My Little Fish

I forgot I had these pictures. For the first time in 8 years, we finally don't have to be in the pool right next to our kids every second. We are still close by and watching, but not an arms length away. I've actually taken them to the pool and didn't even have to get in. It has been soooo nice! They took 4 weeks of swim lessons this summer and have all done really well! They have no fear, Acel is even diving off the high dive. Everybody else has jumped off the high dive.

Another School Year Begins!

Well, today was the first day of school! Everyone was so excited! Julien told me if I missed him, I could go play in his room, but just make sure I put everything up when I was done playing. Julien is in Kindergarten, Isabel is in first grade, Acel is in third grade, and Meah is in fourth grade. They will all be at the same school this year. As you can see everybody got new haircuts for school. Isabel loves having short hair, because she hates putting her hair up. Meah, who said she would never have short hair again, after having a shaved head in China, decided that not pulling your hair up everday didn't seem like such a bad idea. After she saw how cute short hair could be on Isa, she wanted hers cut, too. They all look super cute!

Two More Days!

I can't believe that in two more days school starts! We have had a great summer basically doing nothing. Here are a few pictures of our summer fun.


The kids attended VBS and had a great time!


Who doesn't enjoy playing in the fountains!



Visiting Clifford at Crown Center. Make note Acel was definitely not there. He is definitely too old to have his picture taken with a Big Red Dog!



Loving on Daddy!



Visiting Union Station.



Enjoying a beautiful day at Legends shopping for new school shoes! Thanks Grandma Vickie!



Playing a little t-ball!

Coming soon...First Day of School Pictures with some really cute new haircuts!

Where does the time go?

It goes by so fast. I think I'm getting a little stressed because my sweet baby boy is going to Kindergarten, which means all the little folks at this house will be in school this year. How did that happen? This is one of the drawbacks of having all your children within 4 years. They all leave at the same time. Last weekend, we were at mass and Julien fell asleep on my lap literally 10 seconds after we set in the pew and I really couldn't remember the last time he had done that, but I set and held him tight thinking this could be the last time this little man sleeps on my lap. How sad is that?
