Three years ago when Darren and I moved our little family of three to Vero Beach Florida, we never anticipated to make some of the best friends we have ever known. We were ready to pack up and move home after the first six months here; however, slowly but surely we started to make friends. These friends have been our family while we are away from home. Tonight we had some of our friends over to celebrate my birthday. The original plan was for the adults to go out to a nice restaurant and leave the kids with babysitters. This did not work out because all of the babysitters were out of town. So the plans changed and everyone (including kids) came to our house to celebrate. I am so glad that our original plans did not work out. I can not think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than with the people who we love to be with. The kids ran around all night and played and the adults spent some much needed social time together. It was a great night.
On another note, Blake graduated to his new lazy boy seat today. Actually, it is just a huge car seat but it might as well be a recliner in the van. It is HUGE!! But he loves it and he fits much better in it. We bought it at Babies R us and decided to put it right in the car in the parking lot. BIG MISTAKE!!! If any of you know Darren, you know that if things do not work according to his plan, he gets completely stressed out. Well, we start putting the seat into the car and attach all of the latch connections. Then Darren tries to tighten the straps; however, he can't get them to tighten. He tries for a good twenty minutes and still no luck. After taking the seat out and inspecting it and reading the directions, still no luck. The seat was about to be thrown across the parking lot when I called my brother and sister-in-law for their help as they have the same car seat. Turns out that there was a little trick to pulling the strap that the directions do not tell you about. THANK YOU JOHN AND DEBBIE for saving the seat from a life in the parking lot of Babies R us. So now the seat is in the van and Blake is riding in style.
Kayce is really starting to get a little personality. It is amazing how two people conceived by the same two people can be so different. Kayce is the complete opposite of Blake. She is so laid back and happy. Blake is happy but he is into everything and needs to be entertained all the time. He does not like to play by himself. Kayce is quite content with jumping in her bouncearoo or sitting on her blanket with her toys. Don't get me wrong, she LOVES to be held but is fine when she is by herself. I would say that it is just that she is the second child but I was the second child and I was more like Blake while by brother was more like Kayce. It does not really matter why it is the way it is, I am just amazed at the difference.
Sorry there have not been any pictures. I am working on uploading some and will post them as I get them on the computer.
