There is much to write about this week, but for now my goal is just to get this posted. I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to rehash everything. :)
I think all you need to know in order for this week to make sense is that we made our annual pilgrimage down to Florida to visit Nana and Grandpa John (the kids great grandparents).

Shaun went to work and I dropped the kids off at my sisters' so I could take baby dedication photos at the two services. Amy was prepping Aiden for his week.
Incredible music! After sitting through it three times, it really gets into you.......particularly the drums.
From there I brought the girls out to RI to spend the night with their cousins. Lainie got to earn a special badge at Awanas for bringing a friend. The report was they all did great together, though I'm sure there was a great deal of giggling involved as well.
If I have stopped by the side of the road once, I've done it 100 times to take Aiden potty. He's not one to mess around with, because by the time he's finally announced it, there's usually less than 60 seconds to spring to action.

You know what stinks? Being a tax preparer and having your birthday be April 15. This was Shaun's birthday, but I saw him exactly 8.5 minutes between 8 am and 9 pm.
Avery was, as usual, SO into the packing process. She was going through my list, checking things off and making notes. Love that girl!
Aiden and I went to get the oil changed, and this is how he came downstairs. I always feel safe with a superhero tagging along.

I awoke at 5 AM, when Shaun stopped after getting us to Virginia. They say Virginia is for lovers....too bad we were passing through. :)
Florida!

The kids wasted no time getting to the pool. Unfortunately, there was a water "aerobics" class, so they waited patiently til it ended.
We spent the day at Busch Gardens...
Disney World!
