Oh gosh, it’s been a few weeks

Time just flies.  Do you know that?  I’m sure you do.  I really thought I was keeping up with our family blog – like I was just here last week, but I see it’s been two weeks.  sigh.  Where does the time go?

Well, Megan finished her first year of Pre-K last Friday.  It ended with a field trip to Midstate Gymnastics for an hour of fun with classmates.  I can’t believe we’ve made it through the year.  I remember Ryan and I being so worried about her starting school at only 3.5 years old.  I remember Ryan thinking maybe it was a bad idea to send her.  Megan’s therapist, Arina, and I thought it would be good for her.  Well, I truly believe it did her well, even though there were a lot of struggles until we found out her food allergies and lactose deficiency.  After that she was doing excellent at school.  I know all of us are extremely greatful to Megan’s three teachers for all they’ve done to help us get through this year.  We couldn’t have asked for a better support team.  You know that saying “It takes a village to raise a child”?  (or something like that, lol).  Well, it does, and we have an AWESOME village raising BOTH our children.  We are truly blessed.

Kylie still has this week and one day next week of school and then she is finished for the summer.  I think Ryan and I are more ready for the school year to be over than she is, lol.  I can’t believe that kindergarten is almost over.  Wow!  Kylie has made such advancements in school this year.  She’s learned to read, and fairly well.  She is doing math that I never thought she’d do at this age.  Her artistic skills just amaze us.  We are still not sure where she got them from.  I don’t know how she compares to others, but to us her artistic ability is good for her age.  I’m sure there are more advancements I’m not thinking of at the moment.  sigh.

Oh!  Kylie lost her 5th tooth the other night!  I told her she’s looking like a pumpkin now, the way she’s missing teeth here and there.  LOL.

We spent this past weekend with the Horvath family for Emerson’s 2nd birthday party.  We had a great time, despite the chillier weather.  We are planning a camping trip and hope to iron out the details soon.

Other than that, it’s mowing, cleaning up messes, and Ryan is now tiling the master bath!  I can’t wait until it’s done.

I’d post pictures on here, but it seems like an extra step, since I already post them on our website.  I’ve updated the pictures so go take a look!
