Home Sweet Home!
What a wonderful anniversary trip John and I had to Punta Cana! I can't believe it's already been five years. Time flies!! He gave me the most beautiful anniversary band. It matches my wedding band, making my set complete. It's just beautiful!!
The beaches were beautiful and so was the resort. We stayed at the Catalonia Bavaro Beach Resort. I really enjoyed spending the time with just John. Kinda reminded me of dating again since we didn't have the kids there. It was fun to just hang out together. I think my favorite part of the trip was swimming and snorkeling with the sharks and stingray! It was so cool. We both got super sunburned, but we expected that. And yes, we did use sunscreen. It didn't matter! The food was great. We did get a little sick the last day. Too much buffet food, I think. Oh well...at least I didn't gain any weight because of that! (Gotta look on the bright side, eh?!) I read three novels while we were there. Crazy! I never get a chance to do that! The three novels were My Sister's Keeper, Blessings, and Water for Elephants. They were all good...but My Sister's Keeper was probably the best. Now I want to see the movie.
We had a crazy adventure trying to come home. Apparently there was a horrible storm in Atlanta just about when we were supposed to land to catch our connector to Detroit. Our plane didn't have enough gas to circle around Atlanta and wait out the storm, so we backtracked to Jacksonville. This caused us to get into Atlanta two hours later than planned, so we missed our connecting flight. We tried to get a standby seat for the 11:00 flight, but were out of luck. There were 52 families waiting on standby. SO we slept in the Atlanta airport last night (as best as we could) and took the 6am flight this morning. When we arrived in Detroit, we had no luggage. One was in Fort Lauderdale (don't ask me how it got there?) and the other was still in Atlanta. We're hoping they deliver our luggage sometime in the near future! We'll see!!??
Because of that I don't have any pictures to show yet, because my camera/computer cord is packed in my luggage. So, as soon as we get our luggage back, I'll upload pics. :)

Hands-on Museum
We went to the Hands-on Museum with Emily, Ian, and Nicholas. I forgot my camera, but did manage to take a couple pictures with my phone. Ethan really liked the magnets!

School's out!
I am so excited for summer with JD and Ethan!! We had a blast today after school. A friend of mine had a shaving creme fight with all the neighborhood kids, so we went over there. JD was a bit unsure when we arrived, but once most of the kids were hosed off, he decided that he might like to give it a try. Silly guy! Ethan did not want any part of the festivities. Instead he played with the basketball. They both had fun. I enjoyed watching them interact with older kids. It was cute. :)

Fork!
Ethan used his fork all by himself this morning to eat his whole breakfast! He was so proud of himself (and I was awfully proud, too)!
