We have been busy busy busy at our house! It is starting to slow down a bit, but then the holidays are upon us! So what have we been up to? Well, when my kids are busy that makes me busy! So Tyler has been busy with marching band, swim team, piano lessons, friends, refereeing soccer, and church. Marching band is over, but he will continue with the swim team until this spring. He leaves for school before 7am and comes home for a few minutes after school, then heads to swimming practice from 3:30-5:30 everyday except Tuesdays. That is piano day. Tyler and Nick have also joined the choir at church. They practice every Sunday after church. Nick has been busy with piano lessons, football, and church. Football is over and they had a great season!
Except for the few referees that made some pretty bad calls! But Nick loves football so nothing will keep him from his passion! He could play one more year with the YAFL league, but I think he's leaning more towards playing for his middle school. Jayden has been busy with just being Jayden! He keeps me on my toes all the time! Never a dull moment with him! He is very active and thinks he can get into everything! His brothers are learning to keep their things picked up or else Jayden will get it. He is trying to speak a little more and on his progress report, he has met all his goals for speech except one! And the one they said he didn't meet, he does at home, just not at school. Jayden is going to start receiving extra speech outside of school. So that will make for a more busier day for me! He is loving preschool this year! His teachers/team at school keep telling me how much he's come along. (Now if only I could get him interested in potty training......) Sean has been busy with work. Seems like he works so much and is hardly ever home. But I'm grateful he has a job. As for me, I just try to manage the household and the kids! We still toss around the idea of getting a bigger/newer house, but seems like it's not the right time. Someday maybe! Here are some pictures of our last few months:
