Feb. 2009 Update

Okay so it has been a very long time since I have blogged. I have too busy following other peoples blogs, dealing with sickie kids since before Christmas, and all the other day to day calls of duty for a Mommy.

So here is an update on "The Moore's"...

Ryan is 30 months old now. He is doing SO good with his speech.

His teacher, Holly, comes to the house 2X a week to work with him

on his speech. She is amazing. Jesse and I are actually hearing

Ryan attempt sentences. It's so awesome. And just so you can all say "I told you so" I have officially entered the phase of "will he ever stop talking?" He just talks and talks and talks. Most of the time only Jesse and I know what he is saying but he's getting there! He thoroughly enjoys being with his daddy and, you'd never know it by watching the way he treats her, but he doesn't really know what to do with himself when Raegan is napping. He misses her when she not there but he's not very nice to her when

she is. They have a very love/hate relationship ;)

Raegan is 15 months old now. She is SO busy & the one I have a

hard time keeping up with. She is into everything, climbs

everything & intentionally falls down, she constantly has has

bruises and bumps and is my little Energizer bunny! As we speak she is carrying her baby's stroller (which is as big as her) across the room vs. pushing and with out a struggle. She is such a good girl though. She loves being with her family and especially loves

cuddling with mommy and daddy at the end of the day. She still is

tries to interact with Ryan and play with him but he is still not all

the fond of her. She is constantly getting pushed & pinched but is

still a trooper and keeps trying. He'll come around Raegan!

Then theres Jesse and I. We are both doing great! We just took our first trip alone together since before we had Ryan, over 3 years ago. It was AMAZING! We went up to Big Bear and stayed at a friends house, he was out of town. We ate out, relaxed, played in the snow, watched movies and enjoyed our time alone. It was

very cold, the first night it was 17 degrees at 9pm. We had to have

a fire going constantly because he only has a space heater in his

house. But it is a small place so it didn't take long to heat it up. The

following day we went and played in the snow. Just up the street

theres were all these hills we went sledding down. It was so gorgeous. Powder white snow and beautiful pine trees everywhere. I loved every moment of it. Our second night there it snowed...just amazing! I had never seen snow fall. It was just beautiful! I did not know that when snow falls, no matter how big it is, it actually looks like snow flakes. I could not stop staring at it. Then the next morning it was time to go home. I was excited to see the kids, scared to drive home in the snow, and sad to leave all at the same time. It was an amazing trip and I can not wait to do that again.
