First Steps!

-
It’s quite dreary here… one could tell summer is right around the corner.  The past couple days it has rained and rained… we are ready for the sunshine to return!!  In the meantime we try not to go stir crazy… Kaelyn and I get out in the morning for a stroll before the rain sets in and gets comfortable for the day.  This morning we had to hustle… we cruised close to home in case the skies decided to open up on us.  




Love our new stroller... we upgraded so when the sibling arrives this handy contraption allows you to just snap a second seat or carseat on... awesomeness!

In other news… did I mention Miss Sunshine has taken her first steps?!?  The other day she decided to back it up on the couch, stand up, and take a few steps to her daddy!  Braxton and I were so grateful he was here to witness this milestone!  We love that I am able to be here to capture all those “firsts”, but there is nothing like seeing it in person.  And baby girl did not disappoint!  She continues to use her football pose to stand, and then just takes off… giggling the whole way.  Every time!  She thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world!!  We knew she would walk when she was ready... and she did.  I can already tell she is a perfectionist... I wonder who she gets that from??  The pics are a bit blurry.. she was moving after all.  



You can see the big ol' grin on her face!


And a few pics from the weekend...

    I think Miss Kaelyn is sticking to your timeline. You were almost 14 months old, before you started walking. She's the cutest little walker ever!

As I sit here, drinking my pumpkin spice creamer (with a splash of coffee) and munching some pumpkin bread I’m trying to tie my jumble of pictures together into a post that makes some sort of sense… and pretty much getting nowhere.   It’s been a bit chaotic around here… not really sure why… but can’t seem to bring the focus in to get a blog post done.   So with the focus thrown out the window, here is what we have been up to lately... Tara paid us a visit not to long ago and we got to   meet her little beauty, Priya.   Love that girl as does my Kaelyn. Smart girl... knows the best team in college football!  (thanks for the photo bomb Josh!)   We may have a little volunteer fire fighter on our hands… as long as she doesn’t have to hold onto the hose too tight.  For Kaelyn’s first birthday we got her a bike trailer that we cruised around in all of three times in Jupiter and haven’t touched since… until now.   We live super close to a beautiful p

Appreciating: November!

AHHHH!  Prepping for a new baby and holidays make for one crazy combo in my world.  So here we are, February knocking on the door, and I am finally posting our November, December, and January.  Better late than never I suppose.  It's been a super busy three months, but we have celebrated Thanksgiving, a new niece, Christmas, and prepared for a new arrival by moving the girls into one room and getting his nursery ready to go. And now, November.. We have moved up in gymnastics... now both girls get to play while mama sits.  My kind of gymnastics class.   We traveled to Tampa for Thanksgiving this year.  No baking involved... Ruth Chris Steak House for the win. A Thanksgiving celebration at school Daddy Daughter Date Our annual tree selection ceremony.  This year I was pretty insistent on the tree we chose... which ended up being a dud and hardly making it through Christmas.  Oops.

Happy Birthday Chad

Today, January 25 th , we would be celebrating my brother’s 33 rd birthday.  When I think of him passing at the age of twenty, one of the first thoughts that always enters my head is being sad for him that he never reached legal drinking age.  I couldn’t wait for this day when I was twenty, but honestly, he probably could have cared less.  Chad didn’t get into trouble.  He was quiet, kind, responsible, thoughtful, tall, handsome… any mamma’s dream child. Chad lived a peaceful and content life at home with my Mom, Cassie, and Jack.   He loved his video games and actually liked his job at Federal Express.   Nothing breaks my heart more than not being home with him and my family his last couple years.   As the years pass, my memories fade, and that is gut wrenching.   I have tried and tried to remember the last time we were together or our last conversation, and both have vanished.   I do know the last time we talked over the phone we had discussed something about my cat, an
