Adventure is out there! To the rest of the world it may look ordinary, but to this momma, each step of our journey is nothing short of extraordinary!
I got all gussied up for Easter in my pretty blue dress. I was a very good girl during the service. I played with the program and flirted with people around me. I spent the afternoon and evening with my family at GrMa & GrPa Reusser's home. I had fun playing with my cousins.
Can I tell you how excited I am to be home with Daddy and Tucker... I love those guys! I am even back at daycare with Miss Kathy and all of my buddies.
I took the family out for lunch while we shopped downtown Savannah.
Nana and Grampy in one of the historical downtown squares.
After dinner, we did a SCAD gallery tour and met some of Uncle Jesse's art students.
When we came home, Ian, Sarah and Aunt Christy came over to play cards.

Don't let the face fool you, the little stinker liked the hummus appetizer. She kept opening her mouth for more!

Addie LOVES her cousin Meredith.
Aunt Christy and Addie have a "ball" playing in the backyard.
Bathing beauty in her bitty bikini.
Low tide created the perfect baby pool for us to play in. Addie enjoyed the sand and water.
We saw a huge horseshoe crab that moved with incredible speed, live starfish, sand dollars and tiny fish. Mandy found this huge conk shell in the tide pool.
Did you expect me to go to Tybee Island and NOT take a picture of a sea turtle??? This guy was outside the ice cream shoppe. Too cute!!! Check out more at these websites:
I opened up my email today and found pictures attached of our new backyard patio and fire pit! I tell ya folks, I have married a much cuter version of Bob Villa. Doug is such a handy-man and visionary. He really is an integral part of making our house a home!
While Addie and I are off enjoying spring break, Doug has been busting a move in our back yard. I think he is going for the "Husband of the Year" award, with this attempt at landscaping. It is still a work in progress, but WOW! I can't wait to get home and see the final product. Well done honey, I'm really impressed!

Anne and Lane were married in Washington DC. (For those of you who don't know, Anne is my cousin.) The ceremony may have been one of the most adorable wedding celebrations I have ever attended. Everything had such a personal touch from the readings, to the desserts and music selections. They were married by Hon. Allegra, the federal judge they were clerks with, when they met each other. 
Anne and Lane choreographed a dance routine for their first dance that ended with a guitar rendition that Jimmy Hendrix would have been impressed with. Needless to say, they ROCKED!!! Both newlyweds were red-faced during the best man and maid of honor speeches that included slide-shows with very embarrassing childhood pictures. We were all in stitches with tears in our eyes from laughing so hard.
The wedding and reception took place in a gorgeous historical building, The Washington Club. 
We had a great time with all of the Newton family. The highlight of the night was getting Grandma Newton out on the dance floor to shake it to Beyonce.
The send off at the end of the night included noise makers on the city streets (This is such an Anne thing.) The happy couple is off to Thailand for their honeymoon. Congratulations Anne & Lane!
Hey folks, we have made it to DC. I was a fantastic co-pilot on the trip out to Washington DC. I think I've got this traveling gig down pat. This is a busy, busy town with a lot going on and I haven't missed a beat. I've been sightseeing, shopping, out to eat and have even attended a wedding. I might be in a new town, but I have seen lots of familiar faces... the whole Newton Klan is here!
Mommy had a lot of fun at the Aero Space Technology Museum. There was a really cool exhibit, American Treasures, which featured items donated from past and present American cultural icons. Here she is attempting to look like she is wearing President Lincoln's top hat... silly Mommy! We saw the original Kermit the Frog puppet, Carrie Bradshaw's computer, Gen. George Washington's uniform, Dorthy's ruby red slippers, and much, much more! Mommy's big purchase was Jackie O. replica black sunglasses. She looks stunning in them!
This weekend was the kick-off for the annual cherry blossom festival in DC. The trees were gorgeous. 
Nana and Grampy pose for the camera. They have been so much fun to travel with. Grampy is a history buff and is in all of his glory here in Washington DC. Nana, well she is better at purchasing "souvenirs".
The WWII Memorial was very impressive. Mommy took pictures of the Indiana memorial post, because both of her grandpas served in the war. Grandpa Newton was in the army and served in Europe on the Atlantic front. Grandpa Tovey was in the navy and served on the Pacific front. This was mommy's favorite place to visit with Grampy.
Gotcha Buddy
If this were a video, you would hear a little one squealing with absolute delight as Tucker licks her hand! Tucker is such a gentle giant with Addie.
Come here a little closer, so I can LOVE on ya a little bit.

Gordie and Amber had a nice group of friends over on Saturday evening. The day cleared off and it was a beautiful evening to be outside on the deck. Our group get-togethers have change quite a bit in the past year. Each family has little ones now and there is a little more chaos and energy... from the kiddos, not the parents. I wouldn't trade one yawn before 8:00pm, for what we have going. It is so much fun watching all the kids interact with each other; what a way to start life, with friends and play dates built right in. They all have such distinct personalities and are so much fun to play with. We have got a fun and adventurous road ahead of us!
PS - Amber & Gordie get 2 thumbs up for dinner. WOW, was it good! Thanks again for having us over!
