We had a wonderful Easter sunday, actually Easter weekend! Saturday Claire had an Easter Egg Hunt at Juju and Fredpa's Alotment. She had tons of fun and is really observant! After that we dyed eggs and made cut out cookies! Then we went to Emma's 3rd Birthday party!! Which was tons of fun, we got lucky that the weather was cooperating for that moment! We also were watching Ralphy Grammy Tracy and Grandpa J's dog while they were up at the lake! Then Sunday came and we got ready for church, claire almost lasted the whole mass but unfortunately had a little meltdown. Then we headed to Fredpa's and Juju's for the day, Claire had another little egg hunt, and found her basket! With some goodies!! It was a nice relaxing day, with ham and Pierogi's you can't go wrong! All in all it was a great weekend! Claire and I are loving Mitch's new job (so is Mitch) because we get to see him on the weekends!!! I can't believe my baby will be 26 months in less than 2 weeks!!! It makes me sad to think how fast time has flown by! We found out that I got into clinicals for the RN program in the fall! So we are excited for that adventure to begin and I think if we can get in Claire will start Preschool in the Fall! We are anxiously awaiting summer and it's weather to arrive! I am ready for walks with Claire, going to the park, and being able to play in the backyard, o and all the babies to get here! We have 2 cosuins for Claire coming at the end of May and middle of July and my good friend Rachel will be having her second baby around June 1st! (Emma's mom, the birthday girl from this weekend). Oh let the fun begin!

We got back Sunday, April 10th, from our great vacation to Florida. We took Fredpa with us on the trip down so he could visit with his sister Joey who lives in Tampa. From there we went to Disney World and it was amazing! We stayed at the Disney's Carribean Resort and Claire enjoyed her trip! We only went to two parks, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom! We did a lot at Magic Kingdom, it's a small world (of course!), and Donald Duck 3D movie, Peter pan ride, and the steamboat. We came back that evening for the night time parade and fireworks, which were a lot of fun. Claire didn't know what to think of the parade but she sat the 20 minutes for it! We really didn't get to do a lot at Animal Kingdom due to heat but we did the Safari! Which is a lot of fun and then we did a walk through of different animals. Claire was so exhausted from the day before we didn't want to overdue it! And boy did it wear us all out! The weather was beautiful and HOT! We stayed in Disney from Saturday to Wednesday then took a trip to Clearwater, FL to visit with Fredpa, Aunt Joey, and Uncle Jerry. We had a great visit with them and then we headed down to Naples, for the main event of our trip....Andrea's Wedding!!! Andrea is my friend from high school and Claire's Godmother. She got married on Friday April 8th, it was a beautiful ceremony on the beach. It couldn't have been more perfect, Andrea looks absolutely stunning and very happy!! We are excited for Andrea and Tim and can't wait for them to start having kids so Claire can have some play mates!!! The reception was a lot of fun, claire passed out at the table while eating, then after a 20 minute snooze was ready to party!! She danced and danced and it was sooo adorable. It was quit the grand finale to our trip! We didn't want to come home but we knew it had to end. Our trip back was a bit frustrating, we hit some traffic in Florida and Georgia so a trip that should have been 12 hours was 15!!! Plus we missed out visiting with Mitch's stepsisters and their kids because we got there late, which was a bummer, so we need to plan another trip to Knoxville soon!! Our trip home on Sunday was pretty easy going which was nice considering the day before! Our trip was amazing and we CAN'T wait to go back!! We may have to make it an annual thing! :o) I put a lot more pictures up on Facebook but I wanted to put some up here too!
