Time for an update!

I know you're probably expecting some house pictures BUT I don't have them quite yet!  I promise I will put them up soon!  Our blinds will arrive in the next few weeks along with a few final touches and then, I think the house will be photo ready.  Honest. 

With that said, I give you my famous line of these days:  We've been busy!

I'm not sure how I ever fit a career into the mix!?

The kids are growing like weeds and I can hardly grab hold of each memory!  Life moves fast.  Avery is blossoming into her own person, speaking in sentences and showing off that charming personality daily.  As Warner has learned to sit up, roll everywhere and nearly crawl, Avery sees him as a friend, a playmate even more!  Every time they show affection for each other I melt.  Hopeless romantic for sibling love - if that's even a thing.

Warner had his "little boy part" surgery a few weeks ago and it didn't even phase him.  His calming energy is addictive.  It's either that or those squeezable cheeks!

 
In the next few posts to come, I will give a sneak peak at what fills our days!

In the meantime...

Halloween without the Wheel.

Wagon Wheel trick or treaters = 815.
Project 57 trick or treaters = 0.  That's right Zero.

I know I'm late on this post but figure I'll get caught up one of these days.

hahahahahaahahahaaa - I just heard that in my head.  Get caught up.  hahaa.  Hysterical.

But you can't blame me for trying!

So Halloween was a bust at the new house and really made me regret the move...at the time.  But a few weeks later and with more progress made on the house, I've had a change of heart.  Oh - and the fact that our pool fence was stolen at Wagon Wheel only helps our cause.

Avery went to a few houses and understood the concept of "begging for candy" enough to have a great time!  It was a adorable and her and Warner looked simply "smashing" in their costumes. 

Glenda, Lisa and Jason spent the evening with us pigging out on pizza and candy!  Sooooo - clearly the night wasn't a total bust.

 

All Aboard!

Cool weather in Arizona brings out pretty much...EVERYONE!  Including the Morrison family.  

This past weekend seemed like the perfect opportunity to introduce Avery & Warner to the "choo choo train" we've been talking up!  And just as we anticipated, they had a blast!  Avery couldn't stop observing her surroundings with such admiration!  Even Warner was all smiles and seemed like a natural aboard the McCormick steam train.  Then the Carousel, of course! 

Days like this reveal the major perks of having kids!  The Zoo, Train Parks, Museums and Beach days...no wonder Peter Pan never wanted to grow up!

It was a memorable family adventure and one we plan to repeat often! 

 

6 AND 7 Months!

Is it any big surprise that I'm late on the monthly marker photos?  Well, not really late on his 7 month which was yesterday!  WOW!

But the 6 month?  Yes.  Yes I am a wee bit behind and admit, I only took those 2 weeks ago.  You do the math.

Even in the short 2 weeks, he was wiggling significantly more which reminded me how Avery's photo shoots progressed...Oh the unpredictability but a sign of the times.  The sweet, wild times.

Despite having surgery 2 weeks ago (post to follow) Warner has continued to be super baby!  He is a JOY and as my Dad puts perfectly: "the most expensive doll ever".  He's so chill (enter Chris' genes) and happy.  I adore you sweet boy!

 *Warner did great at his 6 month dr.'s appointment despite a big round of immunizations...are we surprised?  Nope.  But again, Chris (and myself) had to join in the fun with a good ol' flu shot.

Hmmm...looks like a little girl snuck her hand in the picture!?  ;)
