Fall in Florida (or the lack of...)

-
We're stuck in between seasons here... loving  Fall and participating in all the Fall Fun we can handle... but suffering due to Florida being stubborn and not giving us the Fall weather we are so craving.

We are striking back and pretending the crispness of Fall has arrived.  Park play dates, pumpkin patches, and Boo at the Zoo... boo-ya Florida.

Kaelyn may have found a new best bud but so has her sis.  Lana and Katelyn can't wait to see each other, grab a snack, and relax and watch their older siblings live it up.  In the not so far off future I'm certain it will be these two running around without a care in the world.


In the meantime, Kaelyn and Luke will be having all the fun.  These two chase each other all over the playground, run down the boardwalk like they are being chased, and follow it up with a nap in the grass.






Sweating it up at the Pumpkin Patch... aka... church parking lot.  I love Florida and wouldn't change living here for anything... but come on... would some apple cider and a breeze be to much to ask?








Last night we ate candy, played games, and danced our little hearts out (or at least Kaelyn did).  I know the cool weather is right around the corner... the animals told me so!


The dancing queen...

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 ...
