I cannot believe it is already May 28th. This school year has absolutely flown by. It's just wild to me that Kamryn is already finishing up her freshman year of high school. Next year will be Logan's last year of middle school; Kensington's last year of elementary school and Smith will be starting kindergarten!! WHAT?! We have just a few weeks of school left. All the schools get out different days this year which is new for us. Kamryn will get out Monday the 16th, Logan on that Tuesday and finally Kensington and Tenley on Wednesday. We are really looking forward to a packed summer ahead of us! I love having all the kids home with me and we've got a lot of fun stuff planned.
This school year was a big one for us. First year with a high school kid and the first year I had 4 kids at 3 different schools at 3 different start times. It made for really busy (and early) mornings but once we got into the groove, I really enjoyed it. I really stressed over this leading up to it, but it was a lot easier than I anticipated. Most days it did feel like I already lived a full day by the time I waved goodbye to Kensington and Tenley as their bus pulled away but I'm a morning person through and through so truly I do like the hustle and bustle of our school mornings. Although I am looking forward to sleeping in past 5:30, not going to lie. 6:30 will do.
Archie is 10 months old and is officially crawling on all fours (before he was army crawling for a while), pulling up to stand and slowly starting to cruise around. He's very cautious and taking his time, which mama is thankful for. He is VERY vocal all of the sudden and starting to babble back to us when we talk to him. I love this stage. Archie absolutely thinks he is making sense, and it just cracks us up. Aside from the babble he says "Dada, Mama and Bubba" and those two stubborn bottom teeth are JUST about to pop through. I cannot believe they haven't yet. The poor kid!! He is truly the happiest, most chill, easy going baby. He takes one, sometimes two, really good nap during the day and sleeps at night from 7:30pm to 7:30am. He loves food and his appetite has really picked up lately. He was very picky with puree's when we first started them and now there's not much he refuses. We all just love him so much!!
We've been counting down the days to the last day of school on our calendar for the last couple of weeks and we are ready. Mike will be opening the pool this week and we'll just impatiently be waiting for it to be officially summer, now that the weather has seemed to catch up. I cannot believe last week we had the heat on!! Gotta love New England!
Well, there's a random assortment of what we've got going on. I'm really trying to get on here more. But we have been so incredible busy! I feel like that's all I say. With the end of the school year craziness (I swear my parents weren't THIS busy when I was in school), Mike seeing a bazillion drs and going to PT and OT for his work accident (yes, we are still dealing with the aftermath of that) and just being a mom to 6 kids I cannot catch my breath. I don't know that our calendar has ever looked so full. Fingers crossed when the kids get out of school things will slow down just a little bit I'll find the time to blog more.
Okay, I'm off..... Have the best day!!
xoxo,
Kristen
