Swinging, Swimming & No School!

Dear Kacie and Kalvin,

Well here we are! Living in Missouri.

We were really afraid that you were going to keep climbing out of your crib so we attempted to keep it a toddler bed… you loved it, and by 'it' I mean the freedom to get out. We did not.

So we put up the pack n play again until we could get the crib parts on your bed. Fortunately, you fell right asleep! And now we can wait a couple months until we are in our own place to attempt a toddler bed.


Grandma, Grandpa and your aunts and uncles all went on vacation the day after we arrived. So we were all alone for 2 weeks. You quickly grew found of the fire place. I think you like that it makes you feel tall, like you're on your own little pedestal!


Dad wouldn't let me take a picture of him chilling, but he was so laid back, eating some Cheetos, not having to do homework. He said he doesn't know what to do with himself! It'll be really nice to have a break from stressful school stuff.


There is a swing feet in the backyard, which you love!


Why are kids so adorable when they are messy!?! Seriously, you're too cute!


I gave you some stickers in the car one day to entertain yourself… it worked! You walked around Walmart with them all over your leg.


I've definitely decided that it's so gorgeous here and that if backyard views look like this, we will probably have to stay!


Unfortunately, it is not our backyard so hopefully we end up in a place with a good view like this!


Not that you care, because you're 2 years old and 2 months old, but our car reached a milestone...


Not necessarily a good thing because who wants to add more lies to their car? But what are you gonna do? It was kind of cool though because it switched to 99999 right as I pulled into the driveway!

Well, you really like coloring and you especially love markers, and why wouldn't you? Because markers are really fun! But you're also two years old and markers=things-i-use-to-color-on-myself



Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood has a pool so we will obviously be spending a lot of time there.


Look at your faces, they're the same in this picture!


Kalvin slept through our first pool adventure...


So he and I hung out pool side.


While daddy got you to try out goggles, or 'gobbles' as you call them!


You were sitting there with your glasses on, eating your snacks like "Yeah I'm cool."


It has been wonderful weather! So we've been spending some time on the porch.




I think one of my (and yours, Kacie) favorite thing is that there are critters running around the backyard all the time. If you look closely, there is a bunny. You love to stand at the window watching for bunnies! Occasionally you'll see a squirrel or Phil, the hedgehog, but mostly it's bunnies!


Having a swing set in the backyard backyard to have a swing set in, is really nice!


We've been playing out there a lot.



Even Kalvin loves it!


Front porch view:




This is kind of random but I just thought it was funny. We made these super delicious avocado BLT's one night for dinner. We used the George Foreman to cook them. When we pressed them down...


They ended up more than half the size they were before!


Anyway, we are really enjoying Missouri and the awesome weather here. Dad is still looking for a job, but we are being patient as we know it can take a little while for interviews to happen.

We love you both!

Mom and Dad
