Catching up

I keep waiting for normal to set in so I can do all the things I am behind on.

I'm starting to see that THIS is my new normal.

I'm not sure how I am feeling about it.  

I don't thrive on crazy.  

I'm working on finding some more peace.

School and sports are in full swing.

Big sis is loving the 6th grade school.

She has swim team practice 4 times a week.

She is part of a middle school small group through our church.

All of this equals BUSY!

Middle Sis enjoys 3rd grade so far.

She is taking gymnastics this year.

She has stepped up as my helper since Big Sis is busier!

Little Man's start of Kindergarten had it's up and downs.  

He has finally fell into the new routine and is doing great.

He is playing soccer this fall.

He has improved by leaps and bounds.

He actually knows there is other players other than himself on the team this time.

Baby Girl is great.  Beautiful.  and. Fun!

She enjoys life without her siblings which surprises me. 

I thought she would be a little lost.

She is still a peanut.

I actually still have her in her carrier and she is almost 17 months old.

She has started this very annoying scream when I don't know what she wants.

I hope she starts talking SOON! 

She is almost perfect....

Except...

She has been pooping in the tub EVERY time we give her a bath.

GROSS!

I missed out on blogging so many wonderful summer memories.  

That is b/c most of the summer stunk.  

But....there were a few good times.....

I tried to make the summer educational.  I only succeeded for one week :)

Little Man and Middle Sister were on summer swim team.

 That got us up and to practice at 7:15 each weekday morning.

(Well....we skipped several Fridays.)

It was another HOT one!

I fell in love with these...

One of my besties got hitched!

Wednesday nights were family nights at church.

So fun!

 I had a few dates with my favorite pre-teen and a boatload with my #1 man!

(I took full advantage of having one of our favorite sitters home from college.)

So...it wasn't so bad.  I bet it would have been AWESOME if we were not so sick.
