One month from today my little baby girl will turn two years old. I absolutely cannot believe it. Though I know she's more than ready to be a two year old-I'm thinking the way she acts, so grown up, that she was ready months ago!! I know all parents feel their kids grow up way too fast, it's part of life. The last few months have been a major adjustment and while I feel like it took time away that I would normally have gotten to spend with Avery, it let me see things about Avery that I wouldn't have otherwise. She's a great big sister and a real sweetheart with a vibrantly strong will.
I'm so blessed to have the amazing kids that I have-I thank them every day for letting me be their mommy. I want to keep that sentiment in my mind as we embark on a very long road trip as a family in a week! That's right, we're off to New Hampshire. Why NH you may ask. Well, Artie got the "assignment" to head out there for work to help close a plant that his company has out there. He decided the trip would be better if we all went along:) We're very excited to be taking this family "trip" this year to break Spencer in to traveling. In Avery's 1st year, she went to Chicago for St. Patty's Day, LA a few months later and then Charleston, SC! So, I'm happy to get to take Spencer a few places-including the ocean-in his first year:) I'm even more excited that it's New England during fall! We'll be out there during prime autumn time-including a few weeks from my favorite holiday, Halloween!! We may even get to take a short trip to Salem, MA!! I hope I'll have some good stuff to post:)
The weather has been so great the last few days, so this morning, I loaded the kids up and took them to the park. Avery had a blast, I pushed her on the swing for probably 35 minutes or more out of the hour we were there! Spencer slept great in his carrier on my chest:) We even chatted with a mommy/daughter pair! Hope everyone is getting to enjoy this beautiful fall weather:)
My little Spencey Cole...he was making that face because the wind gusts were gettin' him!
Such a big girl now...so different from when we'd bring her to the park a year ago!
She's a champ at going down...and then back up the slide!
Really loving the tunnels today:)

I hope you enjoy your road trip. Bring some warmer clothes the high has been 60 around here lately.
That park looks awesome. Glad you guys were able to get out and enjoy the day.
Spencer looks so cute snuggled in the carrier.
Have a fabulous time~ I hope New England weather cooperates and you get some good fall weather!!
I can't believe Avery will be 2- that is crazy- time certainly does fly!!!
I love the park pictures!! It's been such a strange summer (for you too obviously)- I feel like we haven't been outside nearly enough in the past few months so it's great to have nice weather here a little longer for the park:)
Tons of luck with your traveling! We are off on a road trip to KC in a few weeks for a wedding, so I'm sure I'll be asking for tips on how you and Artie handled it...;)
GO IRISH!!!! We miss you- hope to see you very soon.
Love,
C:)
