Our crazy fun life

I have a mix of different pictures from before & after our trip to FL that I've been wanting to post. They capture all the fun we have on a daily basis :)

Emma's friend Samantha came over to play after school one day. These two are so crazy together. They met when Emma was Levi's age (18mos), they are in preschool together, they fight, they chase, and they love! This particular playdate reminded me of a friend of mine and the way we used to be when we were their age (any guesses.....michelle.......??)!

Playing on the swings in FL. We have a picture in our house of Levi on this swing from last winter, and Emma always talks about going back to the park in FL to play on these swings. So here we are. And surprise, surprise, little Emma can pump that swing all by her big-girl-self!!!

A tea party for 3. Hands down, my favorite part of any day is when I see these two playing together, giggling, calling/looking for each other, snuggling..........anything. As times goes by and Levi is able to communicate with Emma better, they are playing more and more. The other night, Emma leaned over to Levi in bed while we were reading books and said "Levi, you are my best friend", with a big hug. My two little loves, love each other, and I love it. LOVE!

It helps that he lets her dress him up :)

Emma's new giant size dollhouse she got for Hanukah!

 

playing catch, aka, avoid the ball Levi chucks towards your face



Look closely, Levi is sporting a pink princess skirt. And I'm pretty sure he slipped out of his high heels as he was running to sneak into this picture :)



Playing with the neighbors. We are so lucky to have a best bud for Levi living right behind us!!



And the big news!!!! We finally said goodbye to the Cav......and hello to a Chevy HHR! Felix was driving the cavalier ever since we bought the van. This two-door beauty served me well since my sophomore year in college, and with just over 120k miles, it was slightly sad to give it up. But, with a trunk that wouldn't open, an emergency break on the brink of failure....again......, a door that alerts EVERYONE you are here with its awkward squeal when you open it, and the strange ticking sound the car made when in reverse, we felt it was time. Not to mention the fact that we didn't think it was safe enough to drive the kids in, perhaps Felix shouldn't be driving it either!!

So, hello HHR. I'm not sure what is most exciting about this new car. The nice drive, the black color and tinted windows, the electric locks & windows, room for the kids, the working & spacious trunk. Felix is so happy to be driving it, AND, he picks Emma up from school when he can so Levi can nap, which makes ME happy. A very exciting time for all!!!
