Papa Don's Birthday

Don's dad was in town for a couple of weekends in April and we were able to celebrate his birthday during one of them. I wish I could say I made that beautiful chocolate cake, but it was complements of Publix.

Declan's Special Day

In March and April, everyone in Declan's class at school got to have a "special day". We made him a poster of pictures of his family and favority things, and then we went into class (along with Grandma and Grandpa Mathers) to have his favorite snack, do a craft and then sing and dance to his favorite song "Peanut Butter and Jelly". Grandma led the kids in that one and they had a ball. It was so fun to see all the kids in action and he brought home all sorts of cool things over the next few weeks as his friends did their special days.

Easter

It was unseasonably cold this spring and Easter was pretty chilly. But Declan had a blast at the Easter Egg Hunt and breakfast at church.

Gracie and Declan

It has been months since I've posted, I've just been too lazy to upload photos to the computer. That, and as many of you know, we discovered in April that we are expecting our 2nd child in late December! So I spent the majority of April and May feeling perpetually nauseous and not in the mood to blog.

We've had a great few months and I'll recap them tonight. First, one of Don's best friends from high school, Charles and his wife Liz came to visit us on their way to Florida. Their daughter Gracie is a year older than Declan and they hit it off instantly. I think she was Declan's first overnight visitor and he just thought she was the bomb!

Disney Cruise

We went on a 3 night Disney cruise last weekend and had a ball. It was one of the best trips we've ever taken and definitely the best trip since we've had Declan. We drove and Declan did awesome in the car, he stayed up late and went to dinner with us 2 of 3 nights, enjoyed all the shows and loved meeting the characters. It was a little chilly for the beach and pool but he still had a great time. The staff was just awesome with kids and Don and I got a couple of moments to relax as well. I highly recommend this and we would go again in a heartbeat, except for longer - Disney does it right!!!
