this morning, chris took kira to register for 8th grade. her last year of middle school. in a few days, i register the boys for school.. cam will be in 5th-- his last year of elementary school. NU-UH! the year after that i will have a preschooler, an elementary schooler, a middle schooler, and NOOOO WAY a high schooler. eeeek. im so not ready.
last week we had a few visitors.. crew of the crew :)
the 2 littlest rascals refused to be in the picture. :(
anyways, school will be starting in a few weeks.. which will mean that my life will once again be ruled by the clock...constantly checking which child i will have to pick up next. as much as i long for long summer days, i do crave my schedule.
I totally feel your pain, Jaime!! My oldest just started 8th grade last week...EEEEK!! It feels just like yesterday that he was starting kindergarten and it's only one year until he is in High School...where does the time go? I'm also enjoying being back in the routine of school days and schedules. It makes life a little easier and it's nice to be able to count on certain things.
Enjoy your last few weeks of summer!

Jamie,
I know how you feel. Jake will be in middle school for one more year, Ben in elementary and Gabriel will be in pre-school. I never know which way I am going. I love it but I do love my lazy summers too...well I don't really think they are lazy but you know late nights and sleeping in rocks!!

I hope you are not offended by this but you and Chris look way too 'youthful' to have a teenager for a kid. You must both have good DNA to age so well or must eat your veggies or are drinking like 4 litres of water or something every day. Did you both secretly find the fountain of youth? Come on now-- spill your secret!
P.S. I would love some 'How to's ' on how you take such pretty pictures as well. I still struggle to try to venture off the 'auto' button on my camera cause I'm too scared otherwise. Maybe you could do a post one of these days on photos-- kind of like a really HUGE online class for all your adoring fans.....heheheh :)
