Spring trips

This year we delayed going to Florida until March, when it is supposed to be cold in Boston and warm in Florida. Wrong on both counts! But Florida is still Florida and the beach was worth visiting. One of these years Erin will stop eating sand.

Erin showed off her belly to Nana

Is there something in there?

The Mote Marine Aquarium was nearby and we saw the dolphins, stingrays, and manatees

When we left Florida it was 70 degrees and when we arrived in Boston it was... 70 degrees. We could finally play outside.

Caroline finally kissed her bottles goodbye, literally. That night the bottle fairy took them away!

We went to New York for an early Easter weekend. Erin's favorite activity was dropping people into the Fisher Price castle dungeon

Meanwhile Grandma showed Caroline how to dye eggs

We had a chilly Easter egg hunt in the big yard and without competition Caroline filled her basket

Then we went to Atlanta for real Easter. It was a good reason to dress up, but the girls spent the Easter service with Dad in the nursery

Erin's hair is coming in red

We cleaned up Heather's childhood room and discovered some real gems, like this scrapbook of her artwort

Erin, Mom, and Grandma Lu

Back at home, same old Erin. Sock off, Tabasco bottle in mouth, label dripping off her cheek

The sudden and very sad passing of Mom's cousin meant that Erin & Mom had to make a quick trip to Michigan
