I recently decided to create a blog to document our everyday adventures with our babygirl, Reese Gabriella. I wish I started when she was first born, but my "spare time" was limited (or should I say non-existent), plus I just wanted to truly enjoy the first year with her.
So lets just catch up for a bit.....
Our family has been living in the DC area for a few years now. Reese is almost 17 months!!! (so cliche, but man, has time flown by). Reggie and I both work and we had to find someone to take care of Reese during the day. Fortunately we were able to find a really great auntie to watch her (thanks to a friend). We love spending our time learning new things with Reese and taking advantage of the numerous things this area has to offer! Reese has already been to a number of great museums, attended Obama's inauguration activities, cheered at multiple NBA games, seen cherry blossoms, etc. We are fortunate to live an area that has so much going on.
Its pretty much just us three everyday, and I can't complain much about that! Its been tough for Reggie and I not having our extended family closeby, nobody to watch her when we just want to have dinner or go to a movie.... I'm not sure when our last "date" was, definitely well over a year ago. We've gotten used to that and we've adjusted (kid friendly restaurants and dvd rentals). I guess its just tougher for Reesey cause she doesn't get to see her aunties and uncles a lot, or doesn't get to play with her cousins often, or doesn't get her time to get spoiled by her grandparents. Plus, the few times we do make it down to Virginia Beach, our time is EXTREMELY limited....trying to spend quality time with everyone has proven to be a huge challenge. This is the ultimate reason I created this blog, so our everyday adventures can be shared with our family and close friends.
Oh and another (minor) reason, I have yet to succumb to the peer pressues of creating a Facebook! So hopefully everyone that wants updated pictures of Reesey, our little peanut butter cup, can just visit this site.
i love it! can't wait to read what the heck reese is up to...even though i do see her regularly.. =)
