A new beginning...

Well--as usual it has been SUPER busy around our house lately!! But for now--RDC is getting his haircut, MWC is still at BeBe's after her "big girl" slumber party with BeBe, EJW and KayKay, and JDC is napping--so I have a few minutes to update everyone on what is going on in "our world". ***I should be getting dressed to take MWC swimming :). But anyway--the biggest thing around here is MWC starting to pre-school NEXT WEEK!!!! I have such mixed emotions!!! I can't believe my baby is big enough to start pre-school and that she will not be with me everyday all day. Now if you had asked me on some days---this day could not have come sooner :)--but on most days--I do not want her to go anywhere!! I love having her home with me and would not have traded these last 3 1/2 years for ANYTHING in the world!!! I did not realize until the other day why this was getting so hard for me...and then it hit me-----a season of our lives is coming to an end. The season where we are not dictated by a calendar that tells us "August is coming" and our pajama days of watching movies and snuggling on the couch or waking up and deciding to go have lunch with Daddy -that season is coming to an end. I know, I know that it is just pre-school and she is only going 2 mornings a week and if we want we can "skip" a day, but the fact is--our baby is OLD enough and is very close to starting REAL school.--where they might frown upon us having a pj day "just because!!" But it is time and she is MORE THAN READY!! She told me the other day, "mama, I want to sleep at my school." UMMMM---no thanks!! :) She is ready to take her "backpack and her lunch" as she tells me everyday!! At supper the other night we were discussing school and I told her the first day after I pick her up, that we were going to have lunch with Daddy, just her, me and Daddy and we could go ANYWHERE she wanted. She immediately said, "school!" UMMM no again.....:) I am picking you up at 11:30!!! I am sure we will do the lunch bunch thing lots--but not on the first day!!!! But that shows you how ready she is!!! And I am looking forward to some one on one time with JDC--I just hope that my "to do" list does not over shadow his time alone with me. It will be a new adventure for us having to be up and dressed and somewhere by 8:30 on a regular basis!!! Even though I am a little sad about my baby growing up, I am excited for her and the new things she will get to learn and do. So August 12th is the BIG day!! Again...it is coming faster than I ever imagined!!! **Sorry for the "rambling"--but I tend to "write like I talk" :)--Hopefully it all makes sense and you can follow it!! :)

My little sunshine then..........

My sweet sunshine now!!!!

I still need to update on JDC turning 4 months, eating cereal and family visits and.........lots of other stuff!!! :) So check back--but not today......I am going to get dressed to play with my babies!!!
