Now offically called 'The Family Trip'

We are back from vacation or rather the family trip. We all had a great time. 12 days in Florida, out of the winter weather here in Kansas City. It is now called the family trip because traveling with 2 little ones is a lot of hard work, and not a vacation for the Mommy. It was a vacation from cleaning and cooking mostly. I had to keep everything picked up and organized and I did several loads of laundry but no real cleaning and cooking!! I needed the break desperately, I was getting some serious winter blues. My lack of sleep due to the baby does not help anything but warm sun shine made it easier. We went to the Daytona area to visit in-laws, then to Fort Myers Beach for sun, swimming and beach, then Orlando for Sea World and finally Tampa Bay for Thiele's work. Moving around that much with kids is too much and next trip I will cut out some stops. Part of all of the moving around was because T had to work most of the trip. I will post some pics and more details of our trip soon.

We had lots of firsts for both girls. Quinn got her first tooth, saw the ocean and gulf and touch and tasted sand for the first time, she learned to sit up and pulled herself to a sitting position, she also tasted peas and carrots for the first time and loves both. Quinn also learned how to move around, she has been turning over for a while now but on the trip she learned how to roll over to move around. Now when she is on her tummy she will work to get to a toy and turn 180 degrees.

Maya saw the gulf coast, danced at a Tiki Bar, rode a roller coaster at Sea World and went to Disney Downtown.

I feel renewed after this trip, I really needed to get away.... now if I could just get Quinn sleeping better and take a cup or bottle I might get a little bit of my life back :) Have I mentioned that Quinn has not taken a bottle since she was 2 weeks old, oh I am tired. More on that later....
