Life Lately

The Sasses are getting ready for SUMMER!!

The weather here has been blah! I can't even tell you how many times it's rained in the past month and if I really think about it, I think it's rained more than it's been sunny. The saying "April showers bring May flowers" isn't right. It's more like "May showers bring June flowers". Uhhhh....can you say global warming? Moving on....

The school year for Kamryn is winding down. I just got a little note yesterday that she won't be having anymore homework for the year (YIPPEE!!), she has a field trip to the zoo next week, field day is coming up, end of the year parties...all that good stuff! This afternoon Mike and I are going to her school to attend her class Animal Museum. Can't wait! Kamryn has grown so much this year and is maturing right before my eyes. I am so proud of the sweet, kind, caring, happy little big girl that she is.

I can't believe Kamryn is about to be in the 2nd grade. Time is just flying by! I have a really hard time with my kids getting older. I never wish away the days, I never want them to grow, I really truly wish they could be babies forever. (Probably why I have so many kids and would have another in a heartbeat) If not babies, at least little kids. I am loving this season of my life. It's hard most days and I lose my patience more than I'd like to admit but when I put my head on my pillow at night I realize I am truly the happiest I've ever been. Life isn't perfect, it's far from it actually. I have more stress than EVER but deep down in my core I'm so SO happy. 

Logan is getting ready for kindergarten. I got another notice from the school with all our important dates coming up, including kinder orientation in August. I can hardly believe it! Logan in KINDERGARTEN. As you may or may not know, we didn't do preschool with Logan. There are a lot of reasons why but leading up to this Spring I wasn't sure if he would be ready to attend kindergarten in the Fall. I told myself we would register him and see how he did at his screening. If he didn't do well at his screening we would pull him out. Well, guys he rocked his screening. Not a single critique from the woman who tested him. I quickly realized I wasn't giving Logan enough credit. It was all my MY head. Don't we do that as moms more than we'd like to admit? I was being overprotective and not seeing how ready he really is. I'm hopeful he'll get in the groove of a school routine rather quickly. Logan is a really smart kid and sucks up all the knowledge you throw at him like a sponge. He's going to do great! And hey, if he doesn't he'll just do kindergarten twice....no harm in that. Ready or not (I'm not) kindergarten here we come!!

Uncle Zacky graduated with his Associates Degree from Bay State College. One degree down two more to go! He's got so much on his plate already and took on yet another challenge. We are so proud of him!! 

I've really got to start taking more pictures. That's what writing this post has taught me. That, and I need a new phone. The camera is lacking...something!

Kensington and Tenley are growing SO fast. They really are best little friends and it is so much fun to watch them together. I just pray their relationship continues to grow and they are always just as close as they are now. Two of my favorite times of the day are nap time and bed time. Just listening to those giggles coming from their room is THE BEST!! Mike and I know this is only the beginning we have many many years ahead of hearing giggles coming from that room. That makes my heart so happy!!

Lex had her prom and as you can see she looked absolutely gorgeous! She had a great time. Isn't her dress AH-MAY-ZING?!?!?!

Mom came home to visit, too. We didn't get too much time together but the time we did get was great! We miss our Mimi and can't wait until she can come visit again.

Well, that's life lately. Happy happy Thursday to you!!
