New Year’s Eve
Rob and I took a quick trip (48 hours on the ground) to St. Petersburg Florida for his cousin, Kristina’s New Year’s Eve wedding. It was our first time leaving both boys and it sounds like it was a big success with Grandma and Grandpa left in charge here. This is Rob’s immediate family all…

22 Months
Development: Nicholas is showing his comedic side. He loves to call Daddy, “Mama” and Mama, “Daddy”. Each nap and night time as I sing his resting song he runs out of his room to see how far he can get before I catch him, giggling the entire time. Before each rest Nicholas has mastered the…

Tis the Season for Family
We love our local family and love that everyone moves their schedules so we can be together. The white elephant gift exchange resulted in some game playing with cousins and Grandma.

Christmas
The excitement of Santa is starting in our house. The boys were pretty excited to get downstairs to see what Santa brought. This year they still slept until their normal 6am so we will enjoy that as long as it lasts 🙂 Technology is amazing! We were able to do a joint chat session to…

First School Christmas Concert
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2WLl_6JcOQ Today Cooper had his first school Christmas concert. We were “those” parents so excited to see our little guy on the big stage. At school he is a bit more timid, but he did it and we are so proud. Nicholas loved dancing at the concert too. At home he sings at the top…

Cooper at the 3.5 mark
Wow, Cooper continues to bring us such joy, happiness and silliness to our lives every single day. We love this little 3.5 year old guy! He even got a piece of cake with 3.5 candles to celebrate his half birthday. Cooper has always loved to talk and we are happy to report that hasn’t changed…

Daddy’s Birthday
Cooper worked with me on the very important job of making Daddy’s birthday cake. He insisted that the rum cake had to have a carrot coming out of it so we headed to the store to buy a carrot. I was trying to direct him to the smaller bagged carrots, but he insisted that the…
