Florida

The second week in February was our family trip to Florida- Palm Beach and then Orlando.  We had a great time!  Rob showed me where some of his clients live, we played on the beach went to the zoo (Cole LOVED it) and took a walk through Palm Beach's shopping district - so many high end stores - ohh Jimmy Choo, I wish I could afford you!

Then we went to Orlando and stayed with Nana and Papa at their timeshare.  We DID Disney for 2 days straight, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Epcot!  Cole was such a trooper, he loved all the scenery and the rides.  He was fast asleep during the Illuminations night show though, all those fireworks and he was out!  The last day we went to Downtown disney and then relaxed in the pool.  It was a wonderful time, the warm weather really perks you up.  Until you fly back in to upstate NY!

Rob's new ride

Rob needed a new ride too, so he went out and bought this beauty - a 2008 Toyota Tundra!  The backseat is just like sitting in a car, it is huge!  I do have a little trouble getting into it though, it is high up!  I think running boards will be next on the list.  Just imagine Rob, wearing his suit coat, driving this to work!  He loves it!

the new ride

Rob and I decided that Cole needed yet another ride on toy to add to his collection :), so we bought him a battery powered 4 wheeler.  He LOVES it.  We laugh hysterically when he rides it because he can't steer yet, so he just pushes the button and motors into whatever is in the way.  Then he pretends he is going to do a wheelie, he pulls on the handlebars like he thinks it may jump over the obstacle.  Where do boys learn this?  A lot of the snow had melted so Rob took him outside on it this weekend - Cole was in his glory, he rode it to Grammie's house and back!  Of course daddy put him in the tractor sweatshirt - thanks Aunt Abby!

It's a GIRL!

We had our ultrasound yesterday and our new little one cooperated very well!  The doctor said that it was very obviously a girl!  Yeah!!!  As you can see from our pic, Rob is just as excited as I am!  He was on the phone right away and the ladies in the office commented on his huge smile!  Either way would have been wonderful, but we really are so blessed!  Cole will be a big brother!  All the body structures were normal and she was moving around a lot too!  We have already bought a pink newborn outfit and hat!  This may not be good for my wallet - I LOVE little girl clothes and shoes - uh oh! :)  She will be called Allison (Allie for short) - middle name to be disclosed at a later date :)
