Trip with Trevor

On Monday, Trevor and I got in the car and headed to Connecticut to visit my family.  Shane and I were really nervous about me making the drive on my own with Trevor, but it went great.  We got on the road at about 6am and headed up the Eastern Shore.  We arrived at my Grandmother’s in CT at about 2:30—not too bad.  The only traffic that we ran into was at the toll right before the GW Bridge in NYC.  (I hate that freaking bridge)

Our time in CT was a lot of fun.   We spent a lot of time with my Grammy, and did some visiting with my cousins and aunts and uncles.  We even took a trip to the Beardsley Park Zoo!  Here are some pictures from our trip: 

We left to come back home yesterday morning at 6am and arrived home at 1:30 in the afternoon.  The trip only took 7.5 hours, which was great! 

Easter

Easter seemed to come super fast this year!  I strongly argue that there were truly 40 days and nights between Ash Wednesday and this past weekend. 

Anyway, Holy Week was super busy for me at work.  From Wednesday on, I was at the church every day in the morning to set up for the service that night, and then back again in the evening to attend the service.  By the end of the Easter Vigil I was more than beat.  After I got home from that at about 11, I put together the breakfast casserole that we have on Easter, put together Trevor’s basket and fell into bed.  Because I had to be at church for all of Easter Sunday, we were unable to take pictures until after we all got home from church. 

We had a fun afternoon of playing as a family and spending time outside.  We were working on the backyard to get ready for our upcoming project going in back there.  In the evening, we cooked and enjoyed a wonderful Easter dinner of ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and rolls. 

Cozy Coupe

One of Trevor’s favorite birthday presents was his Cozy Coupe from Shane and I.  Liz did a great job putting it together (which was much more involved than any of us expected) and he has had a wonderful time riding around the neighborhood in his little car. 

Trevor’s First Birthday

Trevor had a wonderful first birthday! 

On Thursday, Liz and Daryl arrived from Iowa to spend the weekend with us.  After some visiting and having dinner, Liz and I went up to Hampton to look at bridesmaid dresses for her upcoming wedding in July (can’t wait!)  Friday, we took a trip down to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Trevor’s actual party was on Saturday afternoon.  We themed it after one of Trevor’s favorite books—The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Trevor had a great time playing with all of the other kids, opening his presents and eating cake of course! 

Trevor’s First Haircut

After Babygarten this morning, we took Trevor for his much-needed first haircut.  His hair was long enough that we could get by tucking it behind his ears, but he still was irritated when it would tickle him, so he would play with it and end up will all sorts of things in it……bananas, pancakes, cheerios, you name it. 

Of course, we started our morning out with Trevor’s favorite—pancakes (yes, they ended up in his hair by the end of the meal). 

And then we headed off to Babygarten. 

On our way from Babygarten to Norfolk, Trevor fell asleep, which gave us the perfect opportunity to get a before shot of what his hair looked like. 

And then there was the haircut….We got through the best we could, Trevor did get scared and ended up having to sit on my lap for it, but the lady did a great job. 

(He was not a fan of the haircut at all)
