We're Back!

Hello everyone! We are finally back from our 3 week long vacation and I think I'm ready for a vacation from our vacation! Ha:) Here's a recap along with a few pictures from our trip.

Our plans changed slightly before we left due to Dylan getting very sick. We were supposed to visit my parents in NC the week before we left but Dylan got a really high fever (104 to be exact) so they came to us instead and off to the doctor we went. Our doctor said he just had a sore throat and to just give him Motrin for the fever along with some TLC. Our little peanut's fever lasted 5 days and then got a rash all over his body...poor baby! He was miserable! We thought we were going to have to postpone our trip, but thank God the day before we left our little guy was doing much better!

Here is Dylan snug as a bug on our long journey (9 1/2 hours) to Hollywood, FL

Check out how packed our car was! Poor Dylan and Victor were surrounded! Thank goodness for portable DVD players, Sesame Street CDs, and snacks galore!

Aaron made great timing and we arrived right on schedule! We stayed in a beautiful condo less than a block from the ocean. We stayed there for two weeks and different family members came and went throughout the two weeks. We had a GREAT time! Dylan absolutely LOVED the ocean and pool! He was fearless; he would jump in the pool and ask us NOT to catch him...CRAZY, HUH?!!! We could not believe it! We are definitely putting him in swim lessons ASAP! One of our friends had an underwater camera and took a pic of Dylan and Aaron underwater that is hilarious. I am waiting for them to send it and I'll post!

Here are various pictures...

Aaron turned 30 years old on July 8th. For months I have been very stressed out about what I was going to do for his 30th and how I was going to plan something from so far away. I was sure everything was going to work out when Aaron adminantly squated every idea. He really doesn't like all the attention that a birthday brings and was very clear that he wanted nothing done. I tried and pleaded, but failed and since I love my husband and love being married to him I decided to oblige to his request. Aaron's wonderful brother and Dylan's godfather, Kevin thought Aaron's request was ridiculous and planned a very nice dinner at Mai Kai (a Polynesian restaurant with a live fire show!) We had a great time although Aaron was not thrilled with Kevin after he had to go on stage and dance! He was such a great sport!
HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY HONEY! I LOVE YOU!!!

Here are a few pictures from the evening...

May all of your wishes come true honey!

After two incredibly fun weeks at the beach with our dear family and friends we went to our old house for another week. Kevin has been renting out our old house from us and he was gracious enough to have us there for a week. Kevin celebrated his birthday (July 15th) by throwing a Crawfish Bash. Nicole (Kevin's girlfriend) ordered 30 lbs of live crawfish and a great time was had by all!

Here are a couple of pics of Kevin's Crawfish Birthday Bash...

Don't do it Roy!!!

It was wonderful spending so much time with our friends and family, but we were definitely happy to be home!
