This weekend we added music to our home…ok, it’s not music yet, currently it’s a lot of noise from an old piano, but one day it will be beautiful music.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you take music lessons as a child?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our 8 year old casually mentioned wanting to play piano over the past few years, but it wasn’t something we pursued because it was always said in passing (and there are so many things he wants to do!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year though, his requests became more persistent. Additionally he’s been steadfast about schoolwork and is constantly seeking more responsibility, so it felt like the right time to open a new door for him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And through that door came a piano found locally on Facebook marketplace!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Are you more of a birthday party or birthday exper

Are you more of a birthday party or birthday experience person?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the unforeseen challenges of being a military family is that we often move to a new location just before birthday season begin for our family. This makes it a bit difficult when it comes to having a group of close friends or family who will come to a birthday party. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To avoid the potential of having a traumatic experience of a birthday party where no one comes, we created a family tradition of birthday trips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For us, this makes the last quarter of the year a bit hectic because the birthdays in our family fall end of September through December, but the memories and laughs we have together make it so worthwhile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, both boys initially wanted to do Disneyland & California Adventures for their birthdays in October and December. We set all the reservations and had a fabulous time for Hunter's birthday weekend in October. Then on the way home Mason decided that a Disneyland birthday isn't really what he wanted for turning 7. (Don't worry, everything was able to be changed without any loss since we can shift our tickets to another time in 2022!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would he rather do? Tour the USS Midway, of course! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My conversation with him went a lot like this: "Really? Are you sure? You'd rather go to see another military ship than go to Disney?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Him: "Yes, this isn't just any ship, Mom...it's an aircraft carrier. so PLANES and a SHIP!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So there you have it, folks. We regrouped and planned a day doing everything Mason wanted at the @ussmidwaymuseum in San Diego. They had a blast completing the personal audio tour and earning their wings in the Junior Pilot program. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When we PCSed this summer it was a bit chaotic (isn’t it always?!?) Our home on base wasn’t ready for 5 weeks after arriving in California.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That meant lots of itty bitty living space in hotels for what felt like forever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Packing for this time for the big kids was easy, but knowing what would entertain Abigail (who was 11m at the time) was more challenging.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was beyond grateful to have remembered to pack the @lovevery block set I had ordered right before we left. It was a lifesaver on keeping baby busy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My favorite part of this block set was how the boys (then ages 6 and 7) wanted to play alongside their little sister. Mason transformed the wooden box the blocks came in into a bus so Abby could drive her peg people around. Hunter would set up the long blocks like dominos and have Abigail. They would all build towns, towers and castles together. They would giggle together as they knocked them all over.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just swipe through these photos to see them in action!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sitting on top of unpleasant hotel carpet, there was so much joy found within the box of wooden Lovevery blocks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ll have a toddler during your next PCS and are looking for a quality toy to take along, I would totally recommend adding a set of Lovevery blocks to your packing list!

Home is where the Navy sends us, but I'm so glad that it often also happens to be to places that our friends vacation! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had a wonderful time recently getting to visit with @suzyq0903 and @im_62 while they were escaping the cold on a visit to California recently. While technology keeps us in touch weekly no matter the distance, we couldn't believe its been so long since we've caught up in-person that our kids had not yet met each other! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is a bit crazy how time flies. Who would have thought that sitting next to each other in a math classroom 1,900 miles away, twenty (plus) years ago would change our lives? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so truly thankful for our friendship that spans time and distance! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just a gentle reminder (for myself and maybe yourself too) that as I work toward where I want to be, it’s easier to get there through loving who I am and what I’m doing than through penalizing myself and negative self talk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s ok to set goals for the new year, because I am worth the work, but I won’t let goals distract me from how far I’ve already come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe I’m not where I want to be yet, but I have made progress because I’m here and still going and I will celebrate the small wins along the way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here’s to 2022. May this year be the year that we all become our own loudest cheerleader 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This was such a fun look back on everything our family did this year. In 12 months we’ve lived in three homes, moved on to two bases, travelled cross-country by car, also by plane, stayed in many hotels, explored new cities, toured several military ships and museums, spent countless hours playing outside, visited several theme parks on both coasts, and had such fun enjoying time together.!⁣
⁣⁣
I played this video for the kids and their response was “Wow! How did we fit all this in one year?!?” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Yup. I’m exhausted, but our hearts are full.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What a joy it is to have such great memories together! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We can’t wait to see what fun lies ahead in 2022!⁣⁣

Two photos just a year apart!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we were surprised in 2020 with a third baby we really weren’t sure how the boys would feel about having a little sister. (I mean truthfully I wasn’t sure how I was feeling about starting over…there were a lot of feelings!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But these boys rose to the occasion! They constantly try to include her in all the things and go out of their way to make sure she is smiling. They sneak her french fries, play alongside her with all the toys, share their interests with her, and love to make her laugh.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking at these two photos, it’s fun to see how much they’ve all changed in just a year, but what stands out most to me as a mom is what has stayed the same…both boys always wanting to be the one to hold their little sister in the photo 🤣

If you are stationed in Europe who see one of these ride-on Chicco Vespa toys in stores, please let me know! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our daughter fell in LOVE with this amazing little Vespa on our recent MSC cruise … and they don’t sell them on this side of the pond … and you can’t order them online from here 😭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@chicco.usa, American kids think @vespa scooters are cool too! (Just check any college campus!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@chicco_international please share the Vespa scooter love with your American friends! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
