2 months, school, and an update

School is back in session (Yay!!) and both big girls are back to the routine. And now, that we are creeping into fall I realize its probably time for a family update.

Baylie: Baylie is now in 1st grade! Its amazing to me that she's now in real grades that dont start with letters. She's loving school and her new teacher. Thankfully we have the same aid that she had last year and she's in a class with a few of the students that were in her class last year as well. Its made the transition much easier for her. Currently she's fighting the "start of school cold". Daisy brought it home last week and promptly shared it with her sisters. Baylie has it worst of all of them though, so she got a free pass to stay home yesterday and rest. We are hoping for a really awesome school year this year!

Daisy: Daisy is in her last year of preschool at the Center. She really loves it. So much so, that yesterday when I went to pick her up she was crying because she didnt want to leave. I am excited for her to have her last year and graduate this spring. She brought home the cold last week, was sick for about 2 days with the sniffles and a slight cough and now shes pretty much healed up. So unfair that she gets everything 1/2 of what everyone else gets. lol.

Pepper: Pepper is a sweet beautiful amazing child with a naughty streak as big as a house. She loves ticking off playing with her sisters, and loves her baby brother a lot. She's very smart and has recently started counting. So far she's got to 5. I can't wait for her to start preschool next spring and to watch her bloom, as I'm sure she will. She got 2 new molars in this last week, so she's been a bit on the grumpy side, but she's starting to come back around now that they've broken the surface.

Weston: Weston is now 2 months old!!! I keep telling him to slow down but he just wont listen to me. "Little" man is about 24 inches long and 16ish pound. We had to buy him a new car seat a couple weeks back because he'd out grown the first one. He gets stronger every day and is an amzing sleeper at night. He is deffinately a joy in our lives. I told James that it was a good thing Weston was the last baby and not the first, otherwise I would have wanted a whole baseball team of them! lol.

James: James is still working for L&H. He really enjoys working for them. He no longer puts in the Megadoors (unless they are short handed), instead he now works for the oil field crew. He loves it out there :). Today is his company picnic, and I am hoping Baylie feels well enough that we can go. Recently, he under went a little operation to ensure that Weston is indeed our last child. I say thats fair since I pushed out 4 babies and have gone through 2 surgeries as a result of my close pregnancies. He's an amazing husband and father. I couldnt ask for a better life partner than him!

Me: I'm doing well. Still feeling a bit on the tired side, dispite having a good sleeper. Its taken me about a week to find a routine that worked for all of us where school was concerned. I am working through ways of trying to save us money now that all those doctor bills have come in from having Weston. I am looking to homemade freezer meals, homemade snacks, and trying my hand at homemade laundry soap as well. Learning to go back in time is harder than it sounds, but its something I need to learn for the financial well being of our family.

That's about all for now.
