First Word

Talan might love him some Mama but guess what his first word was: I was lucky to catch it! He was repeating it after me over and over again but when I picked up the camera the first time this is what he did: I gave it one more shot and was able to get it. Yay! If he's anything like Reese, he'll make me wait it out before he says "Mama". She said about 20 words before she decided to throw me a bone. The weather here has been amazing. I have been taking full advantage of it by taking a nice long walk after getting Reese off to school. It's been fun to see how far I can get before the school bus catches up to us. I love seeing all of the kids wave as they pass by. I can only see Reese's eyes and the top of her head....she's so tiny! The kids are all loving the weather, too. Yesterday reminded me why I love the suburban life so much. This is a picture taken in our back yard after school: At one point there were 12 back there.....and they were all getting along and playing nicely. Shocker! We are so blessed. Beyond blessed, actually. It's been such a rough couple of years but we are so grateful for what we have and for our home and neighborhood. This is definitely where we're meant to be. Home sweet home. Thanks for reading.
