bathroom trip

It is inevitable right? We're headed to dance class and as soon as she has all the gear on (leotard, tights, skirt, hoodie and shoes) a trip to the bathroom is in order!

fun friday

Tyler is ready for a fun Friday at school!

rainbows

Jenna's most favorite things are rainbows! So much so that when I asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween, her response was "a rainbow!" I found this tutu on Etsy and she loved the idea of being a rainbow ballerina. Here is the sneak preview.

patio project

Our new patio is such a wonderful addition to our home. We love relaxing and eating outside now that we have another outdoor "room." We also love being closer to the kids and Ruby as they run around and play in the fenced backyard.

mile

Tyler ran a mile tonight!

food games

Cuddling with my man watching the Gator game while the kids keep taking my order and feeding me fake food from the play kitchen. Good times.

rainbow zebra?

snuggle!

purple

Got to have a special conversation with Tyler's teacher this morning since he was the first in his class "to reach purple," which apparently is a very good thing. I'm so thrilled that Tyler is so in love with learning and school!

tennessee

We headed to Tennessee to visit our good friends, the Redmons, and catch a Gators v. Vols SEC football game (Gators won 37-20!). What a fun weekend!

fresh new day

go ravens!

on the porch

Tyler: "Come take out picture on the porch. We look so cute together." 

Jenna: "Join us for a drink. It is so beautiful outside." 

I can't argue with either of them.

silhouettes

Love Tyler and Jenna's silhouettes. Artist noted J's deceptively long hair; I'm glad he was able to capture her beautiful curls and signature bow.

trees make for a lot of work

saturdays are for...

This bear was Tyler's originally but Jenna has now laid her claim to it and deemed him a her. She named her Snuggle Bear just like Tyler's Snuggle Bear from Granny.

best workout

Best workout ever! Not in terms of calories, but company. It was the first time Tyler had the stamina and interest in joining beyond the first ten minutes. I still remember him diving through my legs during lunges when he was much smaller! Got to love his enthusiasm for a challenge.

family portrait

My most favorite family portrait ever!

butterfly exhibit

Very rare clear-winged butterfly from Costa Rico. We saw three!
