ONE YEAR OLD

Allison is one year old! It's hard to believe how much more quickly this year passed than it did with Abigail. Allison is truly fiesty, independent, sweet and happy. She's a remarkable little baby and has made our family unit complete. We are so thankful that she's here and couldn't imagine life without her. It's true what they say, having a baby changes you and the only thing that changes you more than that is having a second baby. Allison has changed us and our family and we are better for having her in our lives. She's helped shape us into better parents along with her big sissy's sweet help too!

Since she's at the one year mark we tried out the sombrero. She didn't hate it too much, but certainly wouldn't keep it on her head for long! Then we really threw her for a loop when we put her on the floor with it....there weren't many usable pictures out of that series! Happy Birthday sweet Allie Cat.

 

Much Love,

Eating Out

Now that Allison is a little older (and more cooperative!) we try to go out to dinner as a family every couple weeks. The girls always enjoy seeing the other customers and eating the food. This time Allison even had a cute bow, her hair is getting just long enough.

Valentines Day 2016

Happy Valentines Day! We are so lucky to have such sweet Valentines in our life. Abigail had been excited all week to get her Valentines surprise so when we got home from church that was the first thing she asked to do! Both the girls got a teddy bear and Abby got chocolate hearts too. Allison is still holding out for sweets! We had a great day together as a family.  We hope everyone enjoyed their day too!

Much Love,

Moises & Jennifer

Family Time

This weekend we spent close to home. It was another beautiful and warm one, daddy even took time to clean mommy's car! We spent some time outside. The girls love playing outside. We set out a giant quilt and just spent the afternoon together. It was very fun! Super Bowl Sunday we let Abigail stay up for the half time show, then sent her off to bed. She was rooting for the 'orange' team...just like mommy and daddy!

Much Love,

Sunny weekends, school visits

This past Friday, Allison was sent home sick with a tummy ache. Unfortunately, mommy also caught it! The good news is that neither Daddy nor Abby caught the bug. The bad news was that it was the first warm and sunny weekend of the year and the kids were desperate to get out of the house. Thankfully, mommy started feeling better by Saturday afternoon so we all packed up and headed to the park. It was Allison's first time on a swing and she was not a fan! We took her out and let her watch Abigail swing and run all over the playground.

 

Abigail is going to be starting kindergarten this fall so we have been checking out local schools to see which one she'll be attending. This Sunday we went to the first one on our list and Abby loved it. She's been asking us if she can start going to school there now. We told her there are a few more to check out, but we're pretty sure she was sold when the teacher let her play with all the cool toys. We'll see if it's the school she ends up going to in the fall!

Much Love,

11 Months Old!

Wowzers! We're just not sure when it happened that Allison was nearly one year old! Time seems to be marching fast and furious towards her first birthday. She continues to be a bright ray of sunshine in our family. She is standing on her own and sort of will cruise around furniture, but it's clear she's in no rush to be a walker. She also cut two more teeth on top, but this didn't affect her sunny disposition! Mommy and daddy are trying to soak up as much time with her while she's still a "baby"!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

Super daddy, super girls, super weekend

This past week daddy was on his own with the girls because mommy had some meetings out of town. Mommy missed her family, but from the looks of it, they had a good time! They are sweet girls with a sweet daddy. Daddy, Papa and the girls headed down to the lake house together on Thursday night because daddy had some business in Dallas too. Then the Cain kids came to town Friday evening. As usual, the kids all had a great time playing. Abigail particularly enjoyed her superhero mask and cape. She took some time to be a "Superhero Bad Guy" complete with evil laugh! It was hilarious when she stunned you with 'ice' from her hands and tried to take your phone....mommy loved it! By Saturday, they were pretty docile before bedtime, Chia couldn't even coax real smiles from any of the older ones.
