Summer is almost over- WHEW! It has been absolutely crazy around here. Trying to entertain three little ones made for long days full of laughs and energy.
Kaylie has lost a total of three teeth so far... two more to follow soon. She has become quite the fashionista- trying to make her own little fancy outfits out of everything in her closet/dresser. Kaylie has been a wonderful helper playing teacher with Makenzie. Her reading skills have continued to grow. First grade starts August 10th! She will be attending a brand new charter school where uniforms are required-YAY!
Makenzie grew a full inch this summer! She and Kaylie now wear the same clothes. Makenzie loves to sing anything, ANYWHERE! Her favorite time during the day is when she gets to play on the computer- amazing how much a three year old knows. She has also become very picky about her hair, always wanting to do it on her own. We're looking forward to having special learning time once Kaylie goes back to school.
Dannen is one growing baby boy! We're amazed at his strong desire to do everything but be on his tummy. His jumperoo should have flown apart by now with how much he jumps all the time. He learned how to sit on his own, up to a good 15 minutes unassisted. Dannen's laughs ring throughout the apartment especially when the girls get him going. He's definitely a "mama's boy" <3
William has been very hard at work. It's been a full month on the 1st of August that his theatre has been up and running. With 50-60 hours/week, he breathes his job! We're so proud of everything he's accomplished. It's been wonderful bringing the kids to see Daddy at work... hard to tell who's smile is bigger:)
William took a few days and recently flew to Texas. Two days later, he's back with his Mom, Carol. They packed everything up, stored a bunch, and brought the rest here for Carol to live with us. The girls are ecstatic! We've been very anxious to finally get her to Florida. She brought along her cat, Spook. What a cutie! Poor cat has been fidgeted over so much already:p I was very happy to organize and rearrange everything to make sure everyone was to be comfy and enjoying their own spaces... The girls have their own room still, decked out with all of their toys now. Dannen is back in his own room (we brought him back into ours when his monitor broke, and never moved him back LOL) He looks so grown up in by himself! Carol has one of the two master bedroom/bathroom combos. We're back to OUR bedroom- YAY!
I've been enjoying motherhood:) Seeing my kids grow each day, helping them learn, and keeping our place together is very rewarding. It's been a big change with not seeing William a lot, but WELL worth it. I'm excited about getting to help Kaylie with 1st grade. Makenzie is a little sponge, so I'm itching to get learning projects started. Dannen will be mobile soon, so this Mama is gearing up for some fun! With the six-month mark coming soon of having Dannen, I'm planning my exercise routine/weight loss program. Can't wait to get back to "normal"... hoped to be there already, but life happens:)
