Try, try again...

Here I go again - another attempt to start blogging on a regular basis. I never intended to stop in the first place but life has been a little full...and I'm definitely still learning/trying to figure out this whole 2 kid thing.

We've had a really great start to the summer. At the end of April we took our first Family Stay-cation. We rented a house with a pool here in town and took a few days to get away and relax.


We even went to Disney and of course had a lot of fun!


Mimi & Grandpa came to visit in May and thanks to our very generous friends we got to go to Disney again!


Preschool wrapped up at the beginning of June which was exciting and sad all at the same time.


If you love a good flashback like I do check out our post from the first day of Preschool. Lots of changes that's for sure!


We started a Kindermusik class a couple of weeks ago and other than that we've just been busy playing.


We were all feeling a little cooped up last week thanks to Tropical Storm Debby,

but once the sun broke through we went out to survey the damage...

 

(a tree right behind our house was struck by lightning. Adelyn actually saw it happen and said it looked like fire!)


and jump in the puddles.


Now we're just searching for new ways to beat the heat!

Check back in a couple days...Buddy Boy will be 11 months old and is long over due for his very own post!

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9  

"I have ponytail!"

Yesterday Adelyn wanted me to fix her hair in a ponytail. I can assure you it's much harder than it sounds. Poor kid got my hair. But she doesn't know it and after seeing herself in the mirror she was so proud. The first thing she wanted to do was show daddy. So, we made him a video... At dinner I was lamenting about how grown up she looks and that it makes me kind of sad. Matt's sympathetic response? "Her hair really isn't long enough for a ponytail if you ask me. She looks like a boy from the front and when she turns to the side she looks like a pirate." Ahh, just what every girl wants to hear, "you look like a pirate."

The Terrific Two's

Adelyn officially hit the 2 1/2 mark a couple of months ago and oh my, this kid is a mess! She is just so full of life, personality, words, thoughts, opinions, energy, did I mention words? There are days when I'm pretty sure she's trying to reach her 5,000+ words used for the day quota before lunch time and it wears me out! She is also the sweetest, smartest, funniest, most charming 2 year old in the whole world. (In my humble opinion as her mother of course.) Don't get me wrong, she is by no means perfect. The past couple of weeks she's been in rare form but we think the two's are far more terrific than terrible. She is very much into the details and notices everything. She sees those decorative ball things that go on car antennas everywhere. One day she saw a red Mickey Mouse head and told me the reason it's red is because his overalls are red. It's been so neat to hear her start to use logic and reason or give explanations. Adelyn is quite the tease an...
