I think the year 2015 has gone by a bit too fast. So much so that I have completely neglected to update this blog or it could be that having two kids has taken up far more of my time than I imagined. I feel awful knowing that I captured a lot of Raegan's first years yet very little of Greyson's, but at least we have photos to document all of life's activities!
Since our last post a lot has happened! We finally settled down in Roseville, CA and purchased our first home! This was so very exciting and despite the long process, we really did land our dream home. And with the help of family and friends, it has become even better and the kids are loving every minute of their new home.
Greyson continues to keep us on our toes and is just a busy little man. Since we moved a little further than our previous neighborhood, we placed him in yet another new daycare where he had a rough start, but has since grown to love it. And the best part is that it is right across the street where Miss Raegan will attend Transitional Kindergarten in August. She's quite excited and we are as well! There was some big decisions to be made, but we finally landed on it being the best option for her and she will flourish. We all can't wait for her first day!
Greyson has also been plagued with chronic ear infections for as long as we can remember. They were so persistent that for a while there he had one every other month. We finally got the clear to put tubes in his ears and it's like he's a new person! He instantly felt better and was full of even more energy!
Raegan has been enjoying the past few months and the start of summer. Her swimming skills are improving every day and she's definitely a little fish. We also put her in gymnastics, at her request, and she loves it! She's definitely entertaining to watch as she appears to be super bored and uninterested, but then snaps into attention and does exactly as she's told. We're hoping to add another activity to the mix soon...once she tells us what she'd like to do. Soccer, unfortunately, is off the table for now. She's also finally riding a bike - still with training wheels - but we finally got her on a bike! This was a big feat as we purchased several different types for her to try in the past. She's a girl on her own schedule that is for sure. When she was ready, she was ready.
I would like to say that I will keep this up more regularly, but who really knows. For now, enjoy the past few months of photos and videos. These little ones are growing fast and keeping us busy. Enjoy!
We're so excited to start 2015! The year definitely started with a bang and has continued on a whirlwind path. Of course we started the year off right by celebrating the little man Greyson's birthday and enjoyed all the festivities. We also started Raegan off in soccer without great success, unfortunately. She was a bit overwhelmed by the whole experience and refused to go back again. This was tough for both of us, but we figure she's too young to force her into the sport if she's not interested. Fingers crossed she comes around!
Greyson has blossomed into a full on big boy. Gone are the baby days, this boy is on a mission to explore the world at a rapid pace. He is definitely keeping us on our toes. We took him to the zoo for the first time and he had a blast seeing all of the animals.
The kiddos are enjoying the new year so far and surprisingly get along so well. They absolutely love each other and it's the sweetest thing ever to watch. Raegan is so patient and loving and Greyson just adores her - daily hugs and kisses are the norm. There are times where Raegan has told us "having a little brother is so hard," but overall she loves being a big sister!
Lastly, so far we have continued to search for a new home and will soon be purchasing one! It's very exciting to explore new neighborhoods and hunt for the perfect place to call home.
Enjoy the first few months of photos and videos!
It's here, Greyson is 1!!! What a year that was and we're so happy to have this little guy in our lives. His birthday was a fantastic weekend full of family and fun. It was so wonderful having all of the family here to celebrate and to have his cousins here to play with him for the whole weekend - definitely a treat! And he certainly didn't let us down with his cake eating skills! He was not quite sure what to do with the cake at first, but once he had that little taste, it was all over!
Greyson definitely gave us a run for our money in his first year and challenged us in so many ways. He is a ball of energy and in non-stop motion - keeping us on our toes and very active. He loves his big sister more than anything and lights up when he sees her. I'd say his favorite thing is the mornings when she comes in the room! He still loves outdoors and is becoming more and more interested in sports - he can already dribble a soccer ball! But we will say we think he's more interested in baseball at this point, but that can all change!
I'd say this year was a blast and we can't wait for all the new adventures with our lil man! Enjoy the photos and videos of his birthday bash!
Since I cannot find the time to dive into our family adventures from the last post in September, I figured pictures could do more! The end of 2014 was a great one filled with lots of fun and excitement as our little ones grew. Enjoy the photos and videos!
