Chesapeake Bay

Last weekend, we drove over to Chesapeake Bay to check out the scenery and do a little exploring. It was a little cool outside, so we didn't stay out long. It was beautiful, though... and lots of seafood restaurants on the water. We are looking forward to going back once it warms up a little. Here are a few pictures from Kent Island, the largest island in the Bay.

Gram's Visit

We were so excited that my mom was able to come for a visit so soon after we moved in. I had finished unpacking, so she was off the hook with that. Lucky me, she wanted to spend lots of time with Olivia and allow me to relax, so that's exactly what I did! :)

Jon and I were lucky enough to get away for a night while mom was here, too. We went to Washington DC for the night. Jon wasn't feeling great, so we didn't do much, but at least we got to sleep in! And, I don't think Olivia missed us at all! They stayed busy baking cakes, playing outside, coloring, and who knows what else :).

The day Gram left was a sad day for all of us. Olivia kept saying, "I'm crying because I didn't want Gram to leave, but she still left." Broke my heart!

We Miss You, Gram! Come back soon!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Snack Mix

For Valentine's Day, I let Olivia decide what kind of valentines to make. (We were planning to go to a Valentine Party, but ended up staying home.) She chose to make snack mix... I think because she wanted to eat all of the ingredients :).

Baltimore Fun!

We had such a great weekend! It was the first time in over a month that we were able to do something together as a family (due to Jon being in Maryland for 2 weeks before us, the packing, moving, etc.) So, we decided to venture into Baltimore and check out the National Aquarium.

Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures.

Ready to Go:
