Summer Time :)

It's officially summer! 

Of course since I'm working summer is not as exciting as it is when I have free time but I'm excited! We spent Friday  afternoon in our back yard playing in the sandbox and kiddie pool.

Mav loved the sandbox! Of course he did sample a few bites of sand but he actually was playing in it too. 

And since I am working I want to make the most out of my time off. There were so many things I wanted to so last year and never did because I kept putting them off. 

This year I have made a summer bucket list :) I'm sharing it with you so that maybe it will inspire you to so the same and make the most of summer! 

Our list this year so far includes:

Zoo trip

Splash pad 

Marine Land 

Bonfire 

Beach day

Picnic 

Berry picking 

Mini golf 

Catch fireflies 

I plan on adding more just looking for ideas. If anyone has fun plans please share :) 

The name game

So seeing as how I am with child naturally the topic of names has come up. Hubby and I occasionally will bring a new name up for suggestion and hmm and hahh about it until we decide one of us hates it. 

MV was not named until he was born, we had a small list of contenders but the final decision was made when he was in hubby's arms. 

Now if he had of been a girl, well girls names are easy. We have a name waiting for our potential future daughter should she ever arrive. 

So our girl name starts with a "M", and there's a chance no matter the gender this baby will be another MV by initials. Which has had me thinking about how I refer to MV on here. I have always known I wanted to keep his actual name private. His pictures posted and available in googles search engine is enough. 

So seeing as how we like the M names I have decided to add another one of his initials into his "blog name". So rather than MV, now Mav. No need to capitalize it all I don't think. This way should this next baby or any potential future babies share the same first initial I don't have to change everyone down the road. 

And now that is settled I need a baby name book! 

Welcome to the family

Yesterday we welcomed a new family member. She is super sweet and I can't wait to snuggle her again. Hopefully once she is settled at home with her parents and brother we will go over for a visit next week. Everyone is eager to meet her. 

She felt so tiny and perfect in my arms and made me even more excited to be expanding our family again in a few short months. ❤❤ 

He doesn't understand it yet but MV will be really excited too. 

Two under two... The thought terrifies me but that's a post for another day ;)
