It's Spring Break!

This is our first official "Spring Break", since Daniel started school this past year. Schools are closed for a week and so we took advantage to take our first vacation as a family of four. We are currently in Williamsburg, Virginia, for the third time since moving to the U.S. (almost 11 years ago!), and we just love it here. It's nice having a place to come back to and to build our own family traditions. Thanks to my mother, we get to stay at a lovely timeshare resort! Daniel has his own bedroom and so does Luke, since we converted one of the large bathrooms into his bedroom and it has worked out great! Parents who get to sleep well means a much happier family!  

 

This week is all about enjoying one another and we really have been doing so. Our normal lives back home is so hectic and it's just so nice having this time together. Because Luke is only 6 months old and still naps 3 times a day, we are keeping things simple and just hanging out around the resort or Jonny and I have been taking turns spending time with each kid. The last couple of days were really warm and Daniel even got to go swimming outside! This morning I took Daniel out shopping for shoes and ice cream and this afternoon, Jonny took him to Colonial Williamsburg, or as Daniel likes to call it, to "the older days." He came back so excited and said he had gone on "time travel!" He loves history and was really interested visiting the Governor's house, etc. Tomorrow I get to take him there again myself and Jonny gets to enjoy Lukinho! :)

Luke wearing shorts for the first time -- we remember Daniel wearing this same outfit!

The two brothers; they just LOVE each other it's so cute to see!

Check out those chubby thighs!

I loved going out for a walk with the boys on a warm day!

Daniel had fun pushing the stroller too!

  The cold water did not stop him from going in! He enjoyed swimming with Jonny in the indoor pool too.

Sweet, peaceful baby...

The three loves of my life -- I thank God for them every day!



Our boys are so blessed to have Jonny as their father...

Daniel loved "time traveling" today!
