So where we are now... a quick update

It is late Saturday night... the house is finally quite after a long day. With school starting in only 2 days, I am looking forward to the change that is headed our way.

Jacob ~ 8 years old and starting 3rd grade... yea, I know! 3rd grade! It really hit me when I was reading the old posts tonight and saw the first day of school pictures from two years ago. I blinked and here we are. I think this is the first year where I can see he is nervous to go back. He has some friends in his class this year, which I am grateful for.

Paige ~ almost 6 and starting 1st grade. This means I am going to have 2 kids gone all day. I think I am going to go through some kind of shock on the first day. What do I do with myself? She is soo excited. She got the same first grade teacher (Mrs. Jensen) that Jacob had... and we LOVED her! She also had the same Kindergarten teacher he had too. Paige is growing and changing so much. Suddenly her interests have changed and she wants purses and makeup. Really? Already? Slow down sister!

Kallie ~ just turned 3 and starting preschool !!! :)  Love her to death, but this girl keeps me going. She is one that can smile and trap you with her charm while doing the opposite of what you say. She is so excited to start school. She asks everyday if she can go, while looking up at me with her backpack in hand. I am looking forward to the next year and all the time we are going to spend together while the others are in school.

Neil is still working in corrections. He was promoted to Sargent a little over a year ago. He is excellent at his job and I am proud of him and all he has accomplished. 

We recently bought a RV camping trailer. Never thought that would be me... but we have really enjoyed it this summer. Posts to follow soon about our summer adventures.

This summer has been fun for us. Neil's scheduale is great for traveling and taking quick trips. We are now looking forward to ending our summer fun with a trip to Disneyland in 3 weeks!!
