I made a promise to Mikey's Grandma Robin and Babcia Ania this morning that they would see new pictures of their grandson today. I've been absolutely horrible about keeping my blog up to date this year. I could give you a long list of excuses why, but what for. I just have not had the time and the few times when I've had the time it was the last thing I felt like doing... getting on the computer, yuck. Anyhow, I'm back.
We had a wonderful vacation to Southwest Florida to start the year off. The only thing that would have made it better (I feel like I say this all to often) is if my hubby could have been there with us. We did not let that or anything else stop us from having a good time and enjoying some much needed time with Mikey's Grandma Robin, Great-Grandma Connie and Great-Uncle Mike (G.U.M. as he nicknamed himself) too of course. We went to the area parks, out to eat at this great Mexican restaurant that I frequented quite often growing up, to the mall and of course the wonderful Gulf Beaches. We also unexpectedly had the pleasure of getting to see my Grandfather (Mikey's Great-Grandpa) not once but twice. We had such a nice time I feel as though I can't do it justice with words. Take a look at some of our pictures that we will always have to remember our Mommy and son vacation.

Great Grandpa it was so very nice to see you... it has been far too long.
Blow kisses Mikey (he was being a little shy at this point)
We had such a fantastic meal the Ingrid so kindly made for us. Ingrid... you must share your recipe with me. Thanks again for your hospitality.
Mikey had a little fall from the rocking motorcycle
All he needed was a little hug and off he went.
Motorcycles are cool, until you fall...
Big purple dinosaurs are way more fun!
I sure hope Mikey enjoyed the spinney-thing because Mommy sure didn't.
My little climber... he LOVES to climb anything he can.
This place is fun!!!

These pictures are the best! Everyone all smooshed and snugly.The Port Charlotte Mall Play Area
Time for a play break... say cheese!
There that's better... we were missing Grandma Robin in the last one.
Choo-choo trains are so much fun!!!
Choo-choo!!!The Venice Beach
(These pictures are so beautiful I don't need to say a thing)
Mikey was so cute and considerate. We found this great little sand castle. Mikey borrowed one of the shells from it and when he was done he went right over and put it back where he got it from.
Ohh! That's a little chilly Mommy.
Mommy agrees... a little chilly. The best way to express this is by making the :-O face.
What's that? You want me to pose for you... no problem!
Who knew kicking sand could be so much fun.

You might ask yourself... what is Mikey doing in this picture? Let me tell you then... he was obsessed with chasing seagulls. Mikey was bound and determined to catch one.
He had a great time trying...
Who knew seagull chasing was such a great time.
Despite his best efforts (over 30 minutes of running and chasing) Mikey was not able to catch a seagull. I guess that means we will have to go back so he can keep trying.
