2013...Our Year So Far

I can't believe that tomorrow is the last day of March!  I honestly don't know where some of the days go even when at the time, they feel like they last forever!  We have had a great beginning to 2013, and have even had a few visitiors too! 

In January, Jeff's mom, Michelle, came to stay with us for a couple weeks.  Cash loved having another person to play with and wear out!  While Grandma Michelle was here, we had a belated Christmas with her.  Cash loved helping unwrap the gifts, even if they weren't for him!  We had a lot of fun playing and showing Grandma Michelle all the new things he can do and how much he has grown.  I'm sure that Grandma was welcoming a few days in Fort Myers Beach with some of her other friends to recoup after all the fun here!

At the end of January, Cash came down with his first cold.  I know, he's almost 2 and hasn't had a cold yet???  Well, that is one of the advantages of me staying home with him.  We know that once he starts preschool or day care, he will be sick pretty much the first year!  Poor baby did a great job of dealing with it all...he was a hot little mess!  It was so sad for Jeff and I to watch him lay around and not play...he is seriously on the go from the moment he wakes up so we really knew he wasn't feeling good at all.   But after about a week and a half, he was really bad to his normal self. 

Still all smiles after waking up covered in snot!


At the end of February, we went to see the Tigers play the Tampa Bay Rays here in Port Charlotte.  We always look at the Spring Training schedule to see if the Tigers come to town so we can go to the game.  Charlotte Sports Park is about 20 minutes from us and is a great place to spend the day...there is a little playground and we purchased general admission tickets, so we brought a blanket and found a piece of nice grass to sit on for the afternoon!  We weren't too sure how long we would be able to stay...the game was right during Cash's normal nap time, but he made it to the 7th inning before having a mini meltdown!  We had a great time and I know that this is something that we will try to make a tradition every year for as long as we can!

Grandma Sue (my mom) came to stay with us the first week of March.  I know that I was really looking forward to having some time with my mom and I knew that she couldn't wait to see Cash!  We had a great visit and Cash loved having her here.  Grandma even got to come to swim class with us!  Cash did a great job that day...I think he was showing off for Grandma and knew that she was taking lots of pictures!

Cash got his first big boy haircut this month too.  It wasn't originally planned to be so short, but momma messed up a little and we busted out the clippers!  Needless to say, Cash is NOT a big fan of having his hair cut AT ALL!!!!  The end result isn't so bad and he looks more like a little boy now!

And after!  Such a big boy now!

So that's what has been going on in the Porcaro house the last few months.  Nothing too exciting but enough excitement for us!  April brings momma's birthday, and May brings Cash's 2nd birthday, daddy's birthday and a big trip for us to the Mitten!  We will be traveling up north for a trip for my mom's wedding and to visit with everyone for almost two weeks.  We hope that we will get to see a lot of family and friends while we are there.  We hope that this post finds you all well and know that we miss everyone and send our love!
