Fox, Katie & Nadine in 2015: Week 23

Day 155

This boy loves his dogs. Everything is "dog" these days and he gets really excited whenever he sees one! Even if they're not real!

Day 156

Fox's great grandparents gave him a dwarf citrus tree for his birthday. They planted it together and showed him how to water it. Ever since, he is obsessed with his watering cans, carrying them all over the yard. I love the sweet smile he gave me at the end and him shaking his head, like he's going to do something he shouldn't be doing!

Day 157

Our local Aquarium had annual passes for sale last month and for $22.50, we couldn't resist. We went for the first time last weekend and it was just perfect for Fox. It's not super big, but also not crowded, dark and cool and Fox was able to run around and look at everything at his own pace. We loved it and see lots of visits there this summer!

Day 158

The grandparents came for a short visit!

Day 159

It was Katie's grandma's birthday and we all went to dinner at the Hyatt. Fox wasn't to happy to sit in his high chair for two hours, so I took him outside and we played on their beautiful yard. He had so much fun climbing all of the stairs and trying to climb in their fountains!

Day 160

My mom gave him this shirt a long time ago, it's actually underwear and came with some big boy undies, but we loved it as tank as well and who needs an undershirt when it's 110 degrees out?

Day 161

Another visit at the aquarium. He loved this little cave and is pointing at the fish in the aquarium above him!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods. My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
