Mystic Sea Aquarium April 2009

I finally got out to do something on my vacation this week. I wanted to go to Boston really bad, but Dave never took the day off and plus Matt gave Dave and I colds. We have been feeling yucky, however, I was determined to do something, so I took Matt to Mystic. Just the two of us with some Mom and son time. It was a lot of fun. We saw the Sea Lion show, the inside exhibit, had lunch together and then walked around outside to view the Beluga Whales, marsh pond, Dolphins that were sent from Chicago in holding while they rebuild their Dolphin exhibit and Matt's favorite Penquins. I even bought him a huge stuffed penquin. We got home and he asked me to put Happy Feet on and Madagascar I and II to whatch penquins. We only made it through Happy feet, thank god. I don't thing I could have made it through all three movies at once. Ha. Anyway enjoy the pics. Again my camera isn't working great, but I got a few good pics while we were there.

Easter 2009

Easter was a lot of fun. Dave's family came over so we had 6 adults and 3 kids. Madison and Caitlyn looked beautiful in their Easter dresses and Matt wore a shirt and hoodie from the Easter bunny. He loves Hollister now, since it comes from California were Uncle Tim lives. His new shirt says Huntington Beach. He had a lot of food. I made a Turkey with Mash potatoes, cooked carrots, Spinach casserole, stuffing, rolls, Diane brought Kielbasa and Ham. For dessert I made a special Easter Cup Cake, a few small cup cakes and Auntie Jen and Uncle Dan brought Apple Pie and Wine. We were all so full. Madison got a Baby Alive from the Easter Bunny, WE had an Egg hunt, and The kids got some nice gifts from all the adults. Always sad to see the day end. Here are a few pics. My camera isn't working right, so I couldn't get to many. Hope everyone else had as much fun. Love from the Fitzmorris's family.

Tiki

Tiki was our bird. She was a grey and white Cocatail. We had her for about 6-8 years, not even sure, but didn't seem that long since she passed away this past weekend. Birds are suppose to live 25 years and I always joked I would have to put her in my will. She really seemed fine one day and then the next not. Dave and I are a little sad she is gone. She was more my baby then anyones elses. She would come to me mostly and sit on my shoulder and peck at my earrings. She only whistled (males talk) and never was noisy at night. She really was very sweet, except to Matt, she would try to attack him and so when he was not sad she left us, I couldn't blame him. I don't know what sparked her anger towards him, but boy she really didn't like him, to the point it was kind of funny. Well just a cyber prayer out to Tiki, we will miss you and loved you. You were a part of our family. Peace out...
