Day 725 | Big News

It's official! Plans are being made for a move back to the Midwest for our little family and we couldn't be happier. It's not going to be easy leaving behind our [amazing] friends and this [fantastic] city but we're confident this is the right decision for us. Yippee!!

Day 724 | Whatever It Takes

We had an impromptu play date with some good friends tonight and the kids played contentedly together for much longer than we would have ever expected. How did this miracle happen, you might ask? They spent a good chunk of time "mailing" all these books under Robbe's bedroom door. It was glorious. 

Day 723 | A New Helmet

We finally purchased a much-delayed birthday present for Robbe today: a new helmet.

He picked out a fun blue animal pattern and wore it for most of the afternoon. Thanks, Aunt Erica and Uncle Jason for the money for the helmet. Sorry it took so long to pick it out and get you a photo!

Day 722 | Wednesday Dinners

For the past couple of months we've been rotating houses for Wednesday dinners with a friend down the street. Do you know how amazing it is to not have to cook + clean once every two weeks? It's glorious.

This sweet photo is of Robbe with our friends' little one, WD, watching out the window for any daddy sightings. So sweet.

Day 721 | Mr. Independent

I was running around the house cleaning like a crazy person today and stumbled upon our little two year old with a pretty impressive train set up, which he did with absolutely no help (and, just to be clear, Chase wasn't even home at the time of construction, he just showed up later to play). 

This scenario depicts Robbe perfectly. He's such an independent little sprout who enjoys playing solo even more than with his parents. Crazy, right? It's pretty amazing. 

Day 720 | Undies Update

Remember this post? After a short break from his fascination with undies, Robbe is going full-force again. He loves his truck undies so much he insists on wearing them over his diaper (he's really not quite ready for full-fledged potty training...and neither am I) and over his pajamas as you can see in the photo above.

Yes, just to confirm what you're seeing, Robbe (at exactly 2 years, 2 months) wearing truck undies over truck pajamas. This guy takes his interests seriously. I respect him for that.

Day 719 | Two Years

A rainy trip to the National Archives allowed us a break from lots of home projects this weekend.

Yep. It's been two full years of blogging [nearly] every day. That's no joke.

Here's the list of my favorite posts from the past year. If you have any favorites you think I should add, I'm interested.
