Visiting Grandma and Grandaddy

By
As a lot of you might know, Steven's parents (Mom and Dad Y or Grandma and Grandaddy) recently moved from South Florida to Palm Coast. This move was a pretty big deal as Mom and Dad Y have lived in the same house for over 30 years. Steven helped them move a couple of weekends ago but this weekend we decided to take a trip to visit them so that Mackenzie and I could see the house as well. Their house is so very nice! Makes me jealous! They have so much room and the storage is just insane. We had a great day visiting and Kenzie had a blast playing on their grass. They have St. Augustine (whereas we have Zoysia and it is still dormant at this point so it isn't really soft yet) and she had such a great time experiences the different texture. I'm still learning to use my camera as a true DSLR so I just had to get a couple of shots of Kenzie playing in the really green grass. I just wish I would sometimes think to have someone take a picture of her and I or the three of us so that I would have more as a family. Sigh! The life of a Mommy... always behind the camera and never in front. =)



She seemed to think she was a cow and needed to taste the grass too...
We are so glad they are close by now. They are actually about an hour and a half which is the same as my parents so we will be able to see them a lot more often. They are actually really close to my parents so maybe we will even all be able to get together at some point.

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...
