Our family of 4...

We have been doing really well adjusting to being a family of 4. Austin was a little hesitant at first but he is a very helpful and loving big brother. He helps Mommy with bottles and always makes sure that Ally's swing is running at full speed. Ally is a very good baby and sleeping has been going surprisingly well. Life is good!

Look who is here!

Allyson Kay Hodkin was born at 9:18 PM on January 9th. She was born at exactly 38 weeks, the same as her big brother. She was 7lbs, 7oz and 20.5" long. She has dark hair and beautiful dark skin. She is a great baby and her big brother is warming up to her every day! We LOVE her very much!

Beep... Beep

Watch out everyone... Austin is on the loose in his car! He loves this little car that Grammy picked up for him last year... $5 well spent! He only knows how to go backwards though, so if anyone is interested in pushing a little boy around the yard for hours I am currently accepting ALL OFFERS! :)

Catching up...

Hello everyone... I'm really sorry for the long time between posts! I promise that we are starting to feel human again around our house and will be getting back on track with more frequent updates. We have had a very busy summer and I can't beleive i'ts August already! Austin is growing like a weed! He has 7 teeth now and is still a great eater. His newest craze is climbing like a monkey... he climbs on everything and has absolutely NO FEAR to jump off... usually head first. Austin still loves his daycare and has a few new friends that are younger than him now so he's not the baby anymore. I hope everyone is enjoying their summers... we are looking forward to more time outside and a few fun getaway's in the next few weeks!

We love summertime!

Summertime is so fun! We always start the day clean, but I think you can see why the bath water is pretty dirty by the end of the day! :)

I love the park...

It was so nice to have an early spring this year and Austin LOVES being outside... everything about it, but especially parks. The favorites are swings, slides, and sandboxes! :)

My Little Boy... Is One.

I got to spend all day with my little peanut today on his first birthday... I'm so glad it fell on the weekend so we could hang out together. I just can't believe he is one... time goes so fast and he has grown up in a blink of an eye. Austin is the light of our lives and I just can't imagine the past year without him. Looking forward to the next year and many many many years ahead watching him grow up!
