I know, who can believe that I actually am writing a post? It's only been what, 7 months since my last? Wonders never cease!
Life has been busy as usual. The kids are wrapping up their summer vacation and will start school on the 18th of this month. That is hard to believe, summer has gone by really fast! Casey will start junior high, he will be in the 7th grade. I can see the teenage years flying at me and it scares me to death! I'm not quite sure what to do with a teenager but I guess I'll learn! He is already 2 inches taller than me! He is currently begging me each day for a cell phone of his very own. His argument is that "mom, everyone except me has their own". I so remember using that argument about things I wanted when I was his age.... some things never die!
Brady will have a birthday next week. He will turn 11 and is going into the 5th grade. This year Brady had to get braces. He picked red and blue, Patriot colors. He is already anxious to have them off, but will have to wait another year and half. He hasn't done much with his summer and I'm thinking he is ready for school to start so he has something to keep him busy!
Kaitlyn is 7 and keeps busy playing with sister. She loves barbies, baby dolls and stuffed animals. She keeps busy the entire day playing with one or the other. She will be in the 2nd grade and is terribly excited to start school! She loves it! She is counting down the days till she can go!
Miah , my baby, is 5 and starts kindergarten this fall. It is so bitter-sweet. I want her home with me but at the same time I love watching her grow and learn. She is a sweetie pie who can make us all laugh! She to is looking forward to school! I just may shed a tear or two come that day. I know she will love it, like her sister does though!
I have started babysitting my little great nephew, Tyler. He is so sweet and I love having him around! He fits right in and is so loved by his great aunt and his cousins! They think the world of him and all are anxious to help me out with him. They love to feed him, talk to him, lay by him on the floor, and play with him. They have gotten some pretty big grins out of him and that makes their day! We love having the little guy stay with us during the day!
So...that i what is going on in my life these day...who knows when my next post will be!
