Somehow our little Alygator is 8 years old today! It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone already. Aly is growing to be such a beautiful young lady, both inside and out. We are so incredibly proud to be her parents!
Read MoreHow is our baby 7 years old?! That doesn’t even seem possible! Another year has flown by with Aly. We could not be more proud of the young lady she is becoming.
Read MoreAly & Fynn are getting ready to start school tomorrow (Fynn for the first time!), and I just wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on this past summer with them! It has had many challenges, but it has also been filled with lots of sweet memories!
Read Moreust wanted to write a little post all about our daughter Aly and what she’s up to these days…
Read MoreSo I never did get around to writing my July family update, so I'll do one post for July and August here now!
We spent the first part of July in Oklahoma. This was super relaxing, and it is always great to spend time with family! We got to set off fireworks, play in a pool, go to a jump space, do an escape room, go to a water park, and pedicures! I'd say it was a pretty great trip!
Once we were back from Oklahoma, we settled into our summer routine.
Read MoreJune was a fun and busy month for us! It's been an unusually hot June for New York, so we've mostly spent the month trying to stay cool! We went out to Long Island one day to visit family and take a quick trip to Robert Moses Beach. Gigi, Bop, Uncle Jason, & Aunt Lexxie came to visit us, and Aly had her dance recital and moving up ceremony! School ended on the 26th, and then we flew to OK the next day, where we still are! Time is flying by, and I'm grateful to spend it with lots of friends and family!
Read MoreMay was a fun-filled month! Most notably, we found out we are having another boy, and we decided on his name--Jackson Graham Arevalo. Aly got to go rock climbing, we visited grandparents in Long Island, we spent a day upstate, had a gender reveal party, everyone got a stomach bug, and we spent the weekend in Jersey for our 7th Annual Memorial Day Weekend. This has been such a fun tradition, getting to spend every year with some of our closest friends!
Read MoreI have clearly been slacking, so I am finally sitting down and writing a blog update for both March & April!
We started out March with a couple last days in Australia and then we slowly made our way back home. Once we got home, we were welcomed right back into a New York City winter, complete with a snow day to enjoy.
Read MoreFor this month's blog post, I am just going to write about our trip to Australia! It's fitting because as I sit here and write this blog post, I am still fighting off the extreme jetlag. So let me start at the beginning...
We started dreaming of Australia early last summer. I mentioned it to Ron at one point, and he just laughed at me. To which I responded, "Well, you're not saying no!" After that, we spent the summer working out the details to see if we really could make this dream a reality. Soon all the details fell into place, and there was no turning back--we were going to be taking 3 very small children halfway around the world.
Read MoreWe rung in the new year with our good friends, the Schmidts! It is always such a relaxing and refreshing time with them. The rest of the month has been busy with work and hanging with friends and family. Ron also started vlogging this month, and you can check out the first few episodes at the very bottom!
Read MoreI have combined the last two months' blog updates, because as you are well aware by now, the end of November was the hardest day of our life. So I am just now getting around to jotting down some updates for the last two months. Also, I should note that I accidentally deleted almost all of my November photos!
