We love to swing!

Before Kohen was born we got a playground for the backyard - this is what I had in mind when buying it. 😄

 

 

 

 

Expressive and sensitive

These are the two words we use to describe Kohen. When he is happy you get nothing but smiles but when he is mad you better watch out! He is getting his own personality for sure. 

 

Growing boy!

It amazes me how fast a baby can change. It seems like overnight. This little guy is getting bigger, smiling more, and winning over everyone's heart. 

 

 

Driving through fire

I am able to write this post from the safety of my home with my baby sleeping in the room next to me and my girl at school. I am feeling blessed today. My mom and I were taking a vacation in Gatlinburg last weekend when the wild fire spread. I remember looking out the window of our cabin and the mountain was glowing. We grabbed the kids and got out of the cabin as fast as we could. As we drove down the mountain the fire was crossing the road in front of us and burning right outside our window. I have never been so frightened.  

I think what surprised me the most was the overwhelming fear/love I had for my children in those moments. It is hard to put into words but all I could think about was keeping them safe. 

Seeing the news reports now makes it all seem so surreal. Our cabin burned to the ground along with all the stuff we left behind. But in retrospect I would have done the exact same thing. As long as my family was safe nothing else matters. My mom was incredibly brave and I am so thankful we were together. 

I am just going to give my kids a few more kisses and hugs in the weeks to come. 

 

Family Day

The kids and I are headed to Bloomington tomorrow and then off to Gatlinburg for a week. Ivan is on the ICU and working crazy hours. He did have today off and we had an awesome family day. We are going to miss daddy this week. 

 
 

Super dad

Ivan was nervous about residency and being away from his family. It is definitely a crazy schedule but he is doing an amazing job. He is an amazing dad and husband and we are so lucky to have him. 

He worked overnight last night and was only able to sleep 3 hours but got up to have a date seeing Cinderella with his girl. And tonight played with Avery and her cousins. 

We love you super dad!

Avery also went to see her new doctor - mostly she just wanted to be Kohen's doctor.
