Spring is in the Air

This time of year in Florida might be my favorite. Sure, the summer heat is great for dips in the pool and trips to the beach. The fall is nice when it begins to cool and the short winter is a fun time to break out the hats and scarves for a minute. But when we can open all the windows and big sliders and just let the cool breeze float through the house, when we can take long walks as the days start to stretch a bit longer, I just feel ... relaxed. And relaxation is definitely a precious commodity these days. Just about to enter my third trimester with our newest bundle of joy, Molly Caroline. Getting bigger, getting tireder, feeling lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and can't wait to meet her. Conor tells me every night, "I want to see Molly" ... so I lift up my shirt and we pat her and he gives my belly kisses (and sometimes raspberries) and sometimes he "tickle, tickle, tickles" her (his new favorite thing.) In two weeks we will get to see her for the first time on the 4D sonogram, so cool!

For now, some pictures from the last couple of months:

Cookies from TT's that spell his name

Self Portrait

Bubble Bath Time


Chilly January Park Time





Conor and Daddy time before bed. Notice Conor's poor shaved head... he pulled out a big chunk in the front over a week when he was sick after Christmas and I finally couldn't take it anymore so Ren shaved it. I hope it grows back! For now he looks even MORE like a mini-daddy!

And a visit from our California relatives Aunt Carol and Uncle Bob. Had a great time catching up and eating brunch at the Terrace, yum!
