Welcome to PK, 2nd, 3rd & 4th Grade

We were beyond thrilled when we saw which teachers our children were assigned to and who would be in their classes.  M was so worried about school that I had actually taken her to the Waldorf school I had worked at a decade ago and discussed having her go there instead.  But she was so happy she has her kindergarten teacher again and that there aren't certain boys in her class that she was thrilled to announce she would begin at the public school with all her siblings the next day.  K and D are both in the new addition but only D got the awesome windows.  K does have sky lights, which the teacher said were better than the old classrooms anyway.

My older 3 did really well the first week of school and it was the preschooler that I hadn't worrried about at all that gave me fits.  Same teachers, same room -- even the same layout -- but she was upset there were new children in her class.  There are 16 children instead of 12 and about 6 new children.  I literally had to carry her in and make her let go of me.  I seriously wonder if I will ever have this mom thing figured out some days.  But once the play dates started up again she was happier.  (:



This was a funny little project.  M wanted a picture of her with all the pets together for her bag of 3.  K and N had to be reinforcements with M's homework that day.  Lol.

Here's to PK, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Grade!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
