Baby Shower #1

I call this baby shower #1 because we are lucky enough to be having 4 showers. This first one was thrown by Joe's parents for his family. We had a great dinner at PF Changs in Winter Park and then headed back to the DiTore house for an awsome cake made by cousin Renee and presents. Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate this special time. A big thanks for all the wonderful gifts as well. Bella will love them all and get plenty of good use out of them.

Happy parents-to-be at PF Changs

Cocoa Beach

Monday afternoon Joe & I and Rich & Lindsay drove to Cocoa Beach for some adult time. Rich and Lindsay left the boys home with grandma & grandpa. The weather was not so great Monday but we did get to enjoy a nice lunch on the beach before the rain came. We went to dinner Monday night and then watched the Steelers game in our hotel room.

Today we went to the Ron Jon Resort by the Cape and had an awsome day. The weather was much better today and the sun actually came out. They have an awsome pool area with a lazy river and a slide. Joe and I left late this afternoon but Rich and Lindsay are spending the night again. They are actually talking about having everyone come back over tomorrow so Clark can play by the pool. He would love it!

Fire House

Clark got to visit Uncle Joe at the fire station today. He LOVES fire trucks and fire fighters and he had so much fun. He was so excited and kept doing his happy dance the entire time. He even baked cookies eariler in the day for all the guys.

He went for a ride in the truck with his daddy

Uncle Joe and Clark

They even let him hold the hose and he loved the water

I just think that this is the cutest picture ever :)

They're Here!!!!

Thats right! The St. Louis DiTore's are in Florida. They arrived Thursday afternoon. It has almost been a year since we have seen Clark and this was the first time we met Dexter since he was born. They are both so cute and we love having them in town. We love hanging out with Rich and Lindsay too, of course :)
