Gavin's 1st Bike


He may not understand exactly how to sit on the bike, but look at that balance!

Galena, IL



We went to Galena, IL for my birthday earlier this month. We stayed at the Eagle Ridge Resort, which I highly recommend the accomodations, but eat off site! Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves, (meaning only Ray & I!), and we enjoyed walking around the grounds, and taking in the view from our room.

Scott Co. Park







Here are some pictures from our little "adventure" to Scott Co. Park a couple of weeks ago. Gavin rode in the swing, had fun climbing all over the jungle gym, and enjoyed a hike on Mommy's back. He found more rocks to play with, as usual, and Mommy showed off her ever-growing belly! Daddy and Gavin had fun walking in the tall grass. It's a beautiful park with plenty of space to roam around, and plenty of playgrounds for kids to enjoy. Come visit!

Our Florida Trip







We went to Florida in February to visit Ray's dad, and also to go to Orlando and Sea World. We had a lot of fun taking Gavin on his first big trip, and he sure enjoyed the ocean!

Gavin's 1st Birthday!!!







Gavin turned 1 year old on 3/9/06. We had a party for him on 3/11/06. We were so happy and grateful to have so many family and friends make it in for his party--it was a lot of fun! (As you can see--Gavin had a blast, and he loved his cake!)
