Back to school and back to being busy!

As soon as I think we are going to get into a more normal and not so crazy schedule, things pile up and we are back to being busy. The summer was busy but this is a different kind of busy...between school, activities, marathon training, etc...we are just so busy but I can't complain because it is all good stuff!

 

 

The kids have been back to school for awhile now (since August 11th) and it is hard to believe that the end of 1st quarter is tomorrow...they are 1/4 of the way through the school year. How can that be???

 

 

Back to school pic.....

Lucas 2nd grade

Addison 3rd grade

They are both loving school and love their teachers! I can't ask for anything more!

 

 

 

We went to the Ozarks for labor day weekend (like usual) and had a great time. One last long weekend of fun to end the summer. 

Lucas' baseball team played their first season of fall ball. It was a quick 6 game season and the improvements the boys have made since the start of spring ball till the end of fall ball was really amazing.

 

Lucas makes a really cute catcher. ;)

 

We are already in the middle of soccer season for both the kids. Their teams have both improved so much and they have won or tied every game so far (knock on wood). A lot of our weekends are being spent at the soccer fields and I wouldn't have it any other way!

 



 

Addison turned 9!!!!! I wanted to cry when she turned 9 because 9 just seems so old but I have finally accepted it....10 is going to be tough on me!!!

 

 

We celebrated with a big slumber party bash with 15 of her closest friends. Some might think I am CRAZY to have that many girls but these girls are all so sweet. No one spilled anything or got sick...so the party was a success!

We are always doing so much with and for the kids all the time (like most parents). It was nice to get dressed up a few weeks ago and go out for a dinner for Bob's work. 

 

 

Things might slow down soon but I am not holding my breath. I am running my 4th marathon in just 3 days. Bob is busy with work and traveling a bit this month. I am coaching Girls on the Run (such a great and fun program), volunteering in the kids classrooms, and working 10-15 hours per week. Lucas is going to start indoor soccer soon and Addison is going to give Basketball a try.

We are busy...but good!!!
