A Week's "Vacation"

Our trip to IN was a huge success...Dane is a great traveller. He slept the entire way to Leesburg and the entire way back to O'Hare airport to pick up Daddy! He met lots of family and friends - it was quite a busy week! He played with cousins Andon & Presley every day, got in lots of quality time with Grandma Pam, Grandpa Dennis, Uncle Brian, Aunt Janel, Uncle Jeff & Aunt Christy! Dane also met extended family...many great aunts and second cousins. Zehring family - thanks for putting up with us for so many days, it was great to be back for a while!

And We're Off!

Dane and I are taking our first road trip back to Leesburg to visit the family! Cameron has his annual incentive trip and I opted out this year because I just can't stand the thought of leaving the little man for 4 days. So, we're dropping Cameron off at the airport this morning for a fun filled, sun filled trip to Cabo San Lucas Mexico and Dane and I are heading to tropical Leesburg, IN for our vacation! Have fun, Daddy! We will miss you!

Happy Easter!

Luke 24:46-47:
and (Jesus) said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem."

Dane's First "Play" Date & Easter

On Friday Dane had his first play date with Owen who is 10 days younger. Nicole - thank you for hosting...looking forward to many more play dates with Owen and your little guy once he gets here!

And of course Dane's first Easter...

Daddy & Dane

I wanted to say a huge "thank you" to everyone who has sent cards and gifts for Dane. I have tried to make sure I send personalized thank you cards to everyone, but if you didn't get one - please forgive me. Most recent days I can't remember if I brushed my teeth...anyway back to my reason for this post!

Tim & Teresa gave us some pictures of Cameron when he was around Dane's age and it is now obvious to me who Dane looks most like. I'm sure there are some small resemblences to me (although I don't see those either), but look at the comparison between him and his daddy. Aside from the shape of the head, I think Dane is a dead ringer for Cameron:

Rock night

Cameron went to a concert on Tuesday with Luke, Scott, and John. They happened to run into Chris and Keenan at the show - Chris & Keenan were 2 of the people we spent New Years with. Trapt, Red and Since October were the main acts at the concert. He thought Red was the best of the three.

Date Night

Cameron and I managed to have our first date night since Dane was born last evening. I even managed not to cry! As hard as it was to leave him for a couple hours, it was a nice night out with my hubby! We went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants - they have a killer spicy tuna tartar app that I haven't been able to eat since last May so I took full advantage. Thank you Cameron for a nice adult evening out! Thank you Tim & Teresa for taking care of our offspring!

Weekend Visitors

This weekend Teresa's family from southern IL came up to visit. We had a nice weekend and were able to get out of the house with the little man again. Thank you Gerards for making the long trip up here!
