I think it's time for an update.....

I have been so busy the last two years!  My work load has increased exponentially this year and my little family just gets busier and busier as well.  

My biggest news is that I will be retiring at the end of this school year and this blog will once again become active, especially for the far off family members!  I'm looking forward to being a room mom, a PTO volunteer, running and cleaning while the kids are in school, and just enjoying my beautiful children.

Landon is in kindergarten, some days happily and other days not so much but he's learning and making good friends.  Rileigh is in her first year of preschool which she LOVES!  Her best friend is Emma and we hear all about Emma!  Both of my kiddos are growing like weeds.  Landon lost his first tooth a few months ago, at school thankfully.  Rileigh is off the growth charts for height, clocking in at 3'6"!  

 The kids enjoyed the snow in PA over the Christmas break.  Sledding and snowman building!

This pic was taken this winter on a warmer day.  

This is the most recent picture I have of the two of them together that you can see their sweet faces! Rileigh likes to hide her face when I try to take a picture!

More Summer Pics!

Rileigh was given this on her one year birthday but she was too little for it. I put the stroller away and got it out yesterday. She and Landon are fighting over who gets to wheel the babies around! This was yesterday morning. I was off school but Landon wasn't so she got to play with it all by herself!

Landon loves to take the cushions off the couch. Sometimes he makes a fort, sometimes a walkway so the sharks can't bite his feet and sometimes they just lay on them!

This was taken this weekend enjoying the sand box!

There are rare moments of sibling love. Landon is jealous of Rileigh as she still isn't as independent as he is. He does love her though and will occasionally show it!

Goofy boy crafting!

Ri likes to draw too, on everything so she has to sit in her high chair to draw!

"Elton Joe"

So, Ri still sleeps with me, gasp! I enjoy snuggling with her. Landon sleeps with Rob. We have an arrangement that works for us. Though I am trying to get into her crib which is attached to my bed. Here she's half in the crib and half in my bed. Progress, I say!

Landon's been doing speech therapy for almost a year now. We recently switched to a new therapist and she's amazing. He is really making strides in his speech. He brings his tongue between his teeth and has trouble with "ca" sounds. He's really improving!

My kids love the bounce house!

I took this video with my phone. I'm not sure it will work but it's Landon riding his bike.

Finally....

These are just some of my favorite summer pics. If you're on Facebook, you've seen them all before. But for family who isn't here ya go! I'm going to try to make updating this blog a priority! It's hard working full time, training and being a mom to two toddlers but I'll try!

Landon's first day of school! Pre-k at preschool this year!

Rileigh is saying new words everyday. Today was feesh (fish!). She has the best little accent like her brother. And she has a flair for the dramatic too. She loves being outside and really liked this cow at the Gettysburg Mini Horse Farm.

New update coming soon!

I promise, I'm working on a new update. I've been busy and when I do have time I could update I find other ways to use it, like napping with my baby girl! Here's a picture to hold you over....

I took Landon to a bouncy place in the mall.
He always has so much fun there!






My little girl is walking!



Landon got a Zuzu pet for Christmas. Ri loves it.
She knows how to turn it on and off and loves to get
it moving and then chase after it!



My musical genius!
