At the beginning of summer it seemed like school was a LOOOOOOG way off. I wasn’t sure how we would survive the summer with 10 kids, 3 two and under who can’t swim, and a full calendar. I’m happy to say all 10 survived, however I almost did not 🙂 Now everyone is excited about a new school year, catching up with friends and I am so ready to return to a routine….oh how I love a routine!
I can not believe I have a Senior!!! Oh how quickly time passes. I still remember what we both wore the day she started Kindergarten. It seems just like yesterday. I’m having a hard time knowing that this time next year she will be gone 🙁 College plans are still undecided but schools are being considered all the way from Wheatonin Chicago to right down the street in Auburn and several in between. Praying she will have a peace about the perfect place the Lord has prepared for her. Enjoy your SENIOR year sweet girl!


She is the big dog of elementary school now and in a new addition addition to school so she is loving the new 5th grade wing and rotating to 3 different classes/teachers. This girl goes from a girlie girl to wanting to play football in the snap of a finger. She loves life and always makes it interesting! Keep smiling my wildly wonderful daughter!
Sam Bam is one tough cookie. He had surgery to but fat in a cleft in his uvula and a nose/lip revision about a week before school started. He never took an bit of pain medicine once out of recovery and never skipped a beat. He amazes me with his resilience and I am so blessed to be his mom! Have a wonderful year brave boy!
This boy is expanding his interests. He is playing football for the first time, addicted to skateboarding and playing his new guitar. He loves life, wants to know every detail of what is happening at all times and loves being a caretaker. Such a sweet, funny and predictable personality. He’s inherited some of my OCD tendencies and it always provides comedic relief. I love you precious one!
