Then and Now: Growing Friends

A couple of days old compared to over 850 days old...

Then and Now: Same Place + 29 Years

Addie - 2 Years Old - Kiddie Park - Only Yellow Boat - 2010

Megan - 2 Years Old - Kiddie Park - Only Yellow Boat - 1981

Then and Now

Carter - 3 months exactly

Just 41 months later and a little bit more "core" strength...

Then and Now

Addie at 15 months - First trip to Port Aransas.

Addie at 27 months on her third visit to Port Aransas.

Then and Now

August 2009 - Girls were 15 months old fascinated by a new thing called a water fountain.

August 2010 - The girls are 27 months old and even more engrossed by it.

Then and Now

With the thousands of outfits Addie has, I don't know why I get such a KICK out of purposely holding on to certain outfits just to see her in them much later on. This was a 6-12 month old shirt that I knew would fit her this summer, 15 months later at 27 months!

Then and Now

July 2009 - Addie 14 months old and Carter 2.5 years old.

Just 1 year and 10 days later, same place. Addie just over 2 and Carter 3.5 years old...

Then and Now

Beach - A Year Ago and Now
I love reflecting how how much my babies change in just a year's time. It is simply amazing yet bittersweet. Being back at the same place allows me to compare and it makes it quite fun. Here are a few of my favorites...

The main reason this trip was so incredible was it was just so laid back and easy... simple and fun... 2 things I want to get back to more with my family.

Tons of good ol' sand castle building.

We would even do "dinner time" snacks on the beach just to be able... 

...to have later dinners in the front yard...  

As Type A and planned as I am in 80 percent of my life, these are the laid back and impromptu coastal weekend memories I had growing up and I want to make sure that I am giving them to Carter and Addie. 

 

We will be back soon. :)

What Goes Up, Must Come Down...

Just a mere 16 months ago, Santa brought Carter this goal....

Over the last 6 months and thousands of hours of use, we have been fighting gravity...

So Carter earned some money by doing chores around the house and pooled some of his Easter money from Mema and borrowed $20 bucks from us to purchase a new goal on-line!

So not to worry.... the 4 hour a day practices can continue in the Brown house!
