Over a year ago

Wow! This blogging thing sure slipped away from me in the last year. It's hard to believe that Maggie is almost two and Greyson is nearly 3 1/2! Last year brought on some big changes for our family...probably the biggest for all of us, is my new job...as a stay at home mom. While I could easily use that as an excuse for not blogging, I won't. My lack of blogging has a little to do with that and a lot to do with laziness or just lack of interest.

You see, I love reading about others lives, journeys, etc. in their blogs, but I never really thought my own life was all that interesting. But, after looking back at our blog, I began to think of the real reasons I started it...to document the growth of our children and our family....So, here I go again....I can't promise that my posts will be daily, and maybe not even weekly, but I am committed to blogging about our children and our family once again!

Oh, and we have a new title too!!! I thought it was fitting since our children say some great things!

Tears

I found this video on a blog that I regularly follow. It brought me to tears. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did! It is so true and serves as a definite reminder to enjoy the little things.

January

It has been a busy month for us! A trip to the circus, birthday parties, several sick days (colds, stomach flu, mastitis, and thrush), Maggie pulling up everywhere, and a Robert Earl Keen concert date night to name a few. I'm sure February will be even busier and hopefully not as sickly!

So Much Fun

Each day is so much fun with our two little ones in the house. Everyday one of them does something new, says something funny, learns something exciting, or teaches us something we didn't know. Sure, some days are stressful, but boy are those days worth it!

Christmas in January

Merry Christmas to everyone (in January almost February)! Ha! I am so behind in posting anything on this blog. Seems like every night I say I'm going to post something and I am either too wiped out or I'm just not in the mood. Anyways, we had a wonderful Christmas! We celebrated in San Antonio with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Gettin Around

It's official!!! Our baby girl is crawling! Wow, it all happened SO fast. She has been rocking back and forth and scooting around for quite some time, but about a week ago she really started crawling forward. She's really getting around now, and is so proud of herself!

November

Wow! November was a busy month for us. We visited grandparents in San Antonio twice, took Greyson to watch Walking with Dinosaurs, started Maggie on solid food, celebrated Thanksgiving twice (once in Austin and the other in San Antonio), moved Greyson into his "big boy" bed, and much more.

Walking with dinosaurs was awesome!!!! Greyson LOVED it! He talked the whole entire show about how cool the dinosaurs were. We couldn't get him to stop!!!!


Checking out Daddy's cool vintage Lionel trains. One of Grey's favorite things to do!!!
