Our Visit To Florida

We went to Florida to visit Amy and Javier. It was nice to get out of the cold weather and into the warm sunshine! We had a great time visiting and Anthony loved being spoiled by the both of them.

Anthony loved the beach. He couldn't quite get adjusted to walking on the sand. He would walk a few steps and then fall down because of it being uneven. It was so cute to watch him try to walk to the water.

Anthony loved the playground. He could have stayed there all day!

We had adult night one night and went to the casino. We all walked away as winners by playing Paigow! Thanks, Javier, for showing us how to play!

Amy and Javier were nice enough to watch Anthony for a night while we stayed at a resort. We went out to a nice restaurant and enjoyed some peace and quiet on the beach and by the pool. This picture was taken when she dropped us off and we were saying goodbye to Anthony. He was ready to be spoiled by Aunt Amy!



Ahhhhhh!!! Peace and quiet!

Our Visit to Ashtabula

We went up to visit everyone in Ashtabula and even got to enjoy some decent weather to look for some beach glass at the cottage.


Anthony got to visit and play with his girlfriend, Victoria. Our friends, RJ and Jill, have a little girl that just turned a year on April 1st. She is getting so big and is getting to be at a good age to play with Anthony.

We had decent weather so we decided to go walk the beach. Anthony was begging to get down so he could run around. He loved it! Marc and I are addicted to searching for beach glass. We ended up finding some great pieces. It is so therapeutic!

Anthony climbed up to Papa Varckette's desk. He thought he was in charge for the day!

We went to the Crow's Nest for dinner with Maria and Paul. Anthony loved the bowling machine. Maria had a great time playing with him and showing him how to play.

Anthony Having Fun

Anthony loves his cousin, Christopher. Christopher was over playing and decided to take a bath with Anthony at bath time. They had so much fun splashing the water and getting me wet!

We have finally had some warm weather so we've been able to go to the park down the street. As you can tell, Anthony was loving it!

Anthony Loved Playing With His Cousins

Anthony got to visit with his cousin's, Jay and Greg. He loves them! They spoil him like crazy!

Amy and Javier Came to Visit

Amy and Javier came to visit us so we took them up to Holiday Valley to go skiing. We had perfect ski weather and conditions.

After a hard day skiing, we enjoyed some delicious wings and beer at the local bar. A perfect way to end a hard day of skiing.

This picture was taken on the way to pick Amy and Javier up. I looked back and found Anthony playing peek-a-boo with my scarf.

The Winery

While Amy and Javier were visiting up at the lake house, we took them to a few wineries, Laurello's and Harpersfield. We had a lot of fun and even got a tour of one of them.

Maria and I snuck in a picture, while taking a the tour at Laurello's. We love our wine! :)

Paul was the pourer and tried to give everybody an extra helping!

After the first winery, we went to Harpersfield. Great music and tasty wine!

Anthony Loves To Dance!

Anthony's Expressions

Anthony is really starting to show facial expressions when he talks. It's funny to watch and listen to him babble because he has all of these looks when he talks. So cute!

Girl's Weekend in Florida

I just got back from girl's weekend in Florida with my sister's, niece and one of my friends. It was great seeing everybody and relaxing. Thanks, Amy and Javier, for opening up your home and letting us stay there!

Valentine's Day

We celebrated Valentine's Day at home with a nice seafood pasta and a good bottle of wine. It was definitely much better than going out and fighting the crowds. I think Anthony enjoyed the evening too. He had a big helping of pasta and he got to play with us. By the looks of his shirt and his full belly, I think he enjoyed the dinner!

Our Friends Came To Visit

Our friends, Kelly, Kitty and Christian came over with their kids for dinner. We got to meet little Jack for the first time. He is so cute! It was so good to see you guys! Kitty, I'm glad you got to come!


Marc got to hold the little peanut!

Jack was content with all of the noise. He'll be ready for a sibling before too long! :)

Christian had his hands full with Anthony and Cruz! I think Anthony was trying to get up on his shoulders too! :0

Mr. Adventurous

Anthony figured out how to take the vent off the floor and get inside of it. His high chair sits right next to it and he continuously throws food inside it. He has seen me take it off to vacuum it out. I guess he figured out that he could take it off and sit inside of it. What will he do next?!
