We had a fun Halloween this year, despite the weather, which included 2-3 inches of rain for the evening of the 31st. At least the temp was warmish at 60F. This year, we didn’t make it to any pumpkin patches, because we had a super busy October with football, soccer (including a tournament in which …
SUN, SEP 23 Sunday, we went to Epcot. Mya got a free popsicle when we got there, because Nick said the magic word to help open the ice cream stand. We then headed to a “Finding Nemo” ride and “Turtle Talk with Crush”. They were both great! We got to hang out in the aquarium …
We finally went on our first BIG family vacation since Bryson was born. We went to Disney World in Orlando for 6 nights. It was fun, exhausting, non-stop, and hot! The kids loved it (for the most part). THU, SEP 20 After counting down the days and watching Disney movies every week, the day to …
There have been some new things happening in our house over the past few weeks. Mya and Bryson both got new ribbons at swim lessons. Mya’s ribbon was for “getting 3 rings off the bottom of the pool”. Bryson’s ribbon was for “swimming across the pool breathing to the side”. Landon pooped and peed on …
Bryson and Mya both had their first days of school. Bryson’s was on Wed, Aug 15th. He ended up not having any of his really good friends in his class this year, but he knew a few kids, and was happy to get back to school. He was also very confident in his decision to …
For Bryson’s birthday, we decided to get him tickets to a Bengals game. It just so happened that the next game was a Bears vs. Bengals game. It even lined up with Papa Feli being in town. It was perfect, no rain, warm weather, and not too crowded. Bryson was excited but did not like the …
We had another fun Clifty Falls this year. Our journey to Clifty was a little quieter this year, because Grandma and Grandpa Slattery were watching Mya and Bryson for the 3 days prior to Clifty. Having one kid was so different than having 3. How was this ever hard??? Anyways, back to our journey to …
Bryson is 7. He is a kid. Gone is the toddler / little kid stage. He is now a smart, grown boy, who is too big to carry around or pick-up. One thing that hasn’t changed, is Bryson still has a TON of energy. He is going non-stop. He also still asks a TON of questions. He …
4th of July is always so much fun…parades, fireworks, swimming, etc. What’s not to love? This year was no exception. We started the 4th of July fun with the Madeira parade on 7/3. The kids loved the parade (all the candy!), and we tried to make it to the fireworks at the middle school again. …
Nick and I headed to Asheville for our 10 year anniversary trip. This was our first trip away from the kids (other than for a funeral), and we were fortunate to have Grandma and Grandpa Slattery watch the kids. Our trip down to Asheville included a 1.5 hour delay, where we were at a dead …
