It has been a very long time and while the days were whizzing by, my kids grew up. A LOT. They are completely and utterly different people now and while I'm ecstatic about their health and growth, I'm sad about how quickly time has flown. While I was busy working, taking one to cheer, making baby food, trying to keep sane, and jumping back into school mode, Buggy and Cubby just grew up. ::SIGH::
They're obnoxiously cute. It's insane how much I want to squeeze them until they pop.
Let's get to the updates:
ONE
Logan had his 1st birthday. It was quick planning session on my part. I'd been so wrapped up in the stress of work that the theme was changed about a million times and everything was put together last minute. He's a year old and his life flashed before my eyes. (I don't apologize for the drama.)
RA-RA
Big sister has officially skyrocketed into teenager mode at just 6 years old. She joined cheer. (Dun, dun, DUN!) Practices 1-2 times a week and then Saturday games (home and away). I was not ready for this. We are now a cheer family, following big sis to her games and cheering her on, as she cheers the team on. The scary part? She's good at it. Like really good. Her memorization skills are insane so learning more than 8 cheers in one week was a breeze for this girly.
SCHOOL
Big sister is at a new school this year. While there have been some slight adjustments, she's put on her big girl face, braved an entirely new environment, and 4 weeks later, come out with new friends, new routines, and a mess load of stories. Along with her cousin, Lo, she's joined drama club. (Wait for their solo performances on the blog in November.)
It's stressful moving your kids around from school to school. While this wasn't the original intention when she began TK, it's proven to be an environment that is better suited for our family. We have family there, friends who are family, and already feel incredibly invested in both the school and church. Please pray as we transition throughout the year. Buggy has been incredible. Her willingness to accept new challenges and put on a brave face is inspiring. At 6 years old, she is my hero.
MOVING AND SHAKING
Literally. Logan has only been walking a couple of months and he is on the move. He rarely sits still and is always looking for ways to climb and jump. Last week alone he managed to bruise, scrape, and scratch every part of his face every day of the week.
LOUD NOISES
The back seat of my car is unbelievably noisy, in the best way possible. I worried so much that my kids were too far apart in age and that they would never play together. I was completely wrong. They are so in love with each other. My car is always filled with uncontrollable laughter and that is such a blessing. At times, big sister is the only one who can calm Cubby down. I love that she makes an effort to include him (even in the things he doesn't understand). They spend most days hand-in hand for absolutely no reason and honestly...THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD.

1 year stats:
29 lbs. 4 oz. (not even on the percentile chart)
31.5 inches long (95th percentile)
Prior to his birthday, Mom did a 1 year photoshoot that didn't go as well as expected. Because of this, he hates cake.

Then there's Papa. He came for the cheer, but stayed for the football. :)
This guy just comes to walk around.

I hope that even though I've been awful at posting updates, that you'll continue to read them every once in awhile to see how our family is constantly changing and how our relationships with each other continue to grow.
God Bless,
