New Year update

January 2015 in a nutshell!  We are preparing to move next weekend, so it's been a crazy topsy turvy 2015 so far...Packing, packing, packing.  A quick update on life as we know it at this very {fleeting} moment:

LUCCA:
Loves..Palace Pets
American Girl
FASHION!!!  Loves to change her clothes and put outfits together.
Dance & Gymnastics
Writing in "cursive" and doodling in notebooks
Reading
Loves setting the table for dinner and making it fancy
Such a caretaker, especially if someone is sick/sad. Very nurturing. Would make a perfect nurse.
Lost her 1st tooth!





JACKSON:
PLANES...still!  All.The.Planes.
Hot Wheels, especially "loopty loops"
Watching My Big, Big Friend on AppleTV
..and "Egg Videos" on YouTube
Anything tech - especially my iPhone
His imagination has taken off and it's so incredible to watch him play.
Adores Lucca.
Keeps having bad dreams about Aliens and Pirate Ships
Asks to have sushi for every meal.






KELSEY:
Very much ready to be set-up in the new house.
Over winter. Ready for summer!
In love with every moment I spend with my family.
Riding my awesome turquoise bike.
Doing T25 workouts, which means I can't walk every other day.



RUSTIN:
Already working on his 2nd freelance project of the new year.
Dominating the market.
Brings me a Peet's coffee every morning.
Runs for fun.  #crazy
Just turned 39!  We celebrated at Hopmonk.







We are healthy, happy, loving each other and loving life.  If Rustin and I could freeze time with the kids being 5 and 3, we would.  We love to tell Lucca she can't turn 6 - but, she's fine with skipping 6 altogether and moving on to 7. Or 8.  This 1st month of the year has been a whirlwind and we are surrounded by boxes everywhere we look, but a fresh start is on the horizon and we can't wait!  

My 2015 is officially starting in February.  And it's gonna be amazing.

Stone Mountain becomes Snow Mountain in the winter & we spent the entire day there having loads of fun! Tubing, building snow castles, riding the train and gondola and absolutely freezing our faces off on top of the mountain.  

CUTE kids in snow bibs..


We came veryyy prepared for the snow

Lucca getting Daddy in a predicament that resulted in Daddy having wet feet for the rest of the day. Oops.

Exploring the top of Stone Mountain. It was FREEZING.  


We had a blast. Love my family so much.
