HELLO!!
Where did the last month go??! Sorry to leave you guys hanging. I just don’t have the time to keep up with this thing like I use to. We have been BUSY. Ryann has been home with us since late June. We just LOVE her being her! She is attending Aiden’s school while daddy and I are working. They are learning so much, both academically and socially. Adam and I are so happy with this school. Both kids have wonderful teachers and class mates.
As if work wasn’t keeping us busy, the kids’ academic, social and extra curricular calendars as well as Adam’s soccer schedule have us going non-stop! Not that we’re complaining, in fact we LOVE that they are involved in so much! Both kids have homework that has to be done during the week, and then there is soccer practice, gymnastics, soccer games, reading school, birthday parties… the list goes on. This is the parent I always wanted to be! We are so blessed!
Speaking of birthday parties…. Ryann turned SIX, yeah you read that right; six on the 13th. We had a surprise party for her on Saturday. If there ever was a spoiled child, it’s that little girl! My gosh, she is LOVED!! I still can’t believe she is going to start FIRST grade this fall; it’s just crazy! I just know she is going to be such a great student – she is just too smart!
She has made some really great friends since coming here in June. According to Ryann she has found a new best friend in Bailey. We’ve run into a few of her friends from school while out running errands, and I have to say I LOVE watching her interact with all these little girls; she is having the time of her life!
Aiden is growing TOO FAST. Someone tell me how to stop it!! His gymnastics coach is getting ready to move him again. You know how much I love to brag about these kids… according to the age requirements he should have JUST moved into the class he is in now, and stay put until he is 5. But at 3.5 they are going to move him up again. We are so proud of our little guy! His reading skills are improving every day. He is now reading 90-100 word books! Needless to say, he keeps us beaming with pride; just like his big sister.
Ryann and Aiden have yet to really have a fight this summer. I’m guessing because unlike before they spend most of the day apart, so they really enjoy the quality time we all get to spend together in the evenings as a family.
We’ve had the opportunity to do some pretty fun things together as a family so far this summer. Our Fourth of July celebrations were just fantastic! We did our annual trip out to Southlake for the fireworks display, and shopping. This year Uncle Joe and Aunt Kim brought there brood and we had a great time! Then we headed out to Gamma and Papa’s for some fun in the pool and more family time.
We took the kids to their first baseball game. It was HOT, so the down pour just before the game was welcomed. Plus I think the kids had more fun playing in the rain than watching the actual game. We were right next to the bull pin, which Aiden thought was amazing. They both LOVE the new gloves they scored at the gift shop too.
Then for my birthday, yep I’ve entered my late twenties; we headed out to Medieval Times. I’ve wanted to take the kids there for the LONGEST time. We all had SO much fun!! It was fun just to sit and watch/listen to the kids yell for the knight they wanted to win, (BTW, Aiden always roots for the under dog) and talk to each other about what was going. It was a great night; I hope we can do it again soon.
Again, sorry it’s been so long since our last update; but as you can see we’ve just been too busy enjoying our summer. We hope you are all doing wonderful too. I WILL get pictures up tomorrow, so check those out when you can.
