I know, I know, it's been months since I blogged. But, It's been a very busy few months. David and Lena are both starting new chapters in their lives. David has graduated from preschool and will start Kindergarten and Lena will also be graduating from 6th grade next week and moving on to Junior High both start their new lives in July. They really are growing right before my eyes! Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday both of them were just babies who needed their mommy every minute of the day. I know I have a tendency to get caught up in the day to day stuff. The daily chores and work seem to take up my days. This past month I have tried to slow down and take a few minutes just to apreciate my kiddos. I am trying to listen to Lena's stories and ideas without interupting her with my perspective. 
I am trying to give little 5 minute nonjudemental talks about puberty and what to expect and what I went through at her age. For David, tee ball was a gift! Thanks Vero!!! He now knows kids in his kinder class and is ok with the change. We also are fortunate that he has scheduled play dates with his old friends so he doesn't feel too sad about not seeing them everyday. So, at the end of my blog to sum up...my kids are fine! and I AM A MESS!!! Growing up sucks!Hugs and Raspberries!

Awe... look at those beautiful graduates. So proud. I know how hard it is to have your children grow up before your eyes and not be able to stop it no matter how hard you try. Just the other day (during Abe's game) I was reminded (by David) how nice it is to have a little boy sit on your lap, cuddle up to you and actually enjoy the hug. Abraham is so over his mommy hugs.
ReplyDeleteAnd Lena... what can I say about THE most polite child I have EVER met! You should be so proud, she is an amazing friend. Listening to the advice she was giving Andrea about the coming year was.... ugh, i feel like I am about to cry. No more mushy stuff. Just know I am extremely grateful to have your children, you and your hubby in our lives. Congratulations!
Love you guys!
You made me cry!! Thank you! I still worry if I'm raising good kids, it's so nice to hear from an amazing mom that I'm doing ok. And any question you have about doing an amazing job should have been laid to rest the minute David announced that he had decided you were his new mommy! He has great taste!(: We are so lucky to have you and your family in our lives even if you did school me in the zumba class! See you tonight!
