Summer is almost over...

With the kids back in school and me back to work, we are still used to our new schedule.  Emma now gets up an hour earlier and walks to her bus stop by herself (me watching from the garage).  Ethan is also getting up a little earlier but both are doing well.  Now I am still sleepy but will work it out.

Emma also has dance 3-4 nights a week and Ethan is starting soccer and he will have soccer games 2 days a week.  So now I am the Mommy cab running from dance studio to soccer game and making sure we eat and homework is done.  Crazy stuff but my kids love it!

We celebrated Buckeye's 2nd birthday at the beginning of the month with some special toys.  I know it is silly but the kids are in love with him!  Now that Emma is 11, she is more moody and emotional.  Buckeye will climb on her bed and she can pet him and it makes her feel better!  He also sleeps with Ethan at night and he loves to cuddle!

This past weekend, Emma and her studio performed their previous year's dances for Mid-Ohio Food Bank in Grove City, OH and a festival in Sunbury on the same day!  Here are some collages...

Summer Vacation & School Starts!

The summer seemed to fly by so quickly.  Maybe due to we were so busy having fun!  I love being home with my kiddos and enjoy every second of their summer!

The last week of July we took a vacation to HHI, SC which is our favorite place.  Emma and Ethan have a blast their and request to go their each year.  We also celebrated Ethan's 7th birthday at the beach!  Here are some pictures of our fun time...

Then last week school started for the kids and work for me!  Emma is in 6th grade middle school and Ethan in 2nd grade.  Both love school and Emma is really enjoying middle school.  Hoping for a great school year!
