Beach Trip Recap - Coming soon!

I'm going to post something about the beach when I have pictures from Mom. So just be a little bit patient.

I'm sure you've seen this but I saw it again again and remembered how touching it is. Your cry for the day.

Beach Trip

We leave THIS Saturday for a week of beach time in Destin, FL!!!! Travis and I are giddy about it! We can't wait to walk on the beach and eat lots of seafood. Panama City/Destin holds a special place for me because that is where we vacationed almost every year when I was younger. My family took a few years off and now it seems like we may make it a yearly tradition once again!

We took this same trip last year when I was pregnant and it was so relaxing. Add Henry into the mix (outside of the womb) and I'm guessing this trip will be a little different ;) In order to make the drive down as easy as possible, we plan to leave at 1AM and drive while Henry sleeps. I'm a little apprehensive about that part. Oh, and about him eating sand or hating the sand and wanting nothing to do with it.

Pray that everyone going gets at least some relaxing "vacation" time. I've never had to be responsible for anyone else while at the beach - typically, I wake up, lay out, walk, etc. whenever I want. I've come to terms with the fact that this will be the same week that Henry and I usually have, just in a different place. A beachy place!!! So excited!

There is no one holding the camera it is just an inanimate object sitting ontop of the couch. Yet he knows that's where he's supposed to smile.

Crawling! Eek!

Well, it's official! Henry can now crawl! Like really crawl. At first he started army crawling and dragging one leg - it was really funny to watch and he was pretty slow about getting around. Within a week though, he learned the real crawl.

He is in to EVERYTHING!!! We are definitely going to have to buy some gates. Just when I get to sit down to eat my oatmeal in the morning, he is across the room, trying to play with a cord of some sort. Oh, and he hates to be in his walker now because he can only go around in a circle. People warned us about crawling and I think I should have headed their concerns. This is going to be a long stage for me.

Date Night!!!

Travis and I just got back from our first date night since the baby was born.  We've gone out to eat a few times without him, but tonight was the first time that we've left him for longer than like an hour.  We ate dinner at Chef and His Wife (best burger in town, hands down!) and then went to watch "Up".  Mom and Dad watched him for us and he did so well!!  When we pulled up to pick him up, Mom was walking with him in the yard.  I thought, "Oh great!".  But they were just enjoying the full moon - he smiled the biggest smile when I got out of the car to get him.  

We were celebrating our 4-year anniversary!! Sometimes I can't believe that we've been blessed with 4 years (6 altogether) - we are still so very much in love, definitely still newlyweds.

I was just looking through the archives and found these pictures of someone I don't recognize.  Who is this?
