May 3rd Brayden turned 4 years old. I can't believe he is already 4. It seems like just yesterday we brought his home from the hospital. Time sure does fly by!
May 3rd - May 10th - Steve and I decided to surprise Brayden and take him on a Disney Cruise for his 4th Birthday. We started planning it about 6 months in advance and kept it a secret until Friday, May 2nd after we picked him up for daycare. He was so excited when we told him about it that he was literally bouncing up and down. He was even more excited once we showed him the DVD that explained what the next 8 days and 7 nights would include. We flew out at 7am on Saturday, May 3rd. This was Brayden's first airplane ride, be he handled it really well. Once we got on the ship he was all smiles and had a great time. Our ship, the Disney Magic) went to Key West, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Castaway Cay. When the cruise was over he didn't want to go home (do you blame him???). We had a great time, just the three of us (Kyler spent the week with Grandma and Grandpa Grubaugh). We are already planning our next cruise for when Kyler is older.
June 20th - June 25th - We headed up to Interlochen, MI to camp for a long weekend and attend the wedding of Matt and Abbie Ansorge. The wedding was beautiful and it was a lot of fun catching up with friends. Camping was a lot of fun also. My (Sarah) parents brought up their 5th Wheel to the camp ground and we rented a cabin for the week. Steve's parents lived in the area, so they came over every morning and spent the day with us. It was so much fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves.
July 1st - Steve entered his 3rd year of his residency. Only 2 more years. I am so excited that we are 1/2 way through the residency. It has been a tough 2 years, but very rewarding for Steve. I am in awe of how much knowledge he has gained over the past 2 years. I am sooooo proud of him.
We've done a lot more than what I have mentioned, but just can't remember everything. We apologize for not updating more frequently. We will try harder!!!!
One last note. I haven't mentioned much about Kyler. He is doing great and is getting REALLY big. He is starting to look more like a little man and less like a toddler. The chubby cheeks are disappearing...but his chubby legs are still there ;) He is 19 months old and keeping us very busy. He is starting to talk more and running everywhere. He brings a lot of joy to our lives!
Take Care!
Sarah
