We have had so much new happen in our lives in the past few months…. and I have been awful at keeping up to date.
Firstly, Alyssa is a pro walker/dancer/twirler these days! She goes wherever her little legs will carry her…. but her favorite thing is to run away from mom (or dad) when they say otherwise. She is such a joy to watch grow into her own little personality.
Emily is loving soccer (as before) but now she is in outdoor soccer. With the warm weather started outdoor soccer and she loves seeing all her friends and running and playing with them each weekend. After many scrapes and bruises she learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She loves to ride her bike around and hopes to soon venture off the sidewalk for a ride around the neighborhood. Along with all this growing up and finishing Kindergarten she lost her first tooth.
Brandon after seeing Emily on 2 wheels decided he was done with training wheels too…. it took him a few more days of falls and bruises but he finally got it down and is on 2 wheels too. He is so excited for the summer and starting T-ball soon.
In the middle of all this growing up, we moved our little family to a new house. Same neighborhood, same street, just a new house. Our very own house! It’s been so much fun to get settled and decorating…. not so much the weeding but the flowers have been beautiful to watch blossom. Sorry no great pics of the house yet.
Last but not least….. Little Leah has joined the family. She had a bit of a rough start but after 3 loooong days, she came home and we’re glad to have her! She was born Saturday May 23rd at 7:42am, weighing in at 6lbs 7oz, 18.25 inches in length. (Continue to the next post if you want the long version)
So there you have it a short recap of our past few months…. I’m sure I have forgotten many of the little important things, but it’s better than nothing!

It’s fun having you guys live closer. I feel like we’re actually neighbors now. You felt so far away before…but it wasn’t that far.
