The best Mother's Day a girl could want

I am a lucky, lucky woman. This Mother's Day I was blessed with many special moments that I hope to carry with me always. The weekend started with a Mother's Day Tea with my baby girl. She sang me a special song, brought me cookies and turned the teapot lids into cymbols. I was overcome by her cuteness.



On Sunday, we traveled out to Beach Comer and placed Grandma's ashes on the same beach as Grandpa. It was a nice, windy day...perfect for kite flying. Being at that beach certainly brings back a lot of memories. Grandpa catching a sting ray...Grits in the Camper...Cory being afraid to drive at night...flying kites with Grandma. We'll have to be sure to create those memories for Jocey.

After the beach, we (Crosby's & Cheathams) had lunch in St. Augustine. We spent the rest of the day shopping and playing at the fort.

Happy Mother's Day to all those hard working Mommies!!!

Fun weekend at the Zoo

After working 12 days straight, a day of fun with the world's sweetest little girl was in order. We visited the Jacksonville zoo (which was nearly empty at 9am) and saw birds, monkeys, giraffes, penguins and more. Here are couple of snapshots of our day.

Jocey wanted to ride each animal including a seahorse, zebra, elephant and alligator. In the end, she went with the king of the jungle.

It is amazing how close these birds would let you get. Here she is waving at her new friend.


Our final adventure, was the train on the zoo with grandpa.

What a great weekend. The rest of the day was spent doing household choirs, including some spring cleaning. We moved Jocelyn's "tower" into her bedroom and filled it with all of her animals. Now she loves to run away from me and hide inside with her friends.
