Life

School has started for Will, Sam and Me. Along with soccer and dance. This all equals crazy, crazy times. Our happy-go-lucky days of summer are over, and we're (I'm) still trying to transition! My baby boy turned 7 on August 17th (the first day of school). That kid continues to amaze me every day. Last night on a walk with just him and I, he made me stop to look at the awesome sunset. He is just so in tune to the beauty around us, and not afraid to voice it. I pray that he never loses that wonder!
Sam seems to meet a new friend every day. She even told me that a boy in her class named Luke was her friend now! We love it when she comes home with something to read to us. I cannot believe that we have two readers on our hands now! Sammy started a tap/ballet/jaz class with her BFF this week. It's gotta be better than soccer. She just couldn't handle all of the sweat involved!
Livilea is just a doll baby. She finally decided that her mode of mobility will be walking. (about 1 week shy of 16 months) She is so darn tall that she can reach door knobs, countertops, drawers, and so much more. It keeps us hoppin' that's for sure!! Livi is a big "phone talker"! She adores our cell phones, and just carries them around held up to her ear. She says "hello". She seems to have a lot of important instructions to give her big brother and sister with all of her pointing and babbling at them.
It's nice to chill out in the midst of this daily chaos to count our blessings because there are many.
