Vilano Beach

We went to the beach last Sunday evening so we could just relax and be at the beach when we woke up. It was kind of a girls' weekend with Heather, the girls, Dellynne, Karen, Casey, both of our Mom's, and me (plus Tanek). We spent the night at Vilano Beach so we could look for sharks teeth on Monday morning. Then we drove to St. Augustine Beach and spent the rest of the day there. It was perfect weather and nice to have a calm day with nothing to do except enjoy spending time with family!

First Swim of the Year

Tanek had such a fun week with his cousins this past week! Heather, Kirsten, Hannah, Emily, and their friend Dellynne came down to visit during their spring break....it was quite a journey to get here, too, as they travelled through tornadoes, but thankfully, they finally made it safely! As soon as they arrived, they all went in the pool for the first time this year. It was quite cold, but they had a great time. I, of course, did not venture in yet...it needs to warm up at least 10 degrees before I will get in!

Dellynne was the only adult brave enough to go in! Such a good sport!

Yearly Cardiology Visit

Tanek visits the cardiologist once a year to check his heart and monitor his VSD. We were really hoping it would be closed by now since the murmur was barely audible this year, but, when they did another echocardiogram to check, there was still a tiny hole. There is nothing that needs to be done for it other than making sure he has excellent dental care, so we will just continue to have his yearly checkups. He does amazingly well at his visits and loves to watch what they do. Here he is at the doctor's office and having his EKG done:
