Holidays

Dear baby Eva, You are TEN YEARS OLD! Two hands. Double digits. It is truly crazy how fast time passes as a parent. It seems like yesterday I was carrying you around on my back wherever we’d go. Writing down every detail in this little blog of mine. Now you’re so tall and grown and…

Dear Baby Elijah, You are TWO years old now! You are super talkative and love to dance! You love all things boy- firetrucks, balls, tractors, etc. It’s so silly to me how serious you are about these things! We celebrated your second birthday at Palmito Ranch with Papo. You had fun running around, watching the…

Dear Ariela, Today you’re 4 YEARS OLD! I looked at you this morning before I woke you up with your birthday song and realized how much you’ve grown. You’re so LONG! And you’re so pretty. I think you look like your mama, but maybe I’m biased. 😉 You are much, much braver than I, though!…

We spent another Easter Sunday at the Ranch, this time in our very own home. <3 We woke up and decorated some eggs, then waited all day until sunset time to hide and search for them.

You are such a thoughtful and helpful big sister. You feel what others are feeling, and are so emotionally aware of everything. You are my…

The highlight of this week was celebrating Ariela’s third birthday. We had a little pinata for her down by the beach. It was super fun. 🙂

Dear Damian, Today you turned six years old! You’re an adventurous little boy, and you’re always looking for things to climb or jump from. You love boogie boarding on the shore break where the waves slam into the sand. You notice every bug or critter and you’re always trying to touch or hold them, despite…

It may not look like it, but this week was hard yall. Lots of full moon craziness. Waves of emotions from everyone. Missing family at Easter. It was wild. But we made it through our 5th week of quaratine. It looks like we have at least another month to go, but I’m optimistic we’ve reached…

This week we celebrated Eva’s eighth birthday with a little party at our house. Eva wanted a kitty cat theme and my best friend Ashley helped me with all of the decorations and activities. We had a waterslide and bouncy house. It was chilly but the kids had a blast.
