Friday Favorites

By
Did I mention how cute my niece and kiddos are? I'm sure I did. How could I not? This past weekend Julie, Eric, and Baby Evie (Kenzie refuses to call her anything other than this...) came to visit and meet Will. I am so thankful for family like them that traveled 8 hours each way to stay for less than 48 hours just to see us and meet Will. It's no small feat to drive to or from Atlanta. While they were here, we were able to get a few pictures of the family at Magnolia Park next to Lake Apopka, watch UCF and FSU play their respective games, and go to Long & Scott Farms to have some fun in the corn maze. It was a blast. We can't wait to see them again for Christmas.

In light of how much fun we had... this Friday Favorites is dedicated solely to last weekend's cousin and family time. Enjoy!

Kenzie can't help that her hair is bouncy and enticing, I guess.
Evie was focused numerous times throughout the weekend on
getting her hands on it. You might notice that theme in some of
these following pictures. =)

These two are too adorable together. I love watching them
get older and how they interact.

We had a blast this past weekend. Next week brings Thanksgiving. I can't wait to celebrate with our family and have a fun weekend having some family time as well as going shopping for the kiddos' Christmas. Happy Friday everyone! I hope you enjoyed your week and have a great weekend!

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...
