Our precious tree....

Almost 2 yrs ago, when we moved from our old house, Josh and I were so torn with what to do with our memory tree. We didn't want to leave it, but were so worried it wouldn't survive the move. In the end, we decided to take the chance. And this year, it bloomed just as pretty as before the move....if not more. We couldn't help but feel as the baby's arrival draws near, this was an extra special blessing for us this year. The tree now represents the three little ones we lost, and we are so proud of how beautiful and proud it stands in our little yard. Here are just a few pics of our precious tree...

Great Wolf Lodge + Newport Aquarium

For Spring Break this year, with baby on the way, we decided it would be best to stay close to home. Josh's parents had a great idea for all of us to go together to Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati instead. We had never been there before and had SO MUCH FUN!! Especially Emmy, of course. :) She absolutely loves the water so she enjoyed every minute of the slides, wave pool, lazy river, etc. And the fact that she got to be with her cousin Colt, made it that much sweeter. Josh and I also really enjoyed getting to spend some extra time with Justin, Whitney and the boys, I can't believe they are almost 6 months old already! The next day we headed to Newport Aquarium together, shopped at Jungle Jim's and stopped by Tom + Chee for lunch. Such a great Spring Break, thank you so much Chuck & Sue!!!
