Loving My Kids











Madison has started Kindergarten and LOVES it. I really have no idea what happens in class when she goes. She tells me every day that she is the best in her class and gets to be in charge all the time. Either she is one amazing student or getting to be quite the story teller. I have loved watching her learn and become so independent.
Marli has had some adjustments to make. She has had a hard time with Lucas being born and Madison going to school. We are seeing just how sensitive she really is. After Madison is dropped off at school I tell her it's Marli time, and we try to do fun things.

Lucas is now 6 weeks old and is such an amazing baby. He is so mellow and easy. He lets me sleep most of the night and is content to lay in his swing during the day when I am busy. I am waiting for the smiling to start. Oh and his cheeks are so chubby now!

So, overall, things are going very well for us. I am getting pretty good at taking all 3 kids out with me during the day if I have to. We have had meltdowns at the store and lots of spitting up (from Lucas not me). It's reassuring for me to look over at other moms and see they are facing the same issues.

Life With Baby


Poor Lucas! Madison tries to dress him up. You can tell he doesn't like it. He doesn't stand a chance with 2 sisters.








I can't believe Lucas is already 3 1/2 weeks. He is such an amazing baby. He is so mellow and good. He sleeps most of the night now and he is more alert and awake in the day. The girls have adjusted pretty well to the addition to our family. I never would have thought that adding one more would be so much work. I have found I am constantly helping one kid. I am always tired, but it is so worth it.
Madison starts school in 2 days and is so excited. We got to meet her teacher last week and I know she will do amazing. We practice walking to her school at nights so she will be confident in going. I just can't believe I am old enough to have a child in school now. Marli wants to go with her so bad. Madison and Marli are such great friends, they are playing with each other all day so it will be sad for Marli when Madison is gone everyday.
Other than adjusting to life with a newborn, we are doing well. I am really glad it's September now and that Fall is around the corner.
Well I guess I should be glad I got 5 minutes to blog. Lucas is now fussing, Marli is wanting a snack and who knows what Madison is doing upstairs.
