson plans or interfaces or any work blah-blah for a few days. We also thought it was interesting to experience the difference of vacationing with a child as opposed to how things were pre-child. Both are for sure great but a little different.

Today we woke up to a dusting of snow. Yes, it is April 12th. That just ain't right.

the pool water looks won-der-ful! we are glad the weather was good on the Florida end!

I bet Marie thought highly of having the pool all to herself (and with cousing)... No one splashing her, unless she wanted to be spashed!!!

good times!
ps... Maries suit is oh, so, cute!!

Ahhh... what part of Florida were you guys in? It's still too cold in Orlando to hit the pool. Or was it heated? Gracie was very intimidated the first few times we tried to get her in the pool. By the end of the summer, we couldn't get her out of it!

Glad you guys had such a great vacation! Let us know if you are in our state again... we would love to see you guys! :)
