I'm Back!!

My computer has been down for FOREVER!! Even the last couple of blog posts were done from my mom's computer, So what's it been...6 months?? I kept thinking all summer, "oooh, i should put this on my blog", but couldn't. Now that I'm back on here I don't even know where I would start. We had a fun summer. We did a lot of camping, LiviJ turned 7, Peanut turned 2, and so much more. Maybe I'll sporatically post fun things from this summer.

Kids are doing well. The older 2 are back in school full time. LiviJ was excited about it, Minime was not so much. Just a difference in personalities. Minime is the "domesticated" one. She doesn't care so much about book learning. She'd rather be at home mothering her little sisters, bake, cook, etc. But now that they're back in the routine, it's not so bad.

Bman started preschool this year and likes it. I had a hard time sending him. He's my buddy and I was just not ready to see him leave me. After I picked him up from his first day he sat in the car and said, "Mom, things are going to start to change around here." I asked why and he said, "Cause I'm going to school now and I'm going to be learning things." I had to laugh. He also doesn't understand why they have to be in lines ALL the time. He's very restless during rest period and doesn't enjoy that at all. But, for the most part, I think he enjoys the rest of it.

Peanut is still hamming it up for me every day. I've really enjoyed having her alone on the days Bman goes to preschool. Just her and I (and the baby) alone in the house has not happened often in her lifetime and we are trying to make the most of that bonding time.

Baby K is almost 11 months old already! Where is the time going?? She waves bye bye, shakes her head 'no ', and already knows how to fight with Peanut. She's very easy going and will just sit and entertain herself for hours. Really, seriously, HOURS. She's so happy and an easy smiler and she's such a joy.

Anyway, I guess that's a quick 6 month update on life over here. Hope to be back sooner this time:)
