The Suits Sisters

I'm writing from an undisclosed location (that we love!) in Central Florida and here is my current view:  Turns out I went a little slap happy when it came to buying 12 month clothes & I could dress every 1 year old girl East of the Mississippi.  We are all moved into the new house, sans a few items. (I've been itching to use new lingo in my blog posts even if I'm not sure if it fits correctly. Hence the word, sans.... and hence) I liken moving with two young children to digging yourself out of a deep sand pit while people stand up top dumping more sand on you. Here are a few things we already love about the new place... -More space. Who knew that 250-300-ish sq ft could be so life changing?  -More storage, less exposed stuff -Screened in back porch and big yard -A designated play area for toys  -We can all fit happily in the big kitchen  -A big ol' fat beautiful tree in the front yard  -A tall ceiling in the living room  -A wood burning  fire...

Movie time  Christmas morning & first stocking Adventuring with Pops  We finally got some time in the woods  Crazy hair don't care  Snuggles with Yaya by the fire  Duck face! Cheers!  Decorating with Gigi while wearing my old dance outfit  Ma giving Pa a hard time. Lots of laughs, lots of love. Also, shout out to our aging parents who slept on an air mattress so their kids could all have beds for the Christmas visit! 

Remember my unofficial goals for 2015? I'm still telling Kent how to drive (but I'm praying about it. Gotta start somewhere winkyface )  and blogging is my only hobby (Thank you, dear readers! Hi Mom!) But here are some notable personal accomplishments from 2015.. +Gave birth to a baby. And it wasn't just any birth. I had a fast, all natural DREAM BIRTH. And I'm not saying that a year later when memories and pain are distorted. And I'm not saying it in a Judgy-Mom way (remember my first experience?) Just minutes after she was born I said, "LET'S HAVE ANOTHER"--but that's before I had to raise her-- The experience still makes my chest constrict, makes me want to throw my fists in the air and sing the ROCKY  theme song. It's the closest I'll ever get to running a marathon or climbing Mt. Everest and I am so thankful. +Raised(-ing) two girls. Potty training. Sleep training. The works. +Joined the YMCA and lost ahem .. a few pounds +St...

I barreled into 2015 as we anticipated the arrival of our second girl After she made her debut at the end of January, we bought a one way ticket to Crazytown and things haven't slowed down since. Most of the year was spent adjusting to being a family of 4. I can now say it rocks and we're having a blast most days !  Caris became a Big Sister, potty trained and so much more... ..including no naps, for the most part. Here's my non-napper.  We trudged through some tough months in parenting when discipline/consistancy/whattheheckarewesupposedtodo thoughts were always on our mind  We watched sweet Liza grow and develop through out the year. Think of the milestones! And although she spent her first 2 months of life in a bouncy chair up on the kitchen counter, I'm relieved to report that she seems  is psychologically well adjusted and not emotionally neglected.  Big independent girl Finally, we watched Kent's Tigers play a great season!...
