See New Blog

As most of you know, Jim and I are in the middle of a very nasty divorce. I have created a new blog for "my" new family...... Nicole, Flossie (our cat) and myself. Without going into details, I want you to know that I am truly happy now and Nicole is doing very well throughout this difficult time.

I have created a new blog for Nicole... http://www.nicolesjourneycontinues.blogspot.com/

For those of you who pray, please pray that this divorce ends quickly and more importantly, that Nicole stays safe and strong throughout this whole process.

Pictures

We spent Mother's Day out on a boat with a friend of ours. It was a really nice boat and a beautiful day to be out on the water. Rick's boat has air conditioning and more importantly... a bathroom!!! As you can see, Nicole is having a ball. At first, she was quite afraid of the boat (her fears are beginning to come out). After we anchored it at Shell Island, she went to town. She was all over that boat! She loved it.






She's got her tongue out again!!!!!!

What better way to make friends with a cat than by FOOD!

Nicole is determined to make Flossy like her. She was already done eating but Nicole insisted on giving her more food.

Adorable Pictures

Nicole loves to paint with watercolors!












































































So serious...


















Nicole still is still a helper when she's not in her "terrible two's moment". Here, she is putting the utensils away for Mommy.











Snug as a bug in a rug. She's so precious.













I forgot to post this picture with the other zoo pictures.

Water park

We spent the afternoon at the water park. As always, Nicole loves the water!















There's that tongue again!

A Trip to the Zoo

Nana, Grandpa, Daddy, Nicole and I spent the day at the zoo.





















We're at the Stingray pool.

We've notice that Nicole has been sticking her tongue out alot just like she did when she was a baby. It's soooo cute and brings back some memories of her when she was a little baby.




















































There's that tongue again!

Hilarious.... Nicole kept telling the fish to close it's mouth!

Nicole wanted to climb over the railing to get to the flamingos.

We're all taking a short camel ride!

Yuck... I don't think Nicole's too fond of the giraffe.

The stroller sure is fun!

She's not too sure about the birds either. I think Nicole takes after her Mommy. :-)

Do you think Nicole got worn out at the zoo?

At the Beach in Tampa

We finally went on vacation to get some much needed rest after the tax season. We spent the last week in Tampa.

Nicole and Nana are having so much fun at the beach!


















































Nicole isn't to sure about the horse-shoe crab that Nana is holding.














Same thing when Daddy was holding it. Yuck.












Nicole worked up the courage to finally hold the crab! She has more nerve than her Mommy!

More pictures to catch up on...

Nicole loved playing with the Coleman camping lamp! She has the lamp shade on her head!

Needless to say from this picture... She wanted to take it to bed with her when it was naptime.

Beautiful profile!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time for a break after taking her baby on a walk.

Yummy... Still eating her Easter candy!

Look at those cheeks... Can you guess what Nicole is eating? Yep... More Easter candy.
