New Year, New Adventures Ahead

Well, its obvious by my giant gap in posts that I went back to work. The past several moths have flown by at an alarming rate. Work has been challenging, but I have been so fortunate to be able to work from home and its been so helpful having Jason home too.

After a roller coaster of events at work, it turns out we will be relocating to Austin, TX. So the Villoria Family is taking the show back on the road. This is met with mixed emotions. Hopeful for our future there, but also sad to leave the home we've built in Reno and the winters and mountains here we've enjoyed so much. We have only a month left before we leave. Strange that Arbor is close to the same age as Weston was when we relocated to Nevada.

These past 5 months:

We finished our backyard!

It took a long time, but it turned out so great and we used it so much. From running through the sprinklers, to dinners outside, and just hours and hours of outdoor time. We would have loved to see the trees mature and go through all of the seasons.

Hudson started First Grade

Hudson has really excelled in first grade. He loves his teacher and has learned SO much. He takes the bus to and from school everyday which has been really cool too.

Weston had his tonsils out

This was tough, but Weston did SO great! He didn't fuss or cry when they took him back for his surgery. His breathing at night is so much better and we are so glad we did it, even though it was hard.

Halloween

Halloween, with trick or treating and all. In THIS year of madness, Halloween was a treat. A night of normal kid tradition, and the kids had so much fun.

Arbor's First Snow Day

Such a good snow day. Maybe 5 or 6 inches. The boys played outside for hours until they were too numb and wet to keep going.

Christmas

Santa brought a Nintendo

The past 3 months have gone by too fast, as I knew they would. This was a tough week, as today is my last day of maternity leave. As I try and mentally prep for going back to work on Monday, I can't help but wish I could go back to the day I brought her home and do these past 3 months all over again. I have loved these months with her. She is such a fun, sweet, good baby. I will miss our days together, bonding time and lack of agenda. This week has weighed heavy on my heart.

Just before she turned 2 months we took a family trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I did my first solo plane flight with all 3 kids, and it went great, pandemic and all! The kids, Otis and I spent 2 weeks there from Father's Day to 4th of July. It was a lovely break for all of us. The boys made a trip down to Grandma Janine's and spent a day at the Wild Animal Park. All three kids and I spent a day in Carlsbad visiting the old neighborhood and friends. Both Spencer and Katelynn were able to make trips up to do a pool day at my parents. It was 2 weeks filled with lots of pool time, rest, fun time with the neighbors and friends, late night puzzles, and fireworks to end the trip. Arbor and I headed back for a week to ourselves and the boys stayed in CA for an extra week.
