Oh Yeah, I Have a Blog ;)

Whenever someone asks me how we've been doing I say, "busy" and then realize, "oh wait... I'm always busy... and so is everyone else!" I've realized "busy" has become my new normal; it's just a matter of if I'm just busy or super busy ;) Anyways, I've been hustling about a little more lately so it's been hard finding a time to sit down and write a post. I normally schedule out time to do extra projects late at night after the kids go to bed. However, that time as been preoccupied with other things lately. For example, this:

Editing photos for the swim school's new website. Most of them aren't boring like this one but I'm assuming I'm not allowed to post pictures of our students' bright, shiny (and wet) faces on my personal blog ;)

But alas, I'm done editing (for now) and Andrew is in KY for almost a week so I have a tiny bit of spare time at night to write some posts. Here's a little snippet of what we've been up to:

We're getting ready for Augustine to start preschool. He'll be going to a in-home preschool with his best friend Eli. It'll be interesting adjusting to having a kid in school on a regular basis. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Good thing he'll only be going twice a week ;) Augustine will also be turning 3 at the end of this month so I need to get a move-on with planning his party!

Augustine's new backpack :)

Little Ella is hitting some new milestones. For example, her first set of pigtails:

Oh yeah, and she's also learning to wave, clap, and I got her to take a couple of steps the other day ;)

We've continued to have our girls' hang out on Friday mornings where us girls chat and our kids run a muck in my house. For almost a year now we've had 6-8 boys and only 1 girl over to play on Fridays. I think Ella is excited for her girlfriend, Audrey, to come home! A couple of us moms were laughing about starting to make blog posts dedicated to the shenanigans the boys get into while they are here. They're almost always up to something!

This is a small example of how the house looks after the little wolf pack of boys have ran through it ;)

The rest of this week is full with visiting my good friend Lauren up in Prescott, going to meetings for preschool, welcoming Andrew home (hopefully sometime Thursday) and then going to the cabin for the weekend.
