The Newest TV Addict

For about two months now I've been babysitting our friends' daughter Samantha. She's four months and cute as can be (I'll post some pictures later.). Caroline just loves Samantha. For the first two weeks Caroline would cry when Samantha's mom or dad would take her home. Whenever I would need to feed Samantha a bottle however Caroline would get a little jealous. So I came up with the great idea of putting Barney on the TV whenever I needed to feed Samantha. Within a week or two Caroline became a full blown Barney addict. She started to bring us the remote control to turn Barney on and have a full blown tantrum if we refused. Oops! Maybe it wasn't such a great idea. Barney has been a huge lifesaver on long trips however. We just pop in a Barney dvd into our portable dvd player and off we go. I guess there are worse things in life than watching Barney. And Caroline watching Barney is pretty darn cute I must admit.

(David asks that you please ignore the first and last ten seconds of the clip. He couldn't get it to edit right. Thanks!)

Family Vacation

I haven't been able to find my camera which is part of the reason I haven't updated lately. The other reason is that I've just been super busy. I hope my camera turns up. Maybe it's down in the seat of Mark Sherman's car. Here are some photos from a family trip we took to Florida
over Memorial Day weekend. These were the last photos I had downloaded before the camera went missing.

Jonah and Caroline looking out the airplane window. Flying with a toddler is much more difficult than with a baby. Caroline was still much better in the plane than she is in the car though. Caroline and my gorgeous cousin Shannon at the beach. Caroline loved the beach this time. She didn't freak out like she did when she was a baby.Here we are at Universal Studios. We also visited Islands of Adventure. It was way hot but a lot of fun.Caroline passed out in the rental stroller.Jonah and my cousin Shannon in the ball pit at Islands of Adventure. I went in to take this picture of them and all the kids in the place started shooting at me. Those little foam balls hurt!A more lively picture of Caroline enjoying the little kids' water park. She's becoming quite the water baby. I wish my camera would turn up so I could get some pictures of her at the pool. I might just have to buy a disposable.My mom (Mimi) and Aunt Deb with nephews Gio and Dylan. It was great to spend some time with my family, although a weekend is just too short.Well I hope this entry will keep you satisfied for a little while until my camera shows up. I do have some photos on my phone that I could post. I might just do that.

By the way, we found out we're having another girl.
