Emily age 3 (first dance recital)
My baby’s growing up! Today I’m thinking back to a March that resembled this March- we had snow a the beginning of the month, and then beautiful flowers (I’m hoping that they will come soon.) It was eleven years ago when my first child came to be with us (in true character, four weeks late!) I can remember looking at her for the first time thinking “She has an old soul, so intelligent!” She has brightened my life in so many ways, and taught me so many things (patience, I’m still working on.) Her endless creativity always amazes me. I feel so fortunate to be her mother and share a special part of her life. I can’t believe it’s been eleven years already…

This is my first time attempting to blog- Here we go!
I really love my cousin Kelly’s blog, so I thought I might
give it a go. I used to journal and scrapbook but when you
have three kids (two under the age of 6) your time is
greatly limited!
We have had an extremely busy, but fun holiday season thus far.
Emily was in the Nutcracker with Ballet Arkansas, and we had
practices, shows etc. I am head room mom for both
Em and Max’s classes, so there were parties to plan and execute..
Then, Jac’s birthday is Christmas eve, and we had the usual Christmas
dinner here with a smaller group than usual (14) but still lots of cooking
and such. It was all fun but it’s nice to relax this week (raking, doing laundry,
hmmmmm…)
I really miss having the kids home though, and it is fun to see them playing
again. I think that has been the hardest part for me sending them to school this year.
We were so fortunate to have had them all home together for so long. If we don’t
find a middle school we like it could be we homeschool next year. Only time will tell!
Now for cocoa and jammies!
