Pink Pigtails

There's not much to say about this, except I thought it was cute! After much waffling back & forth I've decided to grow out Sophie's hair. Little girls are so darn cute with pigtails and Sophie finally was able to get them! She's such a daddy's girl - so happy with David!

Caroline's Animal Farm

Sweet Caroline turned two and celebrated her birthday with a petting zoo. Sophie has had the good fortune of being exposed to animals in her short 2 1/2 years of life, but I can say my friend, Heidi, had the best petting zoo at her home for Caroline's fun birthday party. There were so many animals and we were allowed to spend a lot of time with them. The kids were going crazy feeding all the goats, pigs, geese, bunnies, chicks and cow! I loved watching my daughter show such free delight. As she gets older, I know she'll continue to love animals more and more.










































































Thank you, Caroline, for inviting us to a perfect birthday party! We had a wonderful time! Because of how much fun we had, I'm already planning a petting zoo for one Baby Boy's birthday parties!

Babymoon in Cabo

Being pregnant brings me the wonderful feeling of carrying my precious baby in my belly and feeling his constant flips & turns. Another great thing about being pregnant is taking a babymoon! For those of you who are not familiar with the term, according to Wikipedia, a "babymoon" is a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby.


Babymoon has now become a tradition for us so we can be a couple before life become more chaotic. In my mind equates to relaxation, lots of sunbathing, long leisure dinners and not to mention quiet time. David and I were lucky to be able to leave Sophie with Yiayia, Papou and Aunt Mary and sneak off to Cabo San Lucas for five blissful days. The vacation was perfect.



We stayed at the Sheraton Cabo Del Sol, which has pools that rival the best resort pools we've ever seen. I loved the hotel and the town. It was a slice of heaven for us! I can see why all the Hollywood stars vacation in Cabo! It tops my destination list of best resort towns in Mexico and we are definitely going back, with the kids next time of course!


The picture-perfect view from our balcony:
















After finding out we were staying next to one of the "Top 100 Golf Courses in the World" (ocean course) according to Golf Magazine, we were lucky to get David on for a round of golf. I relaxed at the pool and David got to experience one of the best courses at which he has ever played. The golf course itself was beautiful and the surrounding scenery was amazing.

Just to remember our trip:














Not only was the daytime balcony view perfect, but we watched beautiful sunsets every night.














We took a similar picture on our babymoon while I was pregnant with Sophie. Baby Boy Cramer has to get credit for this fabulous trip. I'm a little bit more ready for him to arrive now.

Birthday Parties Galore

The spring is birthday season in our books! It seems as if all of Sophie's friends, relatives and classmates celebrate their "big day". Even if Sophie is still young to totally "get it"... the fun activities, pizza, candy, cake and goodie bag, Sophie runs wild, has a blast and burns tons of energy! I love attending parties! What's not to love?

Sophie's taking pretty good aim at the pinata at Ryder's 3rd birthday party.














She loved gathering the candy after it all fell out! Here she is with her loot.



















Finally, cake AND ice cream? What an afternoon! Thanks Ryder, for having a special "nautical" birthday party and inviting us!
