10 months

-
Kaelyn has been such a lover these days.  I witnessed her walk up to her sister, give her a hug and a kiss and then tell her “love you.”  She wasn’t prompted nor did she know I was watching her.  She wasn’t even playing with Lana… it all happened just out of the blue.  I literally thought my heart might explode.  Just a few hours later she did the same thing to Ziggy.  She is so loving and affectionate I just want to squeeze her and never let go!





My little Lana lovebug turned 10 months yesterday.  Holy crap she is going to be one in two months.  How the heck did that happen?  I basically just chase her around the house while she leaves a path of destruction in her midst.  Her current obsessions include yanking open the entertainment center doors and pushing every button for every electronic device we own, opening the kitchen cupboard and attempting to pull a very heavy slow cooker on top of her (solved that problem with locks), playing in the dog’s water bowl (super sanitary!), and chasing anyone who leaves the room for a second down the hallway in a fit of giggles. 



KK was trying to help keep sissy still for just a second so mom could get a good picture… it didn't happen!








We spent Labor Day weekend with Nonnie and will get to see her in less than a week when we head to Tampa to dance and giggle with our friends, "The Wiggles"!!  I am so excited… definitely more so than my two littles… but I blame it on the fact that they don't really comprehend what is about to take place… not that I am an old lady whose favorite music group is four grown adults who dance around and sing children's songs!

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. ...

Good-Bye 2015

Happy New Year!  We actually stayed awake long enough this year to say good-bye to 2015.  We even made it out which I don't think has happened since we had our two beauties.  You better believe the minute that clock hit midnight we were hailing the first Uber driver available to get us home.  This was mainly due to Kaelyn being awoken by the barrage of fireworks and not being able to settle until she had her mama passed out in her bed. We said good-bye to Nonnie yesterday after a week and a half of time together.  We were able to celebrate Christmas and say hello to the New Year together and it was oh so special.  Aunt Kelly and Ethan also joined in on the fun for a few days. Nonnie brought all of these presents We watched our tree, Dingo (Kaelyn named him), be hauled off yesterday and have taken down the last twinkling light.  We didn't let the year and the warm weather leave us without a final trip to our favorite spot. ...

How Did We Get Here?!? Kaelyn’s First Day of Preschool (and some serious catching up!)

I had no intention of putting my eldest daughter in school this year.  I figured I would reap the last drops of my sweet girl before she began the never-ending journey that is her education.  I have a sappy heart and for selfish reasons didn't want to let my girl go.  Well after a discussion with Kaelyn on the prospect of school and the enthusiasm she didn't try to hide from weak old mom... I decided to let my little bird fly.   After asking around and checking it out online we decided on a local school that just so happened to have two available spots… one for Kaelyn and one for her bestie, Luke.   After touring the school… Kaelyn was sold and there was no looking back.   Which brings us to today.   Kaelyn marched down the hallway and made herself at home in her new classroom.     I was the mom that was in the car loop twenty minutes early after the longest three hours of my life.   She  got in the car and proceeded ...
