His favorite was the shark encounter (which he calls the 'shopping counter'). Emily enjoyed everything, but hated having to get back in the stroller every time we came out of one of the attractions. She loves to walk and run. We got the Fun Pass so we can go back whenever we want. We hope to find the time to go a lot, though it seems our calendar always fills up before we know what happened.
Our Easter started with some egg-dying on Good Friday. Okay, so 16 months and 3-1/2 is still a little too young around our house. Bless their hearts, they really tried. Travis thought it was cool how the eggs plopped into the cups
and Emily just really enjoyed making a mess. Saturday we got to go to my Grandparent's house and spend some time with them. My Grandaddy will be 80-years-old this year, and I feel so blessed that my children are getting to know them. Memaw took a fall not too long ago, but seemed to be doing well. We had such a good time visiting. The kids were a little shy at first, but warmed up toward the end. I hope to be able to take them a lot this summer. On Sunday, we went to Jennifer's house to celebrate Easter and Liam's 1st birthday. It was very nice. There were lots of kids there to enjoy an easter egg hunt. Emily really had a great time looking for all the eggs, while Travis preferred to swing and explore Jennifer's nice back yard.We are looking forward to the big Garage Sale this weekend at Jennifer's house. MiMi Ann has organized this garage sale to help raise some money for Travis' intensive therapy session this summer. We've been collecting items for a month now, and she's starting moving it all over to Jennifer's house to sort and price. There is a TON of stuff and thank you to everyone who donated stuff. If you aren't busy on Saturday morning, we would love for you to stop by and say hello. We plan to get started around 8 am and close whenever people stop coming by. The address is 556 Thames Circle, Longwood, 32750.
In addition to the garage sale, Jennifer has a friend who is hosting a Silpada party (sterling silver jewelry) and donating half of the profits for Travis' therapy. The link to the catalog is: http://mysilpada.com/sites/ingrid/private/content/catalog.jsf
Travis is doing so well with his walking, that I cannot wait to see what the therapy is going to do for him. I think we are going to see some amazing results. I am hopeful that it will carry over into other areas, as well. The therapy will focus on core strength (better trunk control) which is related to so many things, including oral-motor stuff. This may give him the stability to feel comfortable enough to start eating. How I pray for that one!
This message tonight is short and sweet. As always, we appreciate your love and support of our family. There is no way we would be where we are without it. Thank you for your friendship, prayers and kindness.
