Been a While : Part 3/3

November 1, 2020 by Jensey 2 Comments

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!! :)

Jamie + Lauren : 2020 Cousin Visit!

April 17, 2020 by Jensey 1 Comment

When my cousin Lauren emailed about planning a surprise Orlando trip for Jamie’s birthday, it felt like she was giving *us* a present! We counted down the days and minutes with Ollie. Five minutes in to their trip and it was alllllll about Uncle Jamie and “Uncle Lauren.” <3 It’s been two months since their trip and they’re still in his daily conversations! :)

When I decided to make an effort to share more personal photos this year, these guys were a major part of that decision. They’re AMAZING wedding photographers in San Francisco, which meant we used their visit as an excuse to sneak in some cute family photos of US! Not only are Jamie and Lauren talented, but like Nate, they’re catnip to kids, which meant we even got family photos of Ollie laughing! Co-operating! Who would have thought! <3

Kicking things off with our goodbye cousin selfie, because ummmmm look at Ollie please and thank you.

Jamie hadn’t been to the parks in over a decade and it was Lauren’s first visit! It was amazing to experience it through their eyes! (Lauren actually gasped when she saw Cinderella Castle and it gave me goosebumps!!)

We told him we were going to see Anna and Elsa so he chose his fancy outfit, bow tie and all. <3

Being a *little* shy after bringing his girls chocolate! :)

Talking their ear off about it being Uncle Jamie’s birthday and we made brownies and sang happy birthday and he’s over there and has brown eyes and Olaf is not here and where is he and he’s gonna come through this door right now and what’s Sven doin’, and… and! He’d talk to them forever if we let him (from a safe distance, of course.)

I get pooped after social situations too, dude.

He could honestly pass for theirs and it makes me so so happy. <3

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. <3

Me : Hey, Ollie- who do you think you wanna ride Dumbo with? Me and Papa or-

Ollie : UNCLE LAUREN AND UNCLE JAMIE. I RIDE WITH UNCLE LAUREN AND UNCLE JAMIE PLEASE MAMA.

We had a surprise run in happy visit with Alexis and Miranda!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3 <3 <3

Parade Ollie is a liiiiiittle shy but alllllll about forcing Animal to high-five and say hello to everyone! <3

Absolutely exhausted from smiling and waving and I’m here for it!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Also please take note at the difference in my son’s facial expressions between this photo and the one of him with US below, lol!

Uncle Jamie and Uncle Lauren, we’re counting the days until our next visit!!!!! <3
