ALOHA!

We miss you cousin Mia, Uncle Jon and Aunt Jenny! This is the dress you bought Joli when you first went to Hawai'i ... she was just a wee nugget then, but now she wears it with Island Pride (even though it's still only 50 degrees here)! See you in May!

She's official... 21 months old!
Here are some great pictures now that the weather is finally warm. Of course, in the Northeast, we always take it day by day with this weather.

Who's more scared... Joli or Daddy?

Almost 21 months!

We close on our house in a few weeks, and we've been enjoying all the great sunshine we've been having!

Last weekend, Tita Grace, Tita Liggs, one of Tita Ligg's friends, and Mommy ran a 5K! It's the first kick off to our summer of fitness! Joli got to play on the playground after the big finish!

Not too much going on other than playing outside. We miss Mia Jewell, but we keep up to date on her website at www.miajewell.blogspot.com. Tita Mari's wedding is coming up soon, so we've been busy doing wedding planning. Oh, and in case people didn't know, Joli is getting ready for another cousin (courtesy of Tita Mari and Uncle JP).

Last week, Joli also got to see some of the American Idol contestants! She's been "watching" that show since she was in utero. Thanks to Tammy who told us about it!

Enjoy the pics! (I'm trying something different this time with the pics... give feedback!)

CAN IT REALLY BE SPRING?
Well, we're not hopeful just yet, but the past two days have been a wonderful 60 degrees in the Northeast. We bought this awesome swing set last year (when she was wayy to little to use it) but now she's almost too big for it! Enjoy!

Joli is wearing a jacket!

Around this time last year, I found an old orange jacket that my brother Jonathan wore when he was 2 years old. It's an awesome jacket, so we put it away in a closet because Joli was waaaaaay too little to wear it.

Well, lookie here... she's finally big enough! Big up, Jonathan! Your legend lives on!
