visit to grandma's house

this past weekend we all flew to cincinnati to visit with tom's family. it was so great to see everyone. we missed lily's uncle john but enjoyed being with auntie jenn and seeing lincoln walking all over the place. it truly was a very relaxing trip for us. when we arrived home we were immediately all hit with a virus which stinks, but all in all it was a wonderful weekend. see below for some pictures of our visit.

the beach

On Saturday, Tom and I took Lily to the beach for the first time. We spent the evening in Lido Key (very close to Sarasota), eating dinner, shopping and walking on the beach at sunset. It was so much fun and relaxing to spend some time just the three of us. Lily wasn't exactly sure what to make of the sand and ocean. Enjoy the photos!

Lily definitely gets her eyes from her Daddy.

easter

this past easter, lily traveled with us back up north to visit our family. many of them she was meeting for the first time. i did my best to get pictures of her with everyone. we had such a nice time. it really made us miss home.
