The night we got Seth's Referral...my birthday!!!! Savannah and Daddy surprised Mommy with her favorite in the Hilton Hotel in Cocoa Beach--Chocolate Covered Strawberries Savannah ready to give Mommy her gift, even though she got the best gift in the world
Mommy isn't the only one who loves chocolate covered strawberries
Princess! Do you know how hard it was to get her to sit like this and not touch the strawberries?

Mommy forgot her hat, so now I have a Disney patchwork one. As I closed Savannah's blog (even though I had just started it, but being a family of three is a past chapter in our lives), I realized that I have tons of cute photos from Disney that I never got to post after we got Seth's referral and were quickly preparing for travel. I felt that I wanted to share them and document what we were doing when we found out about the birth of our son. Also, this was a very special and happy time to celebrate Savannah, our last hoo-rah as a family of three, and all the fun we have had these past three years.
One phase of life ends and another one begins. All very meaningful and memorable.

Me and My Sister!

Just a few cute pictures of our kids together! She was my sister first It was so cute to watch her interact with him like this
Look at Seth look at his big sister
Here's looking at you little bro
They were both laying together. I kind of missed it and got her getting up. She is not laying on his feet.
Our friend Lauren brought us these flowers and they are Savannah's favorite color--orange
Take time each day to stop and smell the flowers
Someone had a bit of an attitude today
She is eating orange pepper as a snack. Unusual for a toddler, but she picks it all the time.
Possibly the Statue of Liberty--not sure.
Oh heaven! He sleeps in a swing (this is the carseat swing, but we have another regular swing upstairs and he loves it).
Love that crooked smile/smirkWho me?
Maybe I will smile and maybe I won't
What kind of face is that?

Baby Bjorn

Savannah likes to be a "Little Mommy" and do everything with her baby dolls that I do with Seth. She has been asking for, "Nana's Baby Bjorn." So I bought her one and here is how it went... Very good thing this baby is "paaa-tend" and not "weel" if that is how you are going to take her in and out. There we go. Now you are stable. Ahhh, baby!
I am now hands free!
Hi
Heaven!!!!!

Bouncy Boy & Giggle Girl

Savannah and Daddy ready to hit the track!
Energy before her run...
Anything else good to eat in here?
Here are some pictures from the weekend for your enjoyment. We got a lot accomplished so that was good. Since Rich had to work, it forces you to have a "get stuff done" weekend. We had our house and deck powerwashed while he was at work and they will come back to seal the deck in a few days after it fully dries (I don't know how when it constantly rains here). We picked up our framed portraits and Rich hung them up. I love them! I will take some pictures of the pictures. We went to Target (again) and to some bins and containers to get organized. We now have two neat kitchen cabinets and a place to put all the bottle pieces (when you use bottles with vents your dishwasher is always full and you are overrun with bottle parts). We will still need to go to the Home Depot and get some more stuff for organization. We couldn't buy everything yesterday because we had the Subaru, which is short on space, but good in the snow. Yesterday unfortunately, we need a space efficient car and not a wintermobile. We need a minivan--stat! That is next weekend's task. We are getting rid of our Saturn Vue for hopefully a Toyata Sienna. It is better on space but the AWD isn't that great and the gas gage and stereo are broken. Not to be Un-American, but we don't seem to be able to make a reliable car. I actually like the Vue, but Saturn is probably being discontinued by GM, so it isn't worth it to keep it right now and we need a bigger vehicle BIG time.
Hanging out having a Whale of a Good Time
Hi Cutness!
Does he look like a girl in this blue outfit? I was I asked at Target if he is a boy or a girl?
It is always nice to have your hair styled while you are sleeping.
Love that look
