Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are JUST getting back into the groove of our normal life after a busy holiday season!


We had a GREAT time as usual with the family during Christmas. Micah got to spend some time with his cousin Philip who he hasn't seen in well over a year!


This Christmas Micah really enjoyed the day. He not only understands that the day is all for Jesus but he really understood Santa Clause. Although I have to say I don't use Santa Clause as leverage for being a naughty or nice child...Santa Clause doesn't get that much credit. It was sooo much fun having both kids, it was extra special as it was Kapri's first Christmas.


We rung in the New Year toga style! Our great friends Ben and Sandra threw a great Toga themed party that EVERYONE who came dressed up for. Matt and I had fun putting our togas together and really enjoyed the party...it was my first night without Kapri, we both made it but I have to say all I was thinking about were the kids and how excited I was to start the year and watch them grow.


Here are a few pictures from our Holiday season!


...Side note... The TIG is just around the corner and we are already BUSY! We just sent out the first draft of the schedule that took us 3 weeks to do! So now we wait to hear our coaches respond to their schedule and we will revise, revise...and revise again.

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

When I turned around... Micah turned 8.

For just a split second if I close my eyes real tight, I still picture the tired me holding the only months old crying you in the middle of the night and can remember the "I know this isn't forever, but please make it stop" feeling. I truly did want you to stop crying BUT I also knew that me nurturing for you like that, wasn't going to last long.... so I swayed a little more and embraced your little body with all of me. Then I turned around and you were 8. In 8 years we have discovered more and more about the person you will be, and I am so very proud of what we are about to see. So once again I share with you what your 8 looks like! 1. You are madly in love with your little brother and he knows it! 2. Baseball and ATA (Blue/Brown Belt) are your activities, and you are doing great at both... we might need to work a little harder at the whole catching thing. 3. We all LOVE the way you laugh out loud at ANYTHING remotely funny in a quiet movie theater, it's ex...
