On our second summer vacation we stopped first in Virginia to visit our friends Matt, Tara, and their son Noah. It was so great to see them and we had a nice time catching up, eating good food, playing games, eating gelato, and letting the kids play.

Here is a picture from Paige and Daddy on Father's Day! They are so cute together. I wanted to write a blog for Brad today to celebrate our annivesary. We have been married three years today. It's so hard to believe. It has gone so fast. Brad, I love you so much. Every day I love you more. I am so blessed to call you my husband. You take such wonderful care of Paige and I. You are an amazing father and I love to see you with Paige. No one makes her laugh like Daddy. She is "your little girl" for sure. Thank you for being a terrific husband to me also. I look foward to all the wonderful years still to come! I love you!
Paige loves helping me when I am doing laundry. She wants to load the clothes in the dryer. Let's hope she still wants to help for the next few years.
I made homemade pizza last week and Paige seemed to love it! Here are some pictures of her enjoying dinner.
Here is what she looked like when she was finished.

We left on Saturday morning and got back home on Tuesday! We had an awesome time and Paige LOVED the beach and the ocean. We only wish that we had stayed longer.

Day two was beach day! Paige loved going in the "wa-wa" and trying to catch the seagulls. Which she called "airpane"(airplane) by mistake at first. It was so cute.

Day three we visited the Florida Aquarium and took a boat cruise of Tampa Bay to look for dolphins. Paige loved the aquarium and kept saying fish and pointing at them. (see picture above)She liked riding on the boat too. We also went back to the beach at sunset to play and take pictures.
