Catching Up

I think this post will be a big blob of rambling because I have so much to catch up on. Let's see...a few weekends ago I traveled to Charleston with the 3 girls while John took Jack to Myrtle Beach for some boy time. We went home for Cousin Abby's 3rd birthday which was a princess themed day in the sun. Staci had lots of pools, slip-n-slides, and jump castles for the kids. Molly enjoyed running around with Abby (they LOVE each other) and the girls got some pool time in with Baby Lucy.

After that weekend, Aunt Staci came up with Max, Abby, and Lucy for the week to help me out. Staci was an ANGEL and watched all 7 kids for quite a good amount of time...XOXOXO! I think all of the kids really enjoyed themselves and everyone survived. When Staci left, Grammy and Grampy came for the weekend and watch the kids and cooked...YUMMY! I am so thankful for all of the wonderful help!!!!

What else...I started back to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at school. I am really excited to get back into the groove. Jack is getting ready to start kindergarten next week. He has met his teachers and many classmates already and he is very excited. He has Mrs. Mayo and Ms. Henning this year and I cannot be more excited. He goes in Monday for 1 hour and then his first full day is Thursday!! Molly will start preschool right after Labor Day so we are getting ready to be really busy!

Sophie and Macy have FINALLY started walking!!! They are absolutely precious. They are all over the place and into everything especially the china cabinet. I have figured out that Macy is my SWEET SWEET girl who likes to help me and Sophie is the bully (to her siblings) and my cuddle bug. Sophie has discovered that it is very effective to pull someones hair when they make her mad. They "talk" all the time and we have found that Macy sounds Chinese!

Speaking of Chinese...Jack has been a blast to see with the Olympics. He is so into them...especially the swimming and Michael Phelps. He will get out of bed at 11pm to come watch him swim. He said that he wants to swim like Phelps. I think the hook for Jack was when I told him that Phelps is the fastest swimmer in the world. Jack is VERY into speed!

One final funny...lately Jack has been sleeping in boxer shorts because he wanted to be like his daddy. He came in the house the other day and announced to me that he wanted to start sleeping naked! Well okay...I figured as long as he is comfortable. He went to bed that night in jammies. At about 5 am he crawled into bed with us and the only thing I noticed was that he felt kind of cold. John called me later (because I had left for work early) and told me that when he woke up, Jack was snuggled up to him naked! John asked him why and Jack just sleepily smiled and stretched and said, "That's what I do now Dad." Every night since then I have put him to bed in boxers and when I go to check on him they are on the floor beside the bed and he's sound asleep. Go figure!

I'll get some pix of the girls walking and post soon!

I Know... I Know!

I have so much to catch everyone up on and I promise I will do so VERY soon with lots of pictures! Just a HUGE THANK -YOU to my awesome big sister and my in-laws who were all extremely helpful to me in the last couple of weeks! I'll catch you up soon!!

Have a GREAT night!!!
