NYC Trip: Day 3

NYC Trip: Day 3

Chris flew in early Friday morning. We were so happy to have Daddy back with us! We ate some lunch at the apartment and immediately threw him into the chaos of New York.      Chris titled this photo, "Atti sees dead people". Lorelei was having a hard time...

NYC trip: Days 1 & 2

The next morning we lazed around the apartment before getting up and finally deciding to go do something. It was really nice to have a lazy morning! This is Lauren's apartment building:       We had our first train ride, which the kids thought was super...

Wow... what a whirlwind week we have had! We had a basically free trip to New York fall into our laps. Our Aunt Pucci (my sister) is in the process of moving back to Texas after living in NYC for 5 years. She came to Texas for our Grandma's birthday at the beginning...

(Incase you missed it, part 1 is here!) The next morning we woke up and had a proper trailer breakfast-- breakfast tacos! Filling and delicious, yet super easy to throw together. Planning easy meals that don't require a huge amount of prep, space, or utensils is 100%...

It's been so cold lately that when we saw the potential for warmer weather, we decided to load up the trailer and head south to Bastrop State Park. We haven't had much outside time in the last month or so-- like most Texans, my kids just don't like it when it's too...

Christmas Day 2017

Christmas Eve was a sleepless night. Logan woke up at 2am and sneaked out of our room to see if Santa had come. Santa had already been to our house, and he of course got super excited and wanted to open presents. I was not about to wake everyone up (at 2am!!) because...

This year, we were able to spread our Christmas celebrations out over a couple of days. In years past, we would celebrate at our house in the morning, and then spend a couple of hours with Chris' side of the family, and then drive an hour to my parents' house to spend...

This. Kid.     Somehow I blinked and my little baby is now a boy. A hilarious, kind, and curious boy. This is his last photo as a 5 year old... sleeping on a pallet on the floor of my room. He has had some anxiety issues at night-- he's worried that someone...
