our easter sunday

yesterday was easter and due to carter's upcoming due date, we decided that we didn't want to venture too far from tgh in the event i needed the hospital. this meant that we could not go up to the farm in jacksonville to see kenny's sister cyndi (where and whom i just LOVE). while i was bummed about missing out on seeing kenny's family, i don't think i would've enjoyed the long drive up and back--i probably would've been pretty tired and grouchy.

since, we couldn't make that trip, we asked kenny's sister cheri what she was up to (since 30 minutes from our house was about as far as we were willing to go), but drew had come down with a fever after their return home from their wonderful vacation in jackson hole.

we were already seeing my family for dinner so we just needed "plans" until about 4pm.
so we thought...

and we thought...

and we decided to pack a cooler and go to the beach just the two of us!
we wound up at fort desoto (yes, i realize that this is more than 30 minutes from our house, but shhhhh) and we had a great time (even though my favorite beach chair is a little too low to the ground at 9 months after getting up and down to pee every 20 minutes). :)

since we went to the beach, i was able to get this comparison shot, which i was VERY HAPPY about--that is, until i got home and looked at the photo i was comparing it to and realized i looked like a whale on the beach all day. oh well, i felt like i was rockin' the two-piece while i was there and i guess that's all that matters. the poor people whose retinas i burned, well, hopefully the damage i did isn't irreparable.
