Parks...Pinning....Playing!

It has been so beautiful here the past week!  We have loved getting out and enjoying the weather and outdoors!  Since Josh was on shift work for so long and didn't have a day off for over 2 months he finally gets 3 days off!  It is only the first day and I must say all 3 of his girls are LOVING having him home!  We are so glad that the weather is so nice today because we were able to go and play at the park all morning with friends and Adah LOVED having daddy to run around with!

Yesterday was a special day as well, because Josh got promoted and pinned Lieutenant Commander!  We are so proud of him and all his does not only for us but for our Country!  Congrats Josh!  We love you!

This next week is going to be super exciting because my pal Val is coming to visit tomorrow and staying for the week!  I could not be more excited to see her and have her meet Michaela!  I know Adah is excited too....she loves her auntie Val!

Here are a few pictures from this past week:

I definitely think that Michaela will be our little tomboy....but maybe she won't....but she sure does HATE bows/headbands/hats/etc!

I may be a little biased but I think she is just the prettiest little baby girl in the world!  Her super cute onesie was made by my friend Becca!  She made the girls matching shirts...this one and then a submarine one!  They are SO cute!

 Adah loves to go out on our patio....here she is in her shirt that matches Michaela!

 I wanted to post a pic of these butterflies for my dad.....I finally got them painted and hung up on Adah's wall and she LOVES them!

 Here the girls are dressed in their matching Submarine shirts that Becca made...they wore them to go see daddy get pinned!  (Becca is starting and Etsy shop soon so I will be posting a link to her shop as soon as it is up and running!)

 Here are a few pictures from the park this morning!  Adah FINALLY decided that she liked swinging and isn't scared!  Up until today she has never wanted to swing and anytime we tried to put her in she would shake and cry!  Today she went up to the swing and asked her daddy to put her in....when she got in and he pushed her she kept saying "WEEE!"

 Josh getting pinned!

Georgia here we come!

We recently found out when we are moving to Georgia for sure and I CAN NOT WAIT!  Don't get me wrong I have made a few good friends here in VA that won't be going with us and I will miss them but I couldn't be more excited to being moving south and to a place were we will be for more than 6mths!  We will be in GA until at least November of 2013!  We are currently looking for a place to live and I actually have a friend going to look at a house for us today...right now as a matter of fact and I can't wait to hear back from her!  I am praying that if this is the place that God wants us to live that all things will work out!  Once we finalize things I will share more but I don't want to get my hopes up!  I'm sure you are wondering when it is we are moving....in just 3 short months!  Mid May, just after Adah's 2nd birthday, we will be saying adios to Virginia and Hello Georgia!  I am just so excited that I had to update!  I will be sure to post lots of pics once we find a place and some info on the area incase anyone wants to come see us in GA!

Picture overload

Now that Rachel made uploading mass quantities of pictures on here so easy I may get a little carried away!  Ha!  Some of these are close to the same but a little different but I couldn't decide which ones I liked the best so I just uploaded several...I knew our families wouldn't mind! :)

21 months

Sweet little Potatah, you turned 21 months this past Saturday!  You are growing, changing and learning so much everyday!  You are so sweet....so sassy.....so strong willed.....so demanding....etc!  Daddy and I just love you to pieces!  We go to sleep every night just talking about you and laughing and smiling!  I love to see you care for and want to help with your sister....whenever she cries you come running with your arms open saying "come here sit-her, come here!  Hold you!"

Just a few weeks ago we started music class at Gymboree and you LOVE it!  You love music, you love to dance, and you love to sing and learn about the instruments!  We also go to free play at their gym once a week so that you can run and play and climb!

Here are a few more things that you are up to lately:

-count from one to ten in english AND spanish

-you know too many words and repeat WAY TOO much

-you know your alphabet but we are working on saying it in order

-you switched to a big girl cup

-we are working on getting rid of your paci

-you have mastered walking up and down the stairs on your own

-you tell mommy and daddy that you LOVE US!  BEST THING EVER!

Mommy can't think right now!  Its been a long day with you and sister!  You are SO smart and SO beautiful and we love you SO much!

A couple of pictures of Adah from today!  It was 70 here today so we went to the zoo this morning and played on the patio after nap!
