Well, somehow I forgot to write about Izzy’s dance recital here. I did it in my head, but I’ve been doing a lot of things in my head and not in real life lately. Izzy had her dance recital the the Morrison YMCA about a month ago. She was much Read more…
I’ve gotten out of the swing of things. Lets try to recap: Joe turned 2 on 5/24. Alex and Marny took him, Izzy, CC, and Mathias to Chuckie Cheese’s. We then had lots of pizza and cake for dinner. Joe got so many presents. The amount of presents he gets Read more…
Today was Izzy’s birthday. She woke up excited to see her balloons. She told Noni that she always gets balloons for her birthday. She then came downstairs, very excited, and I gave her my present. It was a bracelet that I made her. She was so excited she jumped up Read more…
We have been pretty busy the last month – as we found a new house (we closed yesterday 4/6), and have been working on selling our current house. That said, doesn’t mean the kids have slowed down a bit. Bike – Izzy turns 4 in a few weeks, but we Read more…
Last week (It’s been busy, I meant to write this last week) I was peeling a banana, then I got sad because I couldn’t give the peel to Mac. It made me think about my dog Shadow, who died about 5-6 years ago. I told Izzy and Joe the story Read more…
The last few weeks have been marked by one thing, and that is change. This post isn’t so much about Izzy and Joe, but just our lives. We had an offer accepted and went under contract on a new house in Charlotte, after about a 9 month search, and we Read more…
Joe has started giving kisses. To the point where, he grabbed my face the other day and kissed me straight on the lips, nice and wet. Then he laughed at me. He will try to kiss everyone, especially Calista when she falls. Maybe all that kissing is wearing him out, Read more…
We took the crib down today. It was surreal. I can’t believe we are done with the crib (for now, maybe for good, I think we think for good right now). We were concerned Joe might not sleep in his bed, but he did really well, both the first night Read more…
Every morning, I look at the monitor to see if Izzy is awake yet. A few mornings ago, I did that, and she was not in her bed. I then used the walkie talkie to ask Izzy where she was. I then heard a “I’m on the potty daddy” in Read more…
We are making yet another offer on a house today. Here’s to hoping we get this one and it ends up being the right house for us. Izzy has started wearing pigtail buns, and when she does, she looks like she is 8 years old, not almost 4. I don’t Read more…
