Back to school again? Already!!!

I can not believe we go back to school this week!  I am not ready, really I would be good with another month or two of summer.  I like having the kids home,the relatively calm, the relaxed schedule!  Ugh the schedule. I need to get on Cozi and up date the calendar.

Today I am going to visit an old friend and am so excited to see her.  Before and after the kids and I will make a few last minute stops for binders, backpacks for the girls, a ceiling fan for Audrey & Emilys new room.

Yikes, back to the grind stone already.

Where have we been....

I was reading on a friends blog today about something going on in her life and how she wasn't sure she should share but she decided she wanted to go back and see all the events and times in her life, good or bad.  It really makes me sad to think that the last year I haven't been very good about recording what our family is up to.  Not that we are just sitting around, honestly it is far from that. More often than not I feel like we are so busy that we are all just trying to keep our head above water.

First let me share this!

Charlie is now 11!  He is getting ready to go into 6th grade. I can't believe this is going to be his last year in elementary school and we will have a teenager in the house before we know it.  We just finished up a great baseball season.  He became an ace 1st baseman this year.  John coached his team, the Mets and they won our league's major division championship.  This meant that we moved on to TOC's and Charlie got to play at Rotary Park where John grew up playing.  TOC's ran straight into All Stars where the boys did great.  They didn't win it all but we won a few games through out the tournament

Annie is now 9!  She is getting ready for 4th grade.  She had a busy year with piano lessons, soccer, basketball right into softball then  All Stars for her also.  She is growing up into such a beautiful young lady.  

Audrey is now 6 and just finished Kindergarten.  She amazes us daily with how smart she is!  She started tennis this spring and seems to really love it. She is just super quirky and funny.

.

That leaves us with Ms. Emily.  Our baby is now 3 1/2 and I am not sure exactly how to put it other than she is giving us a run for our money.  She is spunky, crazy, sweet, funny, strong willed, a spitfire and a sweetheart all rolled into a cute little package.  She did a 8 week preschool class this spring and loved it. She can't wait for fall til she can go all year.  

So there you go. In a nut shell where we are!  I won't bore you with the details like today Annie had 2 teeth pulled (she get's 2 more out next week) and when we came home from the 8:30 am dentist appointment there was water dripping onto my kitchen table directly below our master bath!  See life is always happening! But maybe if I jot them down someday they will seem funny and we will fondly remember when....
