One Love

It has been a while since I posted and I have all intention of catching up Life just got busy and blogging went on the back burner.

Stephen and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in May and we decided to celebrate a little early with a trip to Jamaica! We went to a Sandals resort for our honeymoon and he found a new Sandals resort just down the beach from the one that we honeymooned to. Sandals Royal Plantation only has 74 rooms so it is a bit quieter than the other resort.

Room service!

This is what we did most of the time :)

We decided to have a truly low key vacation- we didn't even leave the resort! But we did take advantage of the water sports. We went snorkeling, for a glass bottom boat tour, sailing, kayaking and Stephen tried stand up paddle boarding.

The resort mascot- 20 peacocks live on property!

The resort had top notch dining and each night we would get dressed up for dinner and then enjoy live music or a swim in the pool.

Our butler decorated our room for our anniversary. He pulled out all the stops!

One of our butlers, Kenroy.

We walked over to the resort where we honeymooned :)

Dessert with every meal- Yes please!

We had a photo session on our last night at the resort.

This is the cheesiest of cheesy pictures, it just makes me smile ;)

Happy Birthday, Lily Kate!

Dear Lily Kate,
You are such a wonderful daughter. I am so thankful to have you in our family. You bring so much joy, laughter, imagination and love to our family. You have such a giving heart- you love to give away your belongings, and buy and make things for others.

You have your daddy's sense of humor and love to make others laugh and smile. You are just the right amount of silly.

You take great care of your baby dolls and toys. You love to play dress up- both the toys and you. You are definitely a princess at heart.

You are a daughter of the King. You love to learn about God's Word and love telling others about Him. You always have a song on your heart. You evangelize your sister on a regular basis and you love swimming lessons because they are preparing you to be baptitized.

You are a very talented artist and you love arts and crafts. You even make up your own projects.

You are such a fine little girl. I'm so thankful for the person that you are. I love spending time with you. You are beautiful both inside and out. We are so glad you are a part of our family.
Love,
Mom & Dad
