Trip to Naples

We took a family trip over to Naples this past weekend. We had a great time. Here are some highlights from the weekend (my golf game definitely wasn't one of them).

U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle

Last weekend, we visited our friend Jeff on the U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle. Jeff is stationed on the ship for the next 2 years. There are many interesting stories about the ship. One of them being that it was originally a German ship which was taken by the United States after World War II as a war prize. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Brody is a 1 1/2 year old!

Brody is a 1 1/2 year old! Can you believe that? Time flies by. At his recent checkup, Brody weighed in at 26 lbs and is 33 1/2 inches tall. He is growing up so fast.

Swimming Lessons

Brody is doing a great job with his survival swimming lessons. Here are a few videos of Brody in the pool today.

Brody in a Rock Band

Check out Brody on the drums over at Mark and Colleen's house. This is great stuff.

Brody is a Toddler

Brody moved into the toddler room at school this week. He has been doing extremely well with the change. Brody didn't have much love for taking naps in the infant room, so we had no clue what to expect with the idea of him napping on his mat on the floor. Much to our surprise, he has napped better than ever this week.

Here is a picture of Brody after Laura told him to go lay down on your mat. He is definitely good about doing what he is told.


Brody is really happy to welcome his cousin Jack to the world. Brody can't wait to play with him. What a great picture of Brody looking at Jack through the window at the hospital.


This picture reminds me of one of the great shows of my childhood You Can't Do That On Television. This is Brody in the locker room at the Aquatic Center in Plantation.


Hmmm....Wonder who did Brody's hair for these pictures? Tara!
