The Family Redmond: We are BACK BABY!

After over a year away I've decided to start blogging again. We have lots going on and Facebook can't take the place of this online journal. I wont even try to update on the last year (I can barley remember what happened this morning) But we have had an eventful summer so I'll start there!

June-

We celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday. Oh my goodness. Charlie is just the sweetest little boy. He LOVES his sister and wants to do whatever she does. Luckily she is very accommodating. He started preschool and is doing so well. He loves being around big kids and has so many words. He is a very active little man, running, jumping and dancing all around. He has some great moves!!!

June also marked Lilly's first long stretch away from us. She spent a week with her cousins at their summer church camp called Breakaway! She had such a great time!!!! She was a wonderful girl and made lifelong memories....I think this will become an annual thing! We also got to enjoy our little guy alone. But our house was very lonely with our our Lilly Pie and I was MORE than ready for her to come home.

July-

July was a busy one! Jeff and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary! I do love that man. Lilly had the honor of being the flower girl in my cousin Seth's wedding. It was beautiful and magical and we were so happy to be a part of it. We also celebrated Lillians 5th birthday! Since the wedding fell near her birthday we made a big trip out of it. Driving up to humboldt and spending some great time with Papa and grandma! We went to the beach and the park and just enjoyed our family. As a grand finale birthday celebration we went to SF for the day. What a wonderful day. We went to the warf, went on a boat, went to crissy field and finished the day at Bucca De Bippo with Nana, Aunt Angie, Abby, Auntie Mel, Uncle Gary, Sean and Maddi. We had such a great time!

August-

August is also a big month. Lillian started Kindergarten on the 15th! I only cried a little. She is so smart and LOVES school. We have met a few of the other families and are enjoying connecting in Burbank some more. She also started Soccer (it was a BIG week) it was a great first game and I think we are going to enjoy it. I'm officially a Soccer mom!!! I think a sticker for my mini van is in order. I'm really embracing this "suburban" life.

The rest of the year holds more fun and hopefully more travel (def more for daddy) I'm happy to be back and share our adventures with you!

enjoy some pics from the last couple months!
