Been a While : Part 3/3

Been a While Part I (the quarantine)
Been a While Part II (we start seeing the world a bit)

This is part III of our series- Basically what life looks like now. :)

CHILDHOOD. <3

It was a goooooood day when these little labels arrived for my Huck and Ollie products! Especially since it was just a couple of weeks since our Huck passed- I’m so happy to have this daily reminder of him when I sew! :)

Always the best little product tester! :)

Now that my Huck and Ollie orders have slowed a bit, maybe it’s time Ollie starts his own side hustle: He’ll dress himself and come pretend to mow your lawn for $20. Any takers??

I cannot. <3

His only constant weekly play date this summer: Ollie’s ever-patient survival swim coach, Jojo! <3

Best thing to happen in 2020? My amazing in-laws moved to Orlando. They’re a 6 minute drive from our home and my heart is so full knowing Ollie gets to grow up with doting grandparents just down the road. And we’ve gotten to see the most amazing sunsets from their backyard!

Ollie’s first play date with someone under 20 since February! We were THRILLED when his cousins came to visit last month!!!

Seriously- Can you tell he was happy to be around kids again?!?!?

Nate and I flew to Ohio for Lauren and Craig’s wedding looking baller!

Aside from proximity to us, Ollie’s most excited for Pooh and YaYa’s move because it means we have 5 amazing aunts and uncles constantly visiting!

Pooh sporting his birthday gift from Ollie: matching hats for their boat days! :)

Post-boat birthday cake! Ollie picked it out along with some additional presents (highlighters and applesauce!), and was more than happy to help with the candles!

Ok ok- As excited as Ollie is to have Pooh and YaYa close, I think I’m even more so. To have our parents just down the street for the good days, the bad days, the “can I drop him off I just need an hour of silence” days. Their pantry is full of *our* favorite food, Ollie has his own room set up (and a secret clubhouse under the stairs!) and three adults always at his beck and call. We parented for 3 years without this security blanket and I’ll never, ever take this support for granted. <3

Soooo that’s our little life update!! It’s been a crazy year for sure and I’m a little nauceous to think of what 2021 could have in store, but if you’ve followed along, thank you and I love you!! :)
