Well...I am torn about the idea that my little Samuel may go to "BIG" school next year. We have been holding out on making the decision and kept "junior kingergarten" as an option for placement. Lately he is becoming such a big boy I am thinking that if we hold him off it only delays the inevitable for me. Losing another kid! He is very excited and told me the other day he didn't want to go to "baby" school anymore and wanted to go to "big" school. Guess he is ready to test his wings. Don't know if momma bird is quite so ready. It took most of this year for me to adjust to the idea that Bubs was gone all day. Now I am going to have to try to get ready for this...guess I better buy lots of boxes of tissue.
My little Gracie is growing bigger by the day. She now puts on her pants by herself and refuses to have let me feed me her most days. She is such a girl girl with all her purses and shoes and pink but yet will jump on Daddy and try to wrestle him anytime she sees fit. Most folks think she rules the roost. I think there is a chance of that but I hope to keep her from being too spoiled. Her brothers adore her (most of the time) and little did I know how this little angel would "complete" our family.
Bubs has had some horrible allergies to all this pollen lately. His eyes almost swell shut and then he rubs his nose so hard he looks like Rudolph. Breaks my heart! But of course he is so tolerant you hardly see a complaint out of him. He is talking a little more. Every now and then he lets go and we hear a two word sentence. I love those times. Gives me faith again that God can always do what seems like an impossible task!
My beautiful family would not be complete without my wonderful husband. It will be his birthday this week. I can't think of anything better to celebrate. I thank God so many times for bringing him into my life. What in the world would I do without him as my other (better) half. I couldn't have asked for a better husband for my kids. I think he is better at this whole parenting thing than I am.
Well... that's it for now...more thoughts later (whenever I get a little time to myself!)
