It's

Coming August 3rd. (Or even better Aug. 2nd for my mom's 60th birthday)

I TWO

Royal turned two on the first. He got some great gifts including a bike and got to decorate his own cake.
We went to the Wildlife World Zoo thanks to a B1G1F coupon and the fact that Royal is still free to get in. As soon as he saw the train he was a broken record, "I ride choo-choo, I ride choo-choo."
He's quite the character. Still 98% happy (those twos do kick in for some moments) and is really developing a sense of humor now that he can talk. We're sure grateful for the joy he brings into our lives.

Christmas

Both my sisters Juli and Emily came for Christmas this year. What a treat.

Bob the Builder

Royal has taken a huge interest in Bob the Builder lately. One day he grabbed a metal bowl and put it on his head. I thought, "cute." Then he ran outside and started digging with the shovel. Amazing how influenced they can be for so young.

Thanksgiving

My parents came for Thanksgiving as did Chase's sister and family. What's a boy to do with so much attention?

Nursery Bound

Royal went to nursery in September. He loves it, especially if they already have the toys out before he gets there. His nursery leaders are excellent in teaching music too. He's way into singing time.

My Christmas

Visiting my family is my Christmas. It comes only once a year, bummer. But when we're together the fun is non-stop.
Oh such more I could post, but it's taking WAY too long.
