Warp Speed!





















Well, so much for my hopes of blogging daily....weekly....monthly. Looks more like quarterly with this crazy family of mine! So much has been going on that I just haven't kept up and this new blogging thing just got left, like a bunch of other things. So in the past 5 months here is what has been happening;
Life!


That is what has been happening to us.....trips to the dentist, garage sale, remodeling, moving around kid rooms, a trip to Florida, a trip up to the Lake, a waterpark weekend, and just plain old life. With my return to work, life has been a struggle for us daily. This has been a very difficult (and still is) adjustment period for all members of our family. But in these last couple months, there have been some really great times that we have had! I will post some pictures from the last couple months to give you a snapshot of the good times. I am THRILLED to death, that no one has documented the difficult/crazy/sleep deprived moments! Hopefully life will smooth out and it will be smooth sailing before long......one can only hope!
Tessy is growing, although not like a weed. She is our little peanut. At 4 months she weighed 11 pounds 15 oz. A little comparison here is that her brother and sister were 15-10 and 14-13 respectively at the same age. Tess is just the sweetest little peanut. Full of smiles and joy! She definitely has a strong opinion of how she likes thigs, but, if she is held she is content and full of smiles. Naps and sleeping are better. Sleeping through the night is something I only dream about. But, I know it will come at some point!
Mary can't wait to start preschool this fall. She just had VBS and LOVED it! So, we now cruise in our Swagger Wagon listening to the cd that has the music from the camp. Yes, we all sing along and even some do the had movements that she learned. Oh how I love this girly! Always dirty or finding the mess. She will not have any clothes to pass down to Tess except for playclothes. Hers are always wrecked. But, she is enjoying life and growing up so fast!
Today is Cale's last day of Kindergarten. How did this happen? I feel as though we just brought him home from the hospital yesterday. Where has the time gone? I tear up thinking about how he is about to launch into school forever and that we will only have summers and evenings with him. He is playing soccer and baseball and loves it! What a helper this boy has become, some days more than others. He has the most sensitive and generous heart (today he had to get a gift for his bus drive in addition to the teacher gift!) I miss my little buddy....but know that he must grow up. Check with me tomorrow or later and I will probably tell you it isn't happening fast enough!
So, we have had some amazing times and some not so great days. Sleep deprivation and change do that to a person. I am not perfect, and I do not strive to be. However, that being said, I do strive to be better each day and to do better. So, here goes. I will try to keep up with my blogging more often. And just maybe I will share it with a select few. Maybe. I need to think on that.
