Visiting Great Gran-ma

By
This weekend Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. They were on their way to Palm Coast to check in our their new house and stopped to see us on the way. We know they really only wanted to see Kenzie, but we're used to that now. On Saturday they went with Steven to look at furniture for their new house and Kenzie and I stayed home. We knew that Sunday was going to be a big day and didn't want to disrupt her routine too much two days in a row.

Sunday morning we got an early start and went to Crystal River to visit Great Gran-ma (Steven's grandmother). Kenzie slept about half the way there (total of about 45 minutes). We spent some time at the house with Diane while Gran-ma learned some new things on her iPad from Dad Y.







Kenzie also got her first experience with a dog other than Jack. She seemed to like Sammy. He is more her size and he was super friendly with her.






After visiting for a bit, we met up with Aunt Rosemary, Uncle Brad, Robb, Dante, and their brood for lunch. We had a great time visiting with everyone and lunch was really good. The sandwiches were huge! The only problem was that we were so full that we had to push back dinner quite a bit. Kenzie did really well in the restaurant for how long we were there. She had some oatmeal and applesauce for lunch. She did require us to hold her almost the entire time after she finished lunch but that was mainly because she was just so tired since napping seemed to be out of the question earlier.


On the way home, Kenzie slept another 45 minutes. That's all the nap time she seemed to think she needed yesterday. When we got home she was super fussy. She ended up going to bed early (around 6:30 or 7 instead of 7:30). Yet, she slept through the night and woke up this morning around 7. She is now down for her first nap and has been napping for over 2 hours. Guess she is now making up for what she missed. =)

This weekend should hopefully be quieter around here. We have a friend coming to visit on Saturday morning while Steven goes to have his truck serviced and we have a couple people coming over to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, but other than that (and church), I think we are just going to sit around and do nothing. Maybe go to the park if we have some time one of those days. Eh... I'm actually looking forward to a relatively quiet weekend at home.

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

By
No. Nope. Not happening. Not even close.... but it is. As of tomorrow, Will is officially five-and-a-half. Halfway to six. SIX. What on earth? Both of our kids need to slow their roll and take it down a notch. It's so crazy to think that Will is going to be six in just six short months. He will start Kindergarten soon. He is already registered and ready to go. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes and it is a happy and sad time for me as Mama, for sure. So, a short update on Will at 5-and-a-half... - Will is growing like a weed. It is not uncommon right now for people to ask me if he has grown inches upon inches overnight. We are noticing that he is catching up to Kenzie fairly quickly and some of his friends that he used to be very similar in height to, he has gotten slightly taller than them. It's just his growth spurt time, apparently.  He remains remarkably skinny. So skinny that his clothes tend to fall of of him if we don't have adjustable waists. T...

Preschool Done.... One Step Closer to MIT

By
So, here it is. The end of "preschool." Note: "Preschool" and "VPK" are not used interchangeably for the purpose of our discussion. In the sense of the word, Kenzie is done with "preschool" and next year will be in "VPK". Eek! That's not allowed. Kenzie's first official year in school is now done. She is one year older, one year wiser, one year more stubborn. It's crazy for us to think back that just a few short months ago we were going to her Meet the Teacher day and we were both having some major anxiety about our baby going to school. I remember the first day of school plain as day. I thought she might have some apprehension. Nope. None. I probably shouldn't have been surprised. Kenzie went in like she owned the place. There was a day that her teacher mentioned that Kenzie was one of the quiet ones in the class and rarely spoke. I'm still not sure that she was thinking of my Kenzie. Maybe I had been dropping of...

Eight is Great!

By
Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...
