Necessito practicar mi espanol :)

Hooray - remember a few posts ago when I wishfully listed a romantic getaway in the future? Well, I became the master of my own destiny and Tony and I are going to Cancun in November to celebrate our 5 year anniversary.

We were thinking of going in September (closer to our actual wedding date), but my good friend Tracy pointed out that that is the middle of hurricane season. Plus it would be right before my sister's wedding, and that wouldn't work well. So, although it's a long way off, we booked our trip last night!!!! Six tropical nights at an all-inclusive while everyone else is at home shivering . . . . yummy!

So, if you don't hear from Tony and I very much over the next several months it's because we are both working really hard to sculpt our bodies into bathing suit-worthy shape. Wish us luck!!

Hoping for Spring

In light of the recent weather around here, it's pretty optimistic of me to put up a Spring background, but I couldn't help myself.

Here are some pictures from our adventures in the snow and around the house.

Grace's awesome snowman

And . . . who's that big boy standing all by himself? Lincoln can now take 2-3 steps all by himself!!

It's been a long time since I blogged without the crutch of pictures - I sorta felt like it was time to just type out some updates. So, without further ado . . .

Let's see, Grace is continuing to blossom into a two-year-old adult. She recently told me she, "didn't have time for this" ("this" being sitting in time out). She also asks Tony - at every meal - "So, how was your day dad?" Hilarious. Still no sign of progress on the potty training front, but we're not pushing that too hard just yet.

Lincoln is now rollin' in his big-boy carseat. He was just too long for the infant seat anymore and is over twenty pounds, so now he gets to sit forward like the rest of us. And he loves it; he no longer falls asleep in the car, he spits out his pacifier and babbles away. Linc (aka Bubba) has also just starting letting go of things he's pulled up on. He can usually stand for about 6 seconds or try to take one step before he plops down; he's definately getting bolder.

We're all getting Spring Fever around here - the sooner it warms up and we can go outside and play, the better. Grace has been having fun playing in the snow the past couple of days - she's a snowman-building-machine! Linc likes the hot chocolate and marshmallows better than the snow though :)

That's all I got . . . . . . . HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! XOXO
