I'm here

I've been the worst blogger lately. I do have a good excuse, we were out of town for a month. Flew with Poppy to Arizona for 10 days to enjoy some warm weather and meet up with family. It was the first time all my siblings have been together in years. Had a great time. Poppy was in absolute heaven having all the freedom she could dream of going from a tiny NY apartment in the middle of a crappy winter to tons of space, walks outside, cousins to play with, and alone time. She was a champ on the plane ride. I was terrified flying solo with her on a 5 hour flight at her age. The lady next to me thought I was crazy because every time she would start to fuss I would just shove candy in her mouth. Worked like a charm. She was on a major sugar high on the flight but when we started to land she had a melt down. Perfect timing though since we were landing. The people on the plane got lucky. Suckers.

I ate myself to death with mexican food. Every time I go home I can't help myself with it. We also blessed my new nephew and had a birthday party for Poppy. I can't believe she's 2!!

After having a great time in AZ we flew to UTah to meet up with Reyn and his family for 2 weeks. Had an amazing time catching up with friends and family. Since we don't live near either of our families, we can never get over how easy life is with all the help. And having a car...oh how nice that was. Poppy had some fun with more cousins and enjoyed looking at people other than us. It was good to be back in NY after a month away.

We came back at the perfect time because it's finally warming up. I've been taking Poppy to the park, enjoying getting out, and threw Reyn a birthday party last night for his big 37th. Old man.

I'm still getting a few rolls of film developed so don't have any pictures of our vacay yet but have some gems coming. Here is the only pic I have from my phone of us at the park last week when it was wicked warm. It looks like Poppy has a bird on her head. haha

More to come
