We've Got the Blues

Yes, we're in the process of switching out all of our pink baby stuff to blues! We are having a boy! Ryan and I are very excited about the prospect of a little boy. Faith kept telling everyone she was having a sister, so she was... underwhelmed with the news. If anyone has boy clothes they'd like to get rid of, you have a taker!

So Easter was quite the shin dig this year. We did it all (and even celebrated twice!) Faith knows why we celebrate and that is the most important part. We did an egg hunt the week before with our playgroup at Landa Park. It was great weather and even better company. Once again here is Faith with her friend Kenzie. For some reason, they take the best pictures together, probably because Kenzie brings out the clown in her.

We did our Easter egg hunt at her grandmommy and grandpoppy's. She used the lamb basket they bought way before she was born (or even a twinkle in our eye for that matter).

We also went to the Disney on Ice show. She now claims Peter Pan is her favorite movie, I think because she loved the part in the show where they flew through the air.

The weekend after Easter we flew to MN to visit my family. Both of my sisters now live there, so it makes it much easier to get all the kids together more often.

Yet another picture with no carseat.

Practicing with cousin Grace...

And immediately after this picture, there were tears.

This weekend we will be celebrating Faith's 3rd birthday. I'll probably get around to posting pictures mid-summer:)

A Faith First: Fearless Foreigner

As you can see by the lack of car seat, we are obviously not in the US. Faith made her first trip abroad this past weekend to Los Cabos. It was a first for all of us. We stayed at a beautiful resort in the "corridor" between Cabo San Jose and Cabo San Lucas that had stunning views and wonderful people. We also had the opportunity to take a sunset cruise on a pirate ship. Though the main purpose was whale watching and seeing Land's End (which had a large sea lion colony), we also got quite a show from the pirates.

We actually made it on the very last cruise of the whale watching season, and this must have been one of the last pairs of mother/baby humpbacks because as soon as our boat spotted them, 3 other cruises raced in our direction. The pirates know their movements pretty well, because they were able to predict when we would get to see the tail (which Faith quickly learned the word for in Spanish since they would yell it out. If you say that word in San Antonio out of context, it can get you in a lot of trouble, so I explained to Faith we only use it when telling the whale story).

Because this was the "Sunset Cruise" in Cabo San Lucas, there was a lot of booty shakin' music. Faith was the only one who felt compelled to make the most of it and proceeded to do so in the middle of the stage for a good 2 hours.

Dad, this one is for you.
