It's Been Awhile

I am really behind on my blogging once again. I had uploaded a bunch of photos but hadn't finished the post & lost them all and I hadn't got back to it. Where has the summer gone? The last post was Calleigh's birthday & that was at the end of May. Now it is the end of summer. Wow. Time flies!

 Here are just a few pictures of our every day life. The twins & Calleigh now share a room. It was a smooth transition. They all go to bed well & sleep well except for this one day. The twins played in their room for their entire nap. The room was clean before nap time. The picture below shows Calleigh's displeasure with the mess.

Calleigh will be starting kindergarten in just over a week. This picture was taken at her kindergarten orientation. She is Miss Bossy(to put it nicely 'she has great leadership qualities') We are trying to work on being more kind. She plays well with others as long as she can be boss.

These 2 are quite the pair. This is what they did while the rest of us played mini golf.

Micah was in a soccer tournament in Melfort in June. He really excels at soccer & he had an excellent coach. He told us that Micah has so much skill & he really worked with Micah.

Miss Leah

Micah is a good big brother to Lauryn & Leah. Last Sunday at church, Lauryn had a nap on Micah's lap. I wish I had a picture of that.

The kids & I sang at Love Gospel Jamboree this year. I was hoping to post a few videos but the files are too big.

Once again we went to red Deer for our summer holidays. The boys just took it all in & loved every minute of it. They went around & talked to the singers & got their signatures. Here they are with Jim Brady of the Booth Brothers.

And the girls with Olivia Collingsworth. Calleigh adores her.

What else is happening? 

Starting on Monday I will be starting full time child care in our home. This will be a huge change for all of us. I am up for the challenge and am really looking forward to it. I am needing more structure & routine & just need to be spending more time with our children. It seems that having more children here would mean that I will be spending less time with my own children but that is not the case. Sadly, the kids & I often do our own things(me cleaning & the kids playing) but with this I will be focused on the kids 100% & spending much more time with our children.

I hope to keep you updated more regularily. Most of you keep up to date on Facebook. I need reminders to update the blog.

Hope you had a great summer. Keep in touch...
