Family Pic

Eden's playdate was at Trina's house this week. Since it was on a Saturday, John was able to join the group along with a lot of other daddies. The babies all played together, rolled around, and a couple are on their way to walking. Eden had the most fun trying to steal all the other babies' binkies! We had a great time and are looking forward to our next babies playdate!

Eden's First Trip to the Zoo

We had a really fun time today at the zoo, along with five other mommies and their babies! Eden really liked the stingrays, but LOVED the pink flamingos! She napped through Africa, so she missed the elephants, giraffes, and zebras. But that's okay... there's always next time!

A Day at Busch Gardens

We had a wonderful time at Busch Gardens with our neighbors last Saturday! This was Eden's second time going and she seemed to really enjoy it! We played around in the Splash Zone in Jungala and we can't wait to go back when the Sesame Street Safari opens the end of this month!

Jennifer's Birthday Weekend

For my birthday this year we spent a few days at the Tradewinds Resort on St. Pete Beach. We had a wonderful time with the baby and the dogs. We were finally able to test out our new collapsable wagon (that we looked everywhere for and finally found at BJ's). Eden LOVED it! We walked along the beach and she was able to look out onto the Gulf of Mexico. This was a very special moment for our family. We are looking forward to many more trips to the beach!

St. Patrick's Day Playdate

Here are a few of the babies from our group celebrating St. Patrick's Day!

Moms Like Me

In December '09 I joined MomsLikeMe.com in search of finding other mommies like me (obviously!). I soon came to realize that there were not, or at least I thought there were not, many mommies on the site that also had their first baby in the year 2009. I decided to make my own group on the site and invited other first-time mommies to join. Now, three months later, we are having playdates two-three times a week and I have found some amazing and fun friends to hang out with during the day. This picture (Eden - 6 mos. old) was taken at a MEGA playdate at the Citrus Park Shopping Mall in Tampa in February. This was our first big playdate meeting other mommies from the site... although we did have a few smaller playdates along the way. Eden had a blast and now has lots of little friends to babble and roll around with. I am also having tons of fun getting to know the other moms around Tampa. It's a great excuse to get out of the house!!!

And here we are on Blogger...

What a great idea to blog about your family!!! I received an email from my cousin sharing her blogspot about their family, and of course I HAD to start one of our own! :-) This will be great spot to document all of Eden's adventures, milestones and firsts. I'll try to add in a word or two about John and I too... so everyone knows what we're up to now and then. I'm excited to start and hope to share this blog with friends and family... and hopefully inspire a few more to join in and start their own. Thanks, Megan for emailing me your link and exposing me to the world of Blogger!!!
