This summer has been full of adventures and fun for our little family. Not only is our little guy Greyson growing and growing and getting more active, but so is Raegan! She is blossoming into the best big sister we could ask for and enjoying all that her new preschool has to offer. We've had some challenging times and a bit of regression for a few weeks, but overall she has grown to accept her new role as big sister and the fact that Greyson is here to stay. We all have had to learn how to adjust to sharing our attention and giving each other the special time they need. And now that he is getting more active, Raegan is enjoying helping him and showing him the ropes!In July we also welcomed another new addition to the family with baby Isabella June Miano! The kids are very excited to welcome another cousin and to have one close by. Although she's a bit tiny, we're sure she'll grow up to run with the kids in no time...that is if Greyson doesn't eat her for lunch! He seems so huge next to her!
A few other first these past few months were Greyson's first camping and boating trip to Lake Oroville. He did great and next year will be able to actually go on the boat! Raegan had a great time camping and enjoyed her time on the boat. And thanks to our cousins, we were able to enjoy camping in a trailer as opposed to a tent or cramming into my parents motor home. It was a great adventure overall!Raegan had a new adventure as well when Grandma and Papa Kelly came to visit. We took a day trip out to the aquatic center and she finally got on the paddle board with Hayden! Hayden was so excited since he has tried time and time again to get her to go on. Granted she didn't last too long, but she did it and that's all that matters. Next year she'll surely want one of her own and we'll be chasing her down the river!
The summer of course was full of more time in the pool and out in the sun. Both Raegan and Greyson love the water, so it's great to get them in the pool every weekend. The weather is slowly cooling down, so the pool time will be missed here soon!
And to wrap up the summer, Hayden took Miss Raegan out on a camping trip just the two of them! Well, with a group of friends, but without Mommy! Greyson has proven to be a bit of a challenge at night and since he's getting more and more mobile, camping just didn't seem like that much fun for me, so we opted to split the fam and Hayden and Raegan had a special weekend full of father-daughter time. Raegan is at the perfect age for this and they had a blast! They went in the lake, hiked up rocks, played in the dirt, and roasted marshmallows - all the staples when it comes to camping. They both came home dirty as all heck and smelling like dirt, but it was all worth it to see the smiles on their faces. And Greyson and I enjoyed our mommy-son time as well!
As usual, the months have been so fun watching these two little ones grow and entertain us. It doesn't get much better than these good times and all of the memories we're creating! Enjoy all the photos and videos!
