Life Lately — naturally rocio

So June came and went faster than I could blink, not literally, but it went really fast. Nonetheless, June was a super busy-crazy-exciting month for us. Lots of new exciting things happened in June which resulted in a summer of big changes for our family.

Xander started the infant program at our local Montessori on June 1st. He was extremely excited to start until he realized Mami and Daddy were leaving him there. It was a rough start-- but with time, he adjusted quite well.

My Mami, Xander's Abuy, went back home in the middle of June, after spending a few months we us. It's always great having mom around-- she really spoils us with love and amazing food. The photo below was taken at the Mother's Day brunch I hosted.

Look at that face... so much personality for such a tiny person.

In June, Allan was recruited to join the legal team of company. He explored the opportunity, interviewed for the job, was offered the job and so we decided to seriously consider it. Did I mentioned the job was in Minnesota? Yup!! So, up to Minnesota we drove, to explore the area and determine if this would be a good move for our family.

After much consideration and weighting pros and cons, we decided to take a leap, accept the job, and move to Austin, MN. I fell in love with the birch tree pictured below and decided to take a family photo without knowing this would be our first family photo at our soon-to-be home.

And if this much excitement wasn't enough, we culminated June by visiting family in Massachusetts. Our godson/nephew, Dash, turned two on June 29th and we wanted to be part of this special occasion.

We had an amazing time in Mass and it was awesome to see Dash and Xander interact + play together. We visited the beach towns of Gloucester + Lockport, and soaked up the sun at Crane Beach.
