Carli turned 5, started pre-k, and lost a front tooth all in the same week! My baby really isn't a baby anymore! We had a Moana birthday party, a trip to American Girl, and a pool party to attend. Talk about best birthday ever. She is equal parts sassy and sweet. She is a little mama to her sister and all her baby dolls. She has recently taken to tree climbing and bug searching too.
Kennedy is walking!! She really is the coolest baby around. She is so happy and funny!! I love watching the girls interact and Kenny's personality is really starting to shine. She is full of jabber...mama, dada, CC....she loves to see dogs or cats in the neighborhood, has a adorably devious little laugh, and is such a little piggy. She wants to try anything we are eating. She is especially intrigued with bubble gum:)
I started a new job in July that has given me so much freedom and flexibility to spend more time with the girls. I am working shorter hours and a few days a week from home. It is an amazing blessing to find an organization that values work/life balance and I am so grateful.
We officially added to our family this summer! Megan and Shane got married!!! The girls were both flower girls and looked adorable! Carli was a little nervous but did an amazing job and Kennedy looked cute and stayed quiet during the ceremony, which is what we were hoping for. It was a super fun night and we are so happy for them!
We also headed North for a week to enjoy beautiful Lake Michigan. It was so nice to spend our days swimming and having fun. Carli loved the pool and the waves in the lake and after a bit Kennedy loved the sand. I fell in love with the mini van we rented and I am ready to make a purchase later this year. I know there is nothing "cool" about it but I am picking convenience and practicality for now. Even Nick admitted, that is has cool features and is totally made for a mom on the go! 
We had to return to the great State of Ohio before football season started! We are only two games into the season and Kennedy has got her O-H-I-O down and Carli likes to yell, "boo, Michigan!"
My Buckeye Babies!!
