Easter

We had a pretty low key day. We got up and went to church which is always enjoyable, especially since Daphne has started nursery. After a very short nap Daphne got up and we hid Easter eggs and enjoyed Daphne searching for them. I had to help quite a bit cause Johnny hid some of them pretty well. We had a delicious dinner and talked to family. Pretty much a perfect Sunday.

Playgroup

Heidi (Mom) and Jennifer

When we got here to Atlanta one of the first things I wanted to do was find a group of girls that wanted to have a playgroup. I knew it was essential for me to do to keep my sanity. The first time we went to church a nice girl came up and asked if I was the new girl that wanted to start a playgroup. I don't know how she new, but I said yes and she made it happen. We have had a play date every week except a couple weeks in December(for obvious reasons). I have wanted to post about these girls for a long time but, this was the first time we have ever taken pictures.

Stephanie(mom) and Emory

We decided to have a little Easter Egg Hunt and it turned out so great. A lot of girls were missing this day which is sad, but we still had a great time.

Sorry Daphne is half nakey, she made a huge mess at lunch.

We always have such a great time and I really love all the girls. Lunch is always served and the kids are always tired and ready for naps when we head out. They all play really well together which is so nice, especially since we have such a large group. We usually have nine moms and ten kids so it gets crazy sometimes, but its always fun.

The brunettes are Erika(mom) and Rosalyn and the blondes are Rosie(mom) and Braelynn.

Old Fourth Ward

The other day Johnny had the day off so we went to a new park he heard about. I didn't think to much of it, thought it would be just a little park with a play ground and maybe a couple swings, but this place was so much more. I had a tone of different play ground sets, cool saucer swings, a cool walking park and a splash pad. I can't wait to go back in the summer and let Daphne run around.

Yesterday we went with our friends Erika and Roslyn to the aquarium. It was fun to see Daphne and Roslyn play together and squeal and laugh about the fish. I didn't get any pictures, but we are definitely planning on playing again.

Impromptu

A couple weeks ago Johnny had the week off and we were just planning on sitting around the house doing nothing special and that is exactly how the the week started. Tuesday morning we woke up. Johnny was studying and Daphne and I were watching Price is Right. Johnny through me for a loop and asked if I wanted to go to Disney World! Of course I said yes, as long as we could afford it. So he purchased the tickets with the help of a cousin that is a Disney travel agent and we were on the road by 2:30. 

We had such a great time. We all ended up getting sick on the trip, but it didn't slow us down. We headed to the Animal Kingdom first. It wasn't our favorite, but I thought it was fun especially the Safari Tour and Finding Nemo the Musical was awesome. Next was the Magic Kingdom, which is my favorite! It just makes me feel like a kid again. I loved showing Daphne everything and getting to see it through her eyes. She loved meeting all the princesses and to go on the rides. Hollywood Studios was fun. We enjoyed the rides and the shows. I even got to be an extra in the Indiana Jones show. Epcot was the last stop on the tour. We went around meeting all the characters we could find. We got to see all the princesses. 

It was such a fun little family vacation. Now that I have been with just Johnny and now as a mom I can say it is so much more fun to do it with your kid. A lot more work, but more fun! Daphne is now a Disney princess expert, she loves them. She reads a princess treasury book she got for Christmas all day and looks at the pictures from the trip all the time. 

Where in the world is Tracy San Diego?

Johnny keeps telling me I'm turning into "one of those bloggers". By this he means I need to write on my blog. After Christmas I had the best of intentions. I mean we had a visitor and we had done some fun things while he was here too. But then I wanted to wait until I got all the pics from him (still don't have them by the way, JOE) then I got pretty sick and did nothing cause I felt to awful and here we are now. 

Life is pretty much the same old thing. Johnny has started his Internal Med rotation. Daphne is growing up too fast while I enjoy watching her do it. 

I promise to tell you all about Christmas when I get some pictures. (You all know how I hate writing posts without pictures.) After that is done I will start to touch base with you more often.

Days with Daddy

Saturday we went to a new park that had lots of toys all over the place as well as a playground. Daphne had a lot of fun and it was nice to watch her run around and interact with other kids. She loved the swings and she loved riding around on a tricycle. 

Johnny got off of work early today(YAY) and it just so happened that today was a free day at the Children's Museum, so it was perfect! We headed downtown and enjoyed an afternoon watching Daphne do a whole bunch of new things, moon sand and painting being her favorites. 

Here is her masterpiece!

She also loved going down the slide all by herself!

The last thing on her list of firsts for the day was going number two on the big girl potty when we got home. I was so proud!

December, First thing.

Our Christmas Ward party was on the 1st of December. Johnny was a little upset with this fact it being pretty early in the month. I thought it was early too, but it was fun just the same. They had a live Nativity, then dinner, caroling and then the Big Man himself showed up. Daphne DID NOT want to sit on Santa's lap at all. He was gracious though and gave her a stocking with goodies anyway.
