Rhonda came up for Adleigh’s birthday and to help out while Mike was gone. As always she and Liberty had a great time together! We will definitely miss her!

Adleigh enjoyed her day turning 2!

Almost everyone came down to see her! Poppy, Grandma, and Beth and Pap and Janice ventured down from Winchester and Nanny and Rhonda came all the way from FL! Adleigh is so lucky to have so many people that love her! Even aunt Becky and uncle Ben and sent a cute Belle doll package all the way from California.

Poppy and Grandma gave her a Belle costume that she happily wore around after presents. Beth gave her a Sofia doll and some accessories that she and Liberty have already have lots of fun playing. Pap and Janice brought probably 40 little beanie babies that she was happy to show around, and I think that big brother is ready to have some of his own!

Nanny gave Adleigh her very own robot! The kids had a lot of fun playing with Movi! They played red light green light and lots of other game! It will be fun to see Adleigh  try to figure it out over the next few days.

Rhonda had lots of great gifts for Adleigh! She awwwed over some cute Belle outfits and Belle shoes, Rhonda always keeps her girls coordinated!  She also really liked the flipbooks, belle umbrella, and liberty really loves the Belle tea set, it will be great to see them play together!

Canton got a sister a sleeping bag of the Minnie mouse and Liberty gave her some wooden Sofia and Amber dolls. Mom and Dad gave her Sofia books and hopefully a great party!

So thankful everyone could be with us today!

Happy Birthday Peanut! We Love ❤️ You

Adleigh spent her being her daring, funny, sweet self surround by some family! She followed her girl Nanny around saying “Hello Nanny!” at every turn.  She spent a lot of the time playing outside with Rhonda and Liberty.  Pap and Janice joined us for dinner, although she didn’t warm up to them, she enjoyed watching them from the security of Nanny’s lap!

Happy Almost Birthday Peanut!

First Day Being One

Last Day Being One

Adleigh loves to do calendar each day! She especially loves to pick out her birthday 🙂

The girls have been very into dressing up,  nothing new for Liberty, but I love to see Adleigh do it with her! 🙂

Liberty had her first day of preschool today! She goes Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9 to 12.

She start in the morning very excited. She chose an owl shirt and pants to wear, very true to form! She was still really excited on the car ride over and enjoyed taking pictures with her sign. We had a few tears well up right when we walked in the classroom. However, she soon found some paint and told me “I’ll be ok mom.” Oh my heart!

Adleigh and I cried the whole way home, haha, for very different reasons though! Miss Independent wanted to walk in the parking lot instead of being carried and she didn’t like that!

When I picked her up she was in a reading tent with a friend and she excitedly greeted me and Adleigh! She told me that she painted and had fun making cakes for dionosuars on the playground! We said she can’t wait to go back Wednesday!

On the way home she asked “Can we get some Chick-Fil-A lunch since it’s such a special day?” Haha!

Then we finished the day off playing with homemade play doh (Mom can you make the play doh we have at school, it’s so much better than the regular play doh ) oh this girl!!

For the first time, Mom and Adleigh joined Dad, Canton, and Liberty for a day trip to Busch Gardens!  We stayed about 6 hours and enjoyed about every ride the kids could go on.  The teacups were certainly Adleigh’s favorite ride of the day; she went 3 times in a row!

Our baby is almost 2 😭😁

Adleigh has gained so many new words this month! She can say a lot of animals and their sounds, letters, numbers, she can even count to 10 (if you say 6).

She has had a rough few weeks trying to get her canine teeth in. They are the last ones to come in for her and they are giving her a tough time. She would love to eat a popsicle all day long so we have change to chewing on ice. She still doesn’t like to eat much though. I guess she will be picky like her brother.

She also LOVES music and dancing. Her favorite thing to do is watch a YouTube clip of the frozen song or any other Disney songs and sing and dance along with me and sometimes her siblings.

When you get her up in the morning and ask her what she’s going to do she will say “Lou Canton” meaning she will play with Liberty and Canton.  They head off to school soon so it will be an adjustment. Adleigh will have Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings with just me and her.

Another new normal 🙂

Height: 34 inches

Weight: 24.75pounds

Canton will be in third grade and Liberty will head to preschool 3 days/week. 

As you know, super hard to get three kids in same good shot, but we did alright 😉

We had fun viewing the eclipse. Williamsburg got about 85% coverage. Mike took some great pictures!

And the animals did go crazy—a bird flew into the house!

We are planning our road trip for the next one on 2024!
