Unfortunately I didn't get around to posting pictures from Caleb's birthday in March. So here are some pictures from both Caleb's and Grace's first birthday parties.
John playing basketball while Caleb hangs on to the Thomas train table..
Who was more into the presents Caleb or John?
Grace with one of her many cute expressions.
After presents lets have some cake and Ice Cream.
Not sure if Caleb got any cake in his stomach. But he sure did manage to get it all over himself. So off with the clothes. Although he didn't seem to complain.
Then there was Grace's party. Looks like Grace liked the balloons.
Yet another expression.
Grace opening presents (with mom's help of course).
John really enjoyed Paige's digital camera.
Caleb just hangin out.
Grace gets her first ice cream with a candle. She can't have cake yet. Don't think she knew what to think about the candle.
Some of the other guests enjoying the ice cream sundaes.
Paige playing with one of Grace's new toys.
We arrived in Bermuda on Sunday morning.
One of the things we did was a glass bottom boat and sightseeing trip. It was one of the best things we did.
In addition to the coral reefs (which weren't as pretty as we thought they would be), we also saw a ship wreck.
When we got back to the dockyard, we walked around for a while. Then we had dinner at the Frog and Onion Pub. It was a great meal.
The second day in Bermuda we went to Hamilton (the capital) and stopped at Horseshoe Bay beach on the way. Very pretty but no beautiful pink sand as expected.
When we left Hamilton, we took the ferry back to the ship. It was much faster than the bus.
The third and last day in Bermuda we went to St. Georges. We went by ferry since it is the oposite end of the island. The island is only 28 miles long and no more than 1 mile at the widest part. The roads are narrow and winding. St. Georges was a more quaint town than Hamilton is.
Three times during the week we came back to our room and found one of these on our bed. We even went to a show on how to make them. Of course they make it seem very easy. Still not sure I could do it.
Also on the last day we took another walk around the dock yard. And someone offered to take our picture.
One of the many pubs on the ship. We like English Pubs.
This is a wishing circle. You are supposed to stand in it and make a wish. And hopefully it will come true.
Last day at Sea. We did a lot of this as well on the trip.
Finally approaching Boston. You can probably recognize Logan airport.
We gave him his own food dish and litter box.
Just thought I'd throw in this picture. I took it at the hotel that Andrea stayed at when we went to Medievil Manor for her birthday. Doesn't look quite as beautiful as my cousin's.
I planted some crocuses and daffodils in front of these bushes. I was expecting to see some of them starting to come up soon. There was no snow here yesterday.
A view out the back door into the woods. It sure is pretty - in December, but I'd rather see the trees and flowers blooming.
Even the bird feeder is covered, so no birds today. I'm sure Bean was disappointed.
And then there is the gas grill. Good thing we weren't planning on cooking out tonight.
While grampa held Grace. She seems to be doing better after her brief stay in the hospital. She has a cold and because of her situation, was having a hard time breathing.
Then Grampa got to help Paige with her puzzels. Although she did most of the work.
Then she just decided to be silly.
Grace getting some exercise with mommy.
Looks like both girls being silly
