Happy Easter/Spring

Spring is officially here. I think Spring is my favorite time of year. Everything just feels so new and fresh. I love that the daylight is longer. I love being outdoors. It feels good. Funny that my birthday usually falls right around this time! Good way to start out a new year. It has been nice with family being around. Gran PD came up the weekend before my birthday. We all took M-Kid to see his first movie, went for some pizza and ice cream. Poor M-Kid wasn’t feeling so hot. M-Dad planted some tomatoe plants he gave us in the backyard. Easter was spent well. We of course started out the day by going to church, took our typical Sunday morning walk down by the pier, and made it up the mountain. M-Kid is such a trooper! He can do most of the walk on his own 2 little legs! He also had fun finding his Easter basket in our yard at his “new house” as he calls it. Then we spent the afternoon at Grandma & Grandpa’s house. Family, fun, and food. Nana A and Nana B also came to visit right around Spring Break time. We spent some good quality time together. Went to a children's museum that had animals and fun stuff for M-Kid to play on. We also hung out in P-Town and watched movies at home.

We Have Been Busy!

Hello everyone (my 2 readers)

I know, it has been awhile since I’ve written a blog. It has just been REALLY busy! So the main updates, obviously as many of you already know…

First and foremost. We achieved one of our lifelong goals/dreams…and it is a dream. We bought a home in a beautiful coastside town. We love it! It is absolutely perfect for our family. We are still in the process of getting organized, but visitors are always welcome!

Second, we adopted a doggy. We believe that M-Dog is some sort of shepherd/retriever mix. He is around 1 ½. He is pretty good so far, loves attention and is very protective of our home. He got off with a rough start with M-Cat but he is getting better. He is still afraid of him, but is also slowly warming up. We hope they will eventually become friends =)

What else…. M-Kid is doing wonderfully in pre-school. He recently moved up to the 3 year old class. He is in full sentences and continues to learn so quickly. He is a very good and sweet boy, he has his moments….but the terrible 2’s have turned out to not be so terrible (well, in my opinion anyway….of course I might totally be shooting myself in the foot…knock on wood!!). He is a total joy to be around. And...he still loves his trains and cars!
