FL Trip May/June - 1st Stop: Spring Hill

We took a trip to FL and made our rounds between Ant's spring and summer quarters. First stop: Spring Hill!

 Amelie started sitting up on her own! She's so proud of herself… can you tell?

We went blueberry picking…

Look how beautiful they are! 

 

It was all fun and games until I stuck my hand in a wasp nest.

I don't recommend doing that… my entire hand was swollen for 3 days :(

She was such a good helper!

That's Grammy off in the distance

Holy Blueberry, Batman!!!

Us with our bucket of blueberries… couldn't wait to eat em!

Uncle Nick came to visit!

We took a trip to Homassassa Springs and saw lots of animals…

That's Lucifer the 30 year old hippo in the background

 Grammy is showing Amie the birds… that's her favorite!

Amie took her first ride on daddy's shoulders :)

We enjoyed having the family over for a bbq.

Everyone got to see Amie for the first time since Christmas…

Amie and Aunt Alice

Amie with Aunt La and Aunt Mar

Amelie wore her 'heaven sent' shirt for the first time. Thank you Aunt Debbie!!

We had a great time… stay tuned for the next leg of our trip!

daddy's day

we celebrated anthony's first father's day by just relaxing at home and then going to the park! ant and amelie got superhero capes so they can fight crime together. amelie was more excited about the ribbon on the cape than the actual cape, but i KNOW daddy will show her how to make 'real' use of the cape as she gets older :)

I am SO thankful that I have such a loving, caring, thoughtful, helpful, faithful man for a husband. He is an amazing father and Amelie is so blessed that he's her daddy!
