Cruising!

Well little Larkin is becoming quite the traveler! We just returned from our cruise to the Eastern Caribbean with some of Shaun's family. It was highlighted by pretty much relaxing, eating, and hanging out with family and friends. Not to mention a massage or two for mom and dad!

Time with the family!

Larkin and Aunt Paula playing with jewelry!

Larkin and Aunt Lynn waiting for Uncle Gary to wow us at the karoke finals. He did a great job!

Here are Larkin and Cousin Jeff playing one of Larkin's all time favorite games "horsie"

Larkin and Cousin Reid posing for a picture.

Larkin and Cousin Lisa quickly became friends!

We also had a wonderful time with Cousin's Christine and Todd, and Uncle Gary and Uncle Jeff; unfortunately Mommy misplaced some of her pictures. Oh well!

While on vacation Larkin also spent plenty of time working on standing, cruising, and climbing. However, she is still perfecting those packing skills. She must take after her mommy.

Here was a typical lazy morning looking out at the view of the ocean. As you might notice Larkin did not rush to fix her hair first thing in the morning.

What we liked best was that on a boat in the middle of the ocean Daddy's cell phone didn't work at all (and just in case Larkin may have accidently broken it before we got on board for good measure). This meant no calls, emails, or messages for more than a week! Shaun had so much free time he even began coaching Larkin as to what teams she should one day route for.

Finally, after a week in the Caribbean it was time to head home. Unfortunately we had to get off the boat by 8:30am and our flight wasn't until 5pm. This made for a long day at the super exciting Fort Lauderdale airport. Larkin and Shaun managed to pass the time!

Fun in Florida!

We headed down to Florida over spring break to be a part of Abby and Aaron's big day. It was great to relax at the beach and catch up with old friends!
Here is our day at the beach which included napping, tanning, chatting and some sand volleyball. Shaun and I quickly realized we are not in the same shape we used to be in! Still we had a blast.








That night Larkin and Noah got to practice their escape from the highchairs while we enjoyed the rehearsal dinner. So far they have not perfected their escape!

Larkin was all smiles as she got to know her honorary Aunts and family.

Aaron and Abby's beach front wedding was absolutely beautiful! What a perfect day.

Here is Larkin letting us know what she thinks of little boys so far. Mommy and Daddy are quite happy!









Shaun found his best date ever! They even shared their first "official" Father-Daughter dance.

We even managed to hit the dance floor once the little ones crashed. What a fun reception!
