unemployment


This right here is a happy boy.
A month of unemployment is just what he needed.
I thought for sure he would go crazy, but he was relaxed and fun and happy.
After months of malnutrition and lack of sleep he was looking and feeling less than par. 
The sunshine definitely did him some good.
(and apparently my husband is part Mexican- or so it seems)

I missed my baby SO much while we were in Hawaii.  But we still managed to enjoy ourselves.
It is hard to beat the beach, fresh tropical fruit, chick lit, snorkeling, swimming. Heaven.
Ashlee watched Eloise and said she was perfect. She forgot to mention that she was barfing for 3 days!
I might have started crying when I found this out- and Craig realized that my tough exterior is a facade and that little girl means the world to me- and that it was a challenge for me to not worry about her constantly. :/

At the last minute we decided to meet up with my mom and little brothers in Naples, FL for their spring break.  It was a good decision. Although it was tiring getting to AZ late from Hawaii and leaving early the next morning with Eloise in tow.
Craig had fun acting like a 16 year old (which is what he does every time we are with my brothers)
And Lulu and I had fun shopping with Bella and swimming (and eating sand)

We flew home with my family to Boston to celebrate Easter.
After days of rain and cold- Easter greeted us with warmth and sunshine.
70 degrees and perfection in NY today.
Looks like we timed it just right.

Didn't take too many pictures because I was too busy reading on the beach.
No complaints from me.











Back to the real world!

Craig looks like a new man - much better than he did that first night in Arizona. Glad you had fun.

So jealous of your trip, and you have seen Betsy's tanning skills, right? That's where he get's it from!

Mandy said...

I second what Court said. When I saw that picture of Craig, I thought, "That is what I remember Craig looking like not what he looked like upon arrival in AZ."
So glad we got to see you all.

I didn't realize that Craig could tan that well. It almost looks fake. John tans well too. I hate it. It makes me jealous. (i try to tell john that the sun will give him cancer again and he can't get tan ... it doesn't work.)
