Easter 2019

Easter 2019

We had a wonderful, beautiful Easter. Our Easter celebrations actually spanned two full, glorious weekends packed full of fun events. Spring has arrived in our area and we are loving the blooms, flowering trees, chirping birds, and perfect, 70 degree temperatures. I loved pulling out everyone’s spring clothes and stuffing (and hiding!) Easter baskets. We got to include Suelen and her friend in our Easter celebrations and then we closed out the wonderful weekend with family. The weekend before Easter,…

Caroline at 25 Months

Caroline at 25 Months

So Caroline turned 25 months old in mid-April. We have had a LOT going on this month–lots of changes for our little lady. I went back to work, Suelen arrived, we pulled Caroline out of daycare, and she started at a new little preschool two days a week. She has had a little bit of rough adjustment to all of these changes–we see her getting more defiant, saying NO! a lot, screaming randomly, and not sleeping as consistently. Our little…

Caroline’s First Day of Preschool and Welcome Suelen!

Caroline’s First Day of Preschool and Welcome Suelen!

March 21 was a big day in our house, starting with none other than Caroline’s very first day of preschool! She selected her very own outfit (a new dress she received for her birthday) and she selected her matching bow. We woke up extra early so we could enjoy a waffle and some blueberries before hopping in the car (with Vivienne) for the 10 minute drive to her new school. I was lucky to find a school that could take…

My Girls and Me

My Girls and Me

Right before I returned to work, I had a few days alone. The busyness around Caroline’s birthday party was over. My parents had gone back to Florida. Mike was at work all day. The house was quiet. Everything I had set out to do on my checklist for maternity leave, I’d (pretty much) completed. I had Caroline and Vivi all to myself. And I loved it. I cherished it. I didn’t have anything on my agenda other than enjoying them,…

Farewell, Toddler II. We will miss you!

Farewell, Toddler II. We will miss you!

Caroline’s last day of daycare was on Friday, March 15th. It was so sad to end our time at such a wonderful school, made even worse by the fact that I was sick in bed with a stomach bug and didn’t even get to say a proper goodbye to her amazing teachers on her last day. (I went the following week when Caroline was at her new preschool. I just had to thank these amazing ladies for all the love,…

Caroline’s ‘In TWO the Wild’ Birthday Party

Caroline’s ‘In TWO the Wild’ Birthday Party

So we celebrated Caroline turning two with an ‘In TWO the wild’ party that was quite a grand fete! I had a great time planning this once I settled on the theme, which I selected simply because it was so fun. Toddlers wearing giraffe headbands? Um, yes please! It was a last hurrah before I went back to work, right as Caroline ended her time at CCCC, and right before our au pair arrived. Big changes were on the horizon…

Happy 2nd Birthday, Caroline!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Caroline!

So Caroline turned TWO on March 14th and if you ask her how old she is, she will tell you, “too much!” Which pretty much sums up how we feel about our sweet girl. She is loving and sassy and mischievous all at the same time and I just love spending time with her. She is an adventurer—Caroline loves going fast on the boat, high on the swing, and generally with this girl, the more bumps the better. On the…

Our (surprise!) 2nd Week in Florida

Our (surprise!) 2nd Week in Florida

In late February, we found ourselves unexpectedly back on a plane, Florida-bound! It was just the girls and me this time.  Unfortunately, Mike had to head to Boston to tend to his sick dad. I was worried about taking care of both littles while he was away, so after a quick call to Matt and Tommie asking of it was OK to crash with them for a bit, I booked tickets and scrambled all day long on a Saturday to…

February 2019: Destination Florida

February 2019: Destination Florida

A year ago, when the WAIFWYP Old Girls were enjoying the spaaarty in Scottsdale, we decided we needed a big gathering…with partners and kids and all the mayhem that come with both. We settled on Florida and we selected St. Pete Beach (and specifically, The Alden) as our destination. And in no time, the time had come for this trip! MIke and I decided to go down a few days early since I was on maternity leave, so we could…

Caroline at 23 Months

Caroline at 23 Months

Well Caroline went ahead and turned 23 months old–on Valentine’s Day! What could be sweeter? It is hard to believe she is only a month away from TWO. Caroline is getting more independent, more sassy, more defiant, and more opinionated. She is also getting more adventurous, confident, funny (she even tells ‘jokes!’), and affectionate. She loves to be outside, climbing and playing and running from playground toy to playground toy. She does not even mind the freezing February weather! Here…
