Officially the worlds worst blogger...

Okay, so after just seeing that I haven't written an update since February - I will officially appoint myself the worlds worst blogger! Life with two and trying to remodel the house/kitchen is keeping me busy!


Quick photo recap!


Spring was great and Lucy turned four! She had the VERY requested Cinderella birthday party! To be honest, I think she was over Cinderella by the time her birthday came (she's moved on to Aeriel), but at that point she had been talking about her Cinderella party for so long she wasnt going to change her mind. We had her party at Five Points in Washington with friends and family and it was lots of fun!

Penelope is becoming such a big girl. She's still a great eater and sleeper! She currently loves her "Chewy" (stuffed animal dog), Oso and "Bo On The Go" (netflix), her paci (she's going to be in for a sad day pretty soon here when they disappear), and anything water (water table, faucet, pool, ocean, bath, etc.)

Summer has been great. (except for the crazy hot days!) We've taken lots of bike rides, a few dinner at the parks, the zoo, and lots of runs to DQ! (LOTS!) Lucy and I have even gotten a little one on one time together and went strawberry picking and to the All American Girl Day in downtown Morton. As sad as it is sometimes that my little girl is growing up, I have to admit it is lots of fun now that she is a bit older that we can do some of these special things together.

We had a great time on vacation in Hilton Head!

And we are in the middle of remodeling the kitchen. My goal is to have it done by the end of the year. :)

I will try to keep you posted, no really I will! :)

Catching up...

Okay, so I officially fell off the blogging train. But here's a VERY quick recap.

This summer we started keeping our eyes open for bigger homes in the area. We loved our home, but without a basement we were really running out of space. At the beginning of the summer I went through a home I liked, but we weren't all that serious at that point, and it was the first house I had even been in with a realtor. The summer passed and we saw a few more homes and nothing compared to the first house I had seen. So, towards the end of the summer, I checked, and the house was still on the market and had come down considerably in price. We went through it a few more times and, decided to put a contingency offer on it - they accepted and we put our current house on the market. I'll spare you the details, but in the end, we bought the new house and sold our first home! We moved into the new house at the end of November and closed on the sale of our first home at the beginning of December. It was a insane, crazy and a total whirlwind (and add Thanksgiving and Christmas into the mix) but we are finally "semi" moved in and enjoying our new home. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to our house on 7th, it was our first home together - the home we brought our babies home to - but it was time. Lucy still talks about her "old room" and "old house" and asks why we can't go back. She doesn't quite understand why someone else lives there now. It makes me a little sad that she probably won't remember that house, but at least it's only 5 minutes away and we can drive by and wave every once and a while!

Here's a pic of the new house! (I just realized I don't have a picture, so I took it from google maps. It at least gives you an idea! :)




We had a great Christmas!




And we went to Disney World! (I'll try to do another blog about this)




and finally...Happy Belated Valentines Day from my little sweethearts!

Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year. Lucy had a GREAT time trick or treating. She dressed up as a cowgirl and Penelope as a pig. Lucy was so excited getting to ring the doorbells at all the different houses and gallop down the driveways with her horse "Shelly." "Piggy Penelope" (as Lucy called her) found a way to enjoy a few pieces of candy - by chewing through the wrappers!
