A year in review

A look back at how our girl has grown...

Kadence is 1!!!


I can't believe it's been a year since Kadence was born and what a year it has been! Our little girl is 1 - how did it get here this fast? It seemed like I didn't get a chance to savor each moment and every milestone. I blinked and her baby stage is gone. She is now a toddler. T-O-D-D-L-E-R. I am so not ready for it! She's little miss personality - always on the go and always has her little pointer finger telling us what she wants. She has given us so much joy and has made our family complete. We love her so much - especially her older brother who will not let her out of his sights. I am looking forward to the year ahead and I am consciously telling my self to savor each moment and to not take anything for granted since each moment passes so quickly, it's gone before I even know it...

Monkey see, monkey do


It must be the obsession about Curious George and how he's mastered the monkey speak - Aden hung out at the Orangutan's and had a staring contest with one of the Orangutans. We were there for the longest time and they just stared at each other the entire time we were there. My little monkey.

Fun at the zoo


It was Two buck Tuesday at the zoo last week, and since it was such a gorgeous day, I braved the crowds and took the kids to the zoo. It wasn't so bad since we got there quite early. We had a fun day and the highlight for Aden was the train ride (big surprise).

Too excited about the train ride

I'll never get tired of this...

Aden figured out games he can play with his sister and this is one of their favorite things to do. I'm amazed (and thankful) each day how much they adore each other...
