Meet the Familia

I thought, perhaps I should introduce the characters that will be talked about on this blog!

Welp, I'm Sarah. Let's start at the beginning but make it brief! Grew up in a small town here in CA lived next to almost all my family, majority of them were on my street. Italian/Portuguese/Basque/Scottish/ and American Indian make up my mutt of a DNA strand.  Stayed in this town till I graduated high school, moved to Santa Barbara for school, did some traveling, and met the first man i've ever loved-RYAN! We got married when I was 21 moved around..and 1 1/2 years later found out we were expecting our son, Curren. Moved BACK to that small town...back to the exact house I grew up in to make it even more interesting, and now my family has monopolized this street and we are all over it! 2 weeks after Curren turned 1 we found out Finley was on the way! I am on a wait list for a Nursing Program here, and as long as I stop popping out babies I will hopefully graduate in a few years, right now my focus is my kids and spending the few short years I have them at home, with them.  Here we are living our small town life, and trying to keep our passions alive.
I LOVE
being a stay at home mom
gardening
going on dates with my RYNITO
socializing
finding great textiles for my home
researching everything baby/toddler
cloth diapers
breastfeeding
pretty much sums me up.





                                                

Curren James Urbain...oh Curren Curren Curren. My boy, he is a character. Almost always laughing, climbing, running, jumping..non stop! We joke he is probably just a blur to Finley cause he is never sitting still! He just brings so much happiness to us and we are always cracking up at him. He is very loving, and if others are sad, he is sad...he can't stand even handle when characters on cartoons are upset, he will cry with them, which I find very sweet.  He has that stubbornness that Ryan and I have, and can give me a run for my money sometimes, but no one has a deeper love for him than we do, we'd do anything for him and Fin in a second. As i'm sure most of you moms feel you would do for your babies. Curren loves all food, esp spicy things. He asks to go to the beach on the daily, he is a really good athlete, even now he's super coordinated, and is very much a mama's boy. (which i secretly LOVE) hehe

Finley Sage Marie is our little doll, she's new to the fam so we're still getting to know her a bit :) so far, she is an angel she is the happiest baby i've probably ever met, and she just goes with the flow. I take her everywhere...partly because she DENIED the bottle hardcore..so when she's hungry i'm all she's got..but also because she is just happy to be doing anything with me, and I'm happy to have her with me! She sleeps through the night, and has been since week 4, lights up at Curren and cracks up at Giggs, melts Ryan's heart and my attention is hers.

Ryan is my husband, and is the most hardworking man I know, he will hold down 3 jobs if he has to, to provide for us. He is an amazing man, and an even more amazing Father. I knew he would be great with kids, but really...above and beyond what any wife could ever hope for. He is so into our kids, and wanting to do the best for them, and give them so many experiences. Ryan and I are very similar in personality, we butt heads hard sometimes, and we are both so stubborn so when we fight we fight hard, but when we love we love hard too! I think in the back of our minds we know right now(...two small kids...tight money...trying to buy a house....) is lots of stress, but we're keeping our eye on the prize of growing our family and one day traveling all over again and just enjoying each other and our family more, when things calm down. Ryan's a studly surfer, and can excel at any sport he tries his hand at. He teaches at a local high school and is very passionate about it, the students love him and the parents love him even more, he's doing big things at that school and they are very happy to have him..and we are so happy he is there! He also coaches soccer and loves to play guitar when the kids aren't climbing all over him

Giggs Bartholomew Cornelius. Our first baby, got Giggs when we got married, he was our child..and poor guy has been slowly pushed down the totem poll with each kid. He still sleeps with us, and gets walks, and we try to take him on our hikes and beach days. He's a great dog, cleans up under the high chair which is GREAT, slightly neurotic and gets very nervous..which goes with the Boston territory.  He was never protective, until we had kids, anyone at the door he will now bark, and when on walks if someone gets close to the kids he gets in between then, and we appreciate his loyalty very much. He's so good with the kids and Curren loves him to death, they seriously play all the time, it's great.

I'm new to blogging and old to facebook so thanks for reading!
