Fall 2017

What a Fall this has been! In October, we went with you and your preschool to Red Wagon farm for a fall celebration.



Then, we went to DisneyWorld with Gigi, Auntie, Uncle Dan and Seamus! I wish I had more pictures, but we stayed at Animal Kingdom which has an awesome pool with a slide. It was so much fun to see you taking it all in and seeing the castle for the first time. 






Random day that we stayed home together and made slime!

Halloween was cold, but we went Trick or Treating and you and Seamus went crazy running from house to house to get as much candy as you could. You would have dressed as Moana if it wasn't so cold.



Some things that I never want to forget about you right now:

- The way you are with Benny: 

You guys absolutely love each other and I hope that never changes. When he is crying, you sing a song from Tarzan to him "Stop your crying it will be alright, just take my hand, hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you - I will be here, don't you cry. You'll be in my heart, you'll be in my heart always, (whisper) always...

When he wakes up from a nap and I go into his room, you play a song on his monitor and then press the intercom and say "I love you Benny and Daddy. You're my favorite boys."

At night when mommy and I tuck you in, you say "I love you as big as my closet and wall and 100 cars and t-shirts connected."




Raking the leaves in the backyard and taking some slo-mo video!

Spring/Summer 2017

A lot has happened! Benny turned 1 and you turned 4! I can't believe it. Today we went for a run together in the morning with you in the stroller. Don't know how many more chances we'll get to do that together so it made me really happy.

Current favorite movie is Moana. Last night while we were watching it, you said that your spirit was a giraffe :)

Summer is going great. I don't get so spend anywhere near as much time with you guys as I wish I could, but I'm glad mom has her summers with you. Michigan trip to the sand dunes coming up this Sunday. Hope it is so much fun.

Winter 2016-17

Winter is officially over today! Yay! Hopefully we can start getting outside some more. Yesterday you and I went to the Middleburg Rec to do some swimming. You are getting so good - 5 people literally stopped and asked if you had lessons and how old you were because you can swim so well.  You swim forwards, backwards, doggy paddle, and can get to me from almost any distance.

Here are a couple pictures from Christmas:

Got outside on a warm day and got to see you show off your climbing skills!

You and Benny are best friends - It is amazing to watch you guys together. I hope you stay close forever and ever


A rare picture with mommy and both babies!


Took a day off from work for your second trip to Kalahari - I love taking you here so much.

Below freezing out, but this is what you decided to wear into Walgreens.
