More Photos from Vacation

The Dalbey Trio had a wonderful visit to Florida and are now home. Here are few more photos from our time with the Kincaid family and with Great Grandma.

Here are a couple cute pics of the cousins.
While we were with Great Grandma in St. Petersburg, Preston was very creative. Here he is with a arm chair cover on his head.

Here is Preston playing with the 'babies'.

Here is Mommy and Daddy out to lunch at the 'Hurricane'.

Mommy and Great Grandma. While we were in Florida, we just called her Grandma.

The Dalbey Trio. You just gotta love Preston's face.

This is the view from Grandma's condo. It is beautiful.

The Beach

The Dalbey Trio and Kincaid Family went to the Beach this morning for a little while. Unfortunately, we had to leave after 45 minutes due to rain but we had a great time while it lasted. As you can see from the photos we played in the sand, water and with some sand toys.

Florida

The Dalbey Trio is currently in Florida visiting Aunt Kristen, Uncle John and Cousins Natalie and Jack. We are having a very nice time and the kids are really enjoying playing with one another. We will be here through Wednesday and then head to St. Petersburg on Thursday to visit Great Grandma Koslow. Here are a few photos from our visit here with everyone.

Here are the kids helping Aunt Kristen let out the air in the mattrice.

Dalbey Trio...well...

It is time to announce that the Dalbey Trio is officially becomming a Dalbey Quartet. Yes, we are expecting our second baby - due in March of 2011. To be honest, I was shocked when I took the home pregnancy and it was positive. As you can see from the photos I took a second test 2 days later to confirm. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited and cannot wait to meet our little one early next year.

Here are a couple photos from our visit to the Dr. yesterday. The baby is measuring on target and has a very strong heart beat. It was amazing to see this tiny, 11mm child, with a strong beating heart. We pray this child will continue to grow and be healthy and that I will be healthy. We will certainly keep you updated on this excited news in the weeks/months ahead.

Preston's Birthday

Preston turned two years old yesterday! Where does the time go? To celebrate, we invited family and a few friends over to our house for dinner, cake, play time and social time. The party was a success and the Birthday boy was super excited. We had a "Thomas the Tank Engine" theme for the party. Each room in the house was a different station or part of the Thomas Adventures on the Island of Soder. We even had Thomas greet Preston at the door (thank you Carolyn for the awesome sign).

Here is Preston playing with a few of his friends. The table is filled with home made Thomas and friends coloring pages. This was a big hit with the kids.

Here is the Birthday cake complete with Thomas hard at work on the track.

Here is Preston eating cake and ice cream with his friends, Eli and Micah.

These are our dear friends, Drew and Lindsey. They came over to the Dalbey house early to help clean - thank you so much!

Here is the Dalbey Trio with Grandad Denton.

Here is Preston upstairs playing trains with his friends. This is where he spent a lot of his time at the party!

Here is Preston opening a few of his gifts. As you can see, he had many 'helpers'. A big thank you goes out to everyone who gave Preston something special for his Birthday.

What does the Birthday boy do on his Birthday - he plays with Trains!

I also want to say Thank you to Grammie and Papa Dalbey for watching Preston yesterday afternoon so that we could prepare for the party. I am so sad we didn't get a picture with you at the party. We need to take a photo with you very soon. I also want to say thank you to the Duke family for bringing coolers with ice and to Carolyn for helping clean. I am so thankful for such loving family and friends.

Oh yes, Preston update: He is now 3 ft tall, loves to play with trains and/or trucks and is working on being potty trained. I will have to write about that later. I am excited for another year with our sweet boy.
