Letting Go

Yes, I too sent my first off to school for the first time. I knew it would be hard for me and it really was. On Friday August 28th, Lindsey had her first day of school. The night before we put her clothes out so in the morning she got dressed and was stoked to head off to school. She was so excited and looked so adorable. I took her to her class. She was a little nervous but by the end of the day when I picked her up she had so much to talk about. She loves the songs and the activities they play and her best friend is in the same class which makes the day a ton better! I did cry...but not until I got back in the car. Liv told me that she would miss Lindsey and she did! She would ask when we pick Lindsey up and things like that. My visiting teacher came and brought her kids so that helped both Liv and me make it through the day. I watched the clock tick till it was time to pick her up. Lindsey is so kind and smart and even though she's ready for school...I wouldn't mind keeping her around a little longer. She's such a big help and a great friend. I feel for working mothers who have to send all their kids off to daycare and preschool all day, everyday. Sending one off for me is hard enough! It's always been our family tradition, as well as Jaime's family, to take their picture on the first day of school. So here's my big girl...ready to face the world....so it seems to me. :)



Liv needed to have her picture taken on Lindsey's first day of school as well. She already talks about when she goes to kindergarten. I tell her not until she's five...and I have no trouble keeping her here until then. :) She's helped me a lot since Linds has been gone. We cope with missing Lindsey together.

    Lindsay looked so cute on her first day! :) I loved that Livy had to have her picture too, it reminded me so much of Alex. He did the same thing that day, "I want a picture too mom!" It HAS been good to have that one on one time with our younger ones, definitely needed. It IS comforting to know that they ARE in good hands. :)

    She's so cute! That's nice that her and Cami get to be in the same class. It makes things not so scary when you have someone there you know. You're cute for getting so emotional about the whole thing. It's just crazy how fast this is all happening! They're growing up!

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
