on your mark get set go!

What a busy week we have had!
pictures to come...
Well my 2 younger kiddos started school at a different Elementary school and it has been a very hard adjustment for my daughter. She is really struggling!! but J-man is really enjoying it. There are many familiar faces in his class from previous church wards and soccer teams. And he really likes his teacher. Little A. has just the opposite experience.

This past weekend Little A turned 7! this has been hard on me. I am very excited to watch her grow up and be who she is going to be but it is hard to think my wee sweet youngest baby is not a baby anymore. For her birthday, one of her grandmas took her to Build a bear workshop for the first time and both she and Grandma had a wonderful time. Then we had a small party with all the grandparents with cake and ice cream. then as a family we went to the local "fun" pool and spent a couple hours in good ol' fashioned splashy fun. D-man even jumped off the high platform at the diving pool. he almost backed out but he did it! Yay him!!

Last week also started a series of Dentist appointments for D-man. He is set to get his braces on most likely next week. We went to a new dentist and found out a lot about D-mans mouth and the Orthodontist seems extremely nice too. Here's to the next 20-24 months of metal mouth.

last week all 3 kiddos started swimming lessons after taking 3 years off. J-man really needs to get much better, because next summer he has to try to pass off his aquanaut swimming at webelos summer camp.

In a couple weeks J-man starts his fall soccer season and D-man starts tennis lessons and a math camp he was invited to attend because of his High math skill demonstrated last year.

In between all this I am trying to keep D-man entertained as he still has a month before he starts Jr. High (yikes) and trying to start preschool prep. I wish I was father in the preparations for school than I am but hey we have been having a great time being busy!
