So my last post was in may....it was my return....not. Since then I have packed up a house, rented a house, moved my family, become a transportations system, started school(s) for kids and managed to do it all with flair. Why, because that's how I roll. We have been so busy that I looked forward to today for the last two weeks. Saturday is special because C is working, there is no school, and there is no scheduled running for the day. It is 11am and I am still in jammies. Might just stay this way and save on laundry. That's my contribution to going green.
I dont know where to start.
Dani is in 7th grade this year and she has fallen right in stop with homeschool. She is taking more core classes at MCP this year thus freeing up some time at home. She has also started volleyball with a public middle school and is loving it. I went to a game last week and it was so neat to see her in her element. She was confident and sure of herself. So much more than I was at her age.
Allison has a teacher this year that Dani did not and we are loving her. Allison too seems to be gaining confidence in her reading and math as this teacher is incredibly complimentary and is great to build Allison up. She is not involved in sports right now as I am not sure I could handle anything else transportation wise.
Leilani is an real-life Fancy Nancy. She has read and memorized every book we own and everytime we go to the library you better believe that at least one Fancy Nancy book will be coming home with her. She prefers to wear a dress everyday and is often put out when I force her to wear plain tights or leggings.
Charlee, my baby, is walking. She is very girly too. Makes sense. She often drapes wii controllers around her wrist or a phone charger around the back of her neck as if trying to accesorize. Last night she was complete with a purse. It was so cute to see her toddling down the hall with her little purse in the crook of her arm. Be still my heart. I am weaning the cute little monkey. It may be silly but this is a really difficult emotional thing for me. Knowing that this is the last baby I will nurse is sad and gratifying. With a weaned baby comes freedom, YES!
I have an end date (for nursing) of 9/28 as I will be out of town without her next weekend. I had a scheduling conflict with the womens retreat that my church is putting on. After the life-changing week at Camp Spalding ( I will do a seperate post on that) I started looking into their womens retreat. As it turns out, next weekend it is and I will be babyless and sleeping on my stomach for the first time in almost two years. Im super excited.
