Two Southern Boys: January 2016

I have vowed to myself that I would not subcum to the usual antics of baby number two, you know, where you don't take as many pictures or don't have as much time for the novel things and yet, here we are, I have yet to blog about the upcoming member of our family. Baby Freaney, I apologize now. I promise you are not second fiddle, even if your older brother does have us on our toes nonstop!

I started this blog three years ago for Landon, which is hard to imagine that three years of writing this has gone by already. That babe of ours certainly keeps us on our toes and keeps us busy... we only have ourselves to blame as he only takes after his parents.

So what's happened since the last blog…. A lot. Announcing we're pregnant, with another baby boy, halloween, our first nephew being born, family visiting for Thanksgiving, a trip on the Polar Express, Christmas, Disney World and just recently, going under contract on a new house and being under contract on our townhouse. Life's a changing over here and it's happing faster than we'd like it. If I could only freeze time, catch up on life and then take a long vacation on a tropical beach where I do nothing but read and sleep (I'd say drink but I still have 14 weeks before I can do that, not that I'm counting until I can pop open that bottle of wine)

Starting with the biggest news first, we found out that we were pregnant the last weekend of August. We are over the moon excited to add another member to our family, the second time around is so much different than the first. There isn't the unknown of what it'll be like to have a tiny human to care for, you know what that's like. There's more of the unknown of how you're going to not only love this new baby as much as your first, but how and the hell will you have time to chase after two AND still manage to have time as a couple AND for yourself. I know we'll find a groove and we soon after Baby is born we won't remember life any other way. The other difference is you hardly have time to dwell on the fact that you're pregnant. I'm just too damn busy chasing after an active two-year-old, going through the holidays, and now, focusing on moving to be thinking about being pregnant. We keep saying that after we're moved and settled we'll be baby focused. I suppose we really won't have a choice because by that time, he'll be about 6 weeks before he arrives.

Here's the little nugget!

You're next question is probably... where are you moving? We're moving about 2 miles away from our townhouse. It's a craftsman style house, with everything we wanted in a house. It was quite the find. Four bedrooms, a man cave, a playroom and a backyard. We couldn't be more excited. We close on both houses on February 17th. We won't move for about a week after closing (we're renting our townhouse for a week) as all of the hardwood floors have to be completely redone. There are just a few small things that need to be fixed to the house so it'll be fun to see it transform into our own. We're just mostly looking forward to the pups (and the boys) having a backyard to let loose all their energy.

Disney was our "Your time as an only child is about to expire" trip (and because we love Disney ourselves.) We had an absolute blast and were so excited that Kevin's Aunt and Grandma could come with us to join in on the fun!

As for the rest of the fun, I'll let the pictures do the talking...
