Paul, Savannah, and I are back from a 11 day trip to the Dominican Republic to visit my college roommate Tree and her family! We had a great time, and I uploaded a bunch of pictures to Flickr. I am trying to figure out the best way to blog all about our trip, so look for those posts soon. :-) So remember the picture of Savannah and Maddie that we submitted to a photo contest? Well, our efforts paid off…
I mentioned a while ago that I had found a Mom & Baby water aerobics class to attend for the month of March. Well, that class is now finished and I really enjoyed it! Savannah did too! I don’t know how much it helped me lose weight (I don’t have a scale to measure the pounds, but my jeans do feel looser… or maybe it’s my imagination), but I’m glad I took it.

Dear Savannah, Today you are 6 months old. I can’t believe it’s already been half a year since you were born. Time passes so fast! We added three more states to your map this month: Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina. You also saw your first (significant) snowfall. You weren’t sure about that cold white stuff! You have been watching your first Olympics – the winter games in Vancouver. You aren’t that impressed, but sometimes you’ll focus on the TV…
