Zac's Graduation Weekend

We packed our bags and headed up to Georgia for the weekend for my cousin Zac's high school graduation. We drove up with my parents, so we rented a minivan to make the 7 hour drive more comfortable. Friday night was Zac's graduation and then Saturday we went to his graduation party. Sunday morning we headed back home. It was a quick trip, I wish we could have stayed longer! Evan did amazingly well. He was such a happy baby the whole time and always was smiling. He loved all the attention he got from his Great Grandparents and Great Aunt Barb.

On our way home we stopped in Jacksonville to see Rachel at Florida Coastal. We coordinated with her roommate to make sure she was going to be at her apartment around lunch time. We met up with her roommate to let us in the gate. Then we gave her Evan and she walked into their apartment holding him and said to Rachel "I checked our mailbox and look what I found!" Rachel did not see Evan's face at first and was really confused on why there was a baby in the apartment :) Then she saw my mom and I in the doorway :) Rachel did not know we were planning to stop by and was so surprised to see us. It was great! My roommate from college, Cristina also lives in Jacksonville so Cristina and her boyfriend, Butch joined us for lunch too. It was such a great weekend with family and good friends.

Mother's Day

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day as a Mom. We had a picnic lunch in our backyard and later met my parents for dinner at Bonefish Grill. During our picnic Dan got Evan to laugh! It was so sweet. Dan also got me a beautiful charm bracelet, a spa gift card, and a plaster molding kit so I can make a keepsake of Evan's little hand print. My boys made me feel very special and loved!

Let's Go Rays! Let's Go!

Evan looked so cute in his little baseball outfit. He loved all the bright lights and noises! We ended up staying until the top of the 8th. It was such a great game, the Rays won 6-3 over the Orioles.
