So Alana (my TWO year old daughter!!) started school! It was really bittersweet, she was so excited and loves every minute of it! She spent the 1st week with Austin so of course she was fine. Then she got a new 2's teacher and is in her own classroom, which she seems to be adjusting well too! She looooves babies and phones (like most little girls) so she pushed her baby around and talked on the phone, it was so cute!

And this is her new funny fishy face that I can't get enough of!

New Home!

We finally moved into our own home! We are living in a condo next to the neighborhood I grew up in! So it is a little trip driving up the same hill that my mom drove up for 11 years! And the hill I learned how to drive stick shift on! The hill I walked up everyday to get to my best friends house! Weird! And now my children are walking up the same hill! Funny thing is that things haven't really changed. I can see the pool from my kitchen window and teenagers hang out at the pool, chain smoking at night, there is a whole bunch of kids that play outside, which we love! Strangely they are all around Austin's age, so my little social butterflies love it! And this is a picture taking by the entrance to the hood and I have many memories here too! :) Happy Happy! almost perfect....almost...

Family Hikes

One of my new favorite family activities is hikings followed by a picnic lunch! We did one at the beach and one in Whiting Ranch by our house. Alana is still a little lazy when it comes to walking so we sometimes bring the wagon which they both love so it makes Austin lazy! lol Usually he loves to walk and pick up sticks and rocks and look at bugs :) He is at the perfect age for hikes! Nothing is better than a free, fun, active and healthy activity!

New Year!

Wow, so its been a really long time since I have posted anything, but since I will be checking on blogspot more to keep in touch with my Texas BFF, I think I will try and post more! :)
