Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Sorry I have not posted sooner but things have been very busy here!

We had a wonderful weekend together as a family, Hudson participated in his first Easter Egg hunt.....he crawled therefore all the big kids took the eggs and he was left with an egg that I considered to be a choking hazard. So Saturday night I ran out to Wal-Mart along with the rest of Orlando to get the last eggs so that I could hide eggs for Hudson on Sunday. I must say that I have officially reached my Wal-Mart limit, I don't go that often but every time I do I leave angry and upset by the rude people that I seem to encounter every time!! So no more Wal-Mart for me.

Sunday we went to church, it was just beautiful, and then came home and had Hudson's Easter Egg hunt. Mack made a wonderful lunch of ham steak and cauliflower. We missed being with our families but enjoyed creating our own Easter tradition.

The choking hazard.....this was a hunt for 0 - 2 year olds (excuse the plumber)

Spring Has Come

The weather is just wonderful here in Florida and we have been taking full advantage of it! This past week Lee came down for a work conference and we all went out to dinner and then Lee came by before he went to the airport and Hudson just loved playing with him!

Last Wednesday we drove down to Boca and spent the night, Mack had a Bloomberg terminal training all day Thursday so Hudson and I hit the beach! It was gorgeous! Hudson and I went to lunch and there was a little boy about 18 months sitting next to us, turns out his name was Hudson!!! It gets stranger, the family was from Toronto, so naturally I asked them if they had ever heard of Muskoka and not only had they heard of it but they have a house on Lake Rousseau(the next lake)!!!! CRAZY!!!

Saturday Mack and I went to the Arnold Palmer Invitational at BayHill with some friends, it was again a beautiful day for golf. I do have a bone to pick with with golf, it is the most non-fan friendly sport that I have ever been to. If you have fans that pay upwards of $100 for a ticket you should at least sign autographs for them! You also cannot take picture of any of the players, people have had their cameras broken or been forced to delete the pictures in front of security! I just find that to be such a shame, the fans are the people that buy your products and come to cheer you on, the least they could do would be to show them some appreciation!

This week we had a play-date at our house and then today we went to park and walked, went swinging, and played in the grass! Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

He loved the swing

Missing the River and Muskoka

On Saturday it was absolutely beautiful here in Orlando so we decided to take a drive down to Saint Cloud. We ended up at the Lake Toho park and walked out onto the point. It was so peaceful sitting and listening to the lap of the water, it makes me long for River weekends and Muskoka weeks. While we do have access to lots of lakes and the ocean it still isn't the same : ( We are hoping to get up to the River for the Fourth....

After our little drive we stopped at our neighborhood picnic for some free food and to pet the horses! Hudson loved the horses but I failed to get a picture of him with them, sorry!

Sunday it rained, no poured, all day long......Hudson and Daddy took long rain naps and mommy watched basketball and nascar of course!

We also have news to report.......Hudson is walking! He cannot stand up from a sitting position but once he is up he is taking about 15 to 20 steps at a time!!! Our lives have changed again!

So happy

Where is Hudson?
There he is!

Sunny Day

It was beautiful today here in Orlando, so I lathered Hudson up with sunscreen put him in shoes and a hat and we went for a walk! This was his first time walking outside with his walker....he was so happy! We even went walking again after his afternoon nap....I wore him out for Daddy!

Walking like a big boy

picking "flowers"
Hmm this might be yummy
What do you mean I can't eat it

Bye Bye

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! We hope you are having a great day :)

We have had a busy week since getting over croup! Monday we went to the park with 20 of our playgroup friends to celebrate all the February and March Birthdays......Hudson put on his Birthday best and had some fun.

Tuesday we went to our friend Jasper's house for a playdate and boy did Hudson have a ball! Jasper had a frog ball pit that Hudson took over....he also kissed his first girl in it! Watch out ladies....

This weekend looks like it is going to be a busy one so we will put up pictures as soon as we can!

These first pictures are of Hudson in an outfit that his grandma Helen made and that his daddy wore when he was little!
