Fabulous February!

I have seriously blinked and February is gone... we have been action packed at the Loeffler household. The girls are doing great and keeping us VERY busy! They are starting to play together more which really helps mommy out during the day. Reese is ALL over the place and loves to explore every inch of our house. She is great on her feet and loves to run everywhere she goes. Caroline is still loving school and ballet. She just started soccer, which her daddy loves. Steve is the coach of the "Fireflies" along with our friend, Brandon (Bryce's daddy). They had their first practice today and it was priceless! Their first game is this Saturday and funny enough Steve will be in Rockport for his bother's bachelor party and Brandon can't make the game either. SOOO.... Laney (Bryce's mom) and I are coaching the VERY FIRST game... won't I be a sight 6 months pregnant running on the field?? Oh, and neither of us know 1 thing about soccer except to run, kick and try to score. Should be comical! Valentine's day went great this year. Both girls worked hard making crafts and Caroline decorated our house. Reese loved painting! Caroline had a fun party at school and we spent the evening having dinner and playing. Reese got dressed up to attend her little friend, Kate's 1st birthday party. She loved wearing a ruffle skirt and loved playing with all the other kiddos. We also headed out to the Hear Museum and checked out all the cool dinosaurs with our good friends, the Weismanns. Caroline and Riley had a great time running around and getting out some of their energy. Fun day!




Steve had to go to Orlando for a few days for work, Disney is his client so Caroline and I happily tagged along. My AMAZING parents offered to keep Reese for us so that we could just take Caroline and spend some one on one time with her. Reese didn't miss a thing and LOVED every minute spending time with Grams and Grandad. Caroline had an awesome time swimming (a bit chilly), looking for every princess at Magic Kingdom, going to the parades, riding all the rides, shopping, and laughing!! She was such a trooper... we left early every morning and didn't get back to our room until 10:30-11:00 at night. She walked and walked all day. We were looking for a place to have dinner Saturday night while we were at Magic Kindgom and we were having no luck. We wanted to eat at a nicer place so we could sit and rest for a bit. I tried getting us reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table (dining with the princesses) but that place fills up 6-12 months in advance, not joking. I randomly had the idea to show up at the restaurant and just ask if they had any cancellations with my fingers crossed. Well, it was our lucky day! The hostess said "can ya'll eat now?" it was 4:50 and we said "ABSOLUTELY!" So, Caroline got to meet Cinderella, check out her castle, eat with Jasmine, Snow White, Ariell and Princess Aurora. Totally made her day... it is SO much fun to watch your 4 year old daughters face/eyes light up meeting those princesses. I'm so glad we got to take her and experience the magic Disney really does offer.

Catch up

So, I am really far behind and I know that. This past month has been a complete whirl wind and so action packed that every time I think I'm going to update our Blog, I find something to pick/clean up. So, here ya go.
We had a fabulous holiday!! We spent it with of our family and friends, nothing is better than that. Here's a quick re-cap... Grams and I took Caroline to see the Nutcracker Ballet, she liked it (it was really LONG and could have been an hour shorter), we had Christmas Eve at my parents house, Christmas morning was spent with two extremely excited girls, that afternoon was spent at my aunt and uncles house and Christmas evening was spent at my parents house. We even had a white Christmas... Caroline LOVED the snow. We went to our annual Gaylord Ice trip with the Glasco's. The girls' snow tubed, looked at the Madagascar themed ice sculptures (amazing) and had a wonderful lunch out. Reese got to enjoy a WARM fun morning with Grandad and Grams. We headed to San Antonio to celebrate Steve's birthday and Christmas with the Loeffler's. WE had a great time... Caroline and Reese have 6 cousins and another cousin on the way. Nana and PaPa had a house full. The kids had so much fun playing together and roasting marshmallows by the fire. We celebrated Steve's birthday in San Antonio. Nana and PaPa kept the girls so we could go out and celebrate with Mike, Krystal, Brad, Erika, Beau and Jessica. Great times! I am full force working and learning how to balance everyday life, the girls and teaching 10 classes a week BUT I am managing. I am so thankful to have family close by to bail me out when I'm nearly in tears or about to pull my hair out :0) We are so lucky to have such awesome girls'... they really are the best kids! Reese is walking ALL over the place and doesn't miss a thing. She is starting to become very vocal and knows what she wants. Caroline is growing up so fast... she just got an adorable haircut (that made her look 5 years older), she is loving ballet, school and cannot wait to play soccer in the Spring. The littlest baby "L" is growing and starting to kick more. I am now 24 weeks... where has the time gone? I go to the doctor every 4 weeks and have a sono at every appt now (which is totally fun). I have been told to take it easy and rest as much as possible (HA HA) due to my placenta partially covering my cervix (girl stuff). It's not a big deal and should move on it's own so I am just still trucking along. We are headed to Orlando for a few days. Steve is going to meet with his Disney client so Caroline and I are tagging along with him for a few days (Caroline is one lucky little girl, Disney twice in 6 months). My wonderful parents are keeping Reese.. she will be spoiled rotten and will spend the majority of the time chasing my parents cats and playing. So, that's our lives this past month.... LOVE IT and our girls! Here are some random pictures... I just noticed the pictures are really out of order but I'm too lazy to fix it (Gotta go watch Grey's Anatomy from last week).
