Be prepared for lots of pictures :)
We had a blast on our 2 week vacation in Florida. We started with the Majoros (granny & papa), then spent a few nights at the beach (palm coast - hammock beach), then to my parents house (grandma & grandpa). Thank you to all who let us stay with you and to everyone else we got to visit.
A big thank you to all that gave gifts to my wild man. You went WAY overboard. I had to go by 6 new bins to store everything in!!!
We always love seeing family and John loves getting to play with all of his cousins. We can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving :)

Granny and Papa's
Here are some shots from our visit with the Majoros. We went to the Florida Museum of Natural History and to the Jacksonville Zoo. We LOVED both of them and plan to visit more often :)

Our trip to the Beach
During our Florida trip we took a few days and stayed at the beach. It was John's first time at the ocean. I can't believe that my child was 2 before he saw the ocean, sad...sad... haha
Foggy but still such a special picture for me. First time down on the beach...
Of course my eyes are closed but oh well John looks cute :)

Chatter
So I just started reading a blog that blew me away and I realized that I never write anything "personal" here and just had to come and chatter.....
The blog was written by a woman and it follows her journey in finding out that the child she is pregnant with has many "issues" and isn't likely to survive. I was/am so amazed at her faith.
It has reminded me of how grateful I am for John. I know I am already emotional just of the fact that he is going to be 2 but that's not it. I just never knew that something could consume me like motherhood has. My child is literally the first thing I think of and the last each day and I wouldn't change it. He some how manages to make me want to pull my hair out one second and then the next have me rolling on the floor with laughter. I just feel so blessed. My only wish for him is for him to be what HE wants to be. I hope that he is able to find happiness in himself and the life that he chooses.
I've been thinking about babies alot lately and can't help but get sad about the miscarriage. I haven't mentioned it on here because for the most part I try to keep it out of my mind and keep moving with life and I want to keep this happy and uplifting, but I do so long hope to give John a sibling and can't wait for the day to make a new post with the "news". I know it will happen when the time is right ;)
Well I hate to write about sad things so I will end with Happiness.
We leave in about 6 hours for Florida!! I can't wait to see our family and to watch John enjoy their company. I know he has missed them all sooo much. And I can't wait for his birthday and to watch him open his gifts and to hear his yell of excitement (that is new thing to do).
Oh and Note to self must by party Hats HAHA
We had dinner with our friends tonight and they gave him his presents and when we were leaving they said I hope you have a good birthday John. And for the rest of the night he said "happy day, party hats" HAHA I don't know why my child loves hats so much.
Well I need to get to bed. Thank you all for reading this chatter and I hope you all know how much I appreciate your support in my daily life and for the love and inspiration you share.

Almost 2
I can't believe my little baby will be TWO in 2 weeks!!
It seems like a week ago he was born and just yesterday that we had his first birthday! He really makes my life a better place and I am so happy to be his momma.
