Growing

Desmon hit the 3 month mark this week while Alivia is counting the days until she starts her second year of pre-school. We have all adjusted great with our newest family member (Alivia still a little more sensitive than normal but overall doing well). Our summer has been pretty busy - Twan and I busy working, as usual, Alivia has completed swimming lessons, taken a trip to Indiana with my mom for a family reunion, continued her gymnastics each week, gone to vacation bible school, and now is ready for school. Those of you without kids - let me be your warning of these school supply lists you have to buy for your children to show up with the first day of class. Wow - we need a small loan - clorox wipes, paper towels, germx, crayons, snacks, glue sticks, packing tape, ziploc bags, blah, blah, blah. And not to mention, you will be hit up with every fundraiser you can imagine almost every month they are in school. We are lucky that Alivia enjoys being there so much and has learned a lot in the last year - I'm sure we have another great school year ahead of us. Desmon is in full smiley stage - you just look at him most of the time and he has a full grin right back at you. He is making noises when he can get a word in with his big sister around. Hope you are having a great summer - I'll report back soon.

Here We Go

Ok, so really - I started a blog when we just had Alivia - those of you that visited know that I did not do too well at keeping it current. I will do my best to do better now that we have 2 kids. Here goes - Welcome to the blogspot for the Young family and mainly Alivia and Desmon. Here are some stats to keep you informed:

Alivia - Born November 30, 2004 - now 4 1/2 years old - has finished her first year of preschool, in which she loved - has now been taking gymnastics classes for 2 years - completed her first session of soccer this spring - loves to play outside, get dirty, splash in puddles, wrestle with the boys, just very active - loves her brother and is a great helper to mom and dad.

Desmon - Born May 4th, 2009 - now 2 1/2 months old - great baby, he might even be a better baby than Alivia and she was good, maybe other mothers will tell me because this is the second and I knew what to expect? - starting to make cooing sounds - follows Alivia around with his eyes where ever she is, he LOVES her - was 14 pounds at his 2 month check up, yes big!!
