The Gang

Let me tell you about our crew... Momma L- I dig pretty shoes- that are comfy. And coffee, I love coffee. Big Daddy- He is gonna cringe if he sees this, lol. I also dig that. He loves playing basketball with the kiddos. JD- He is 14. He is sarcastic. He is a freshman in HS. He is a regular teen. Annoyingdotcom. I heart that. HN- 9 yr old math wiz and future rap star. Well at least that is how he sees himself. He currently is enjoying beatboxing, reading, and anything techy. Little Miss- 8 years old, loves my little ponies and her critters. She loves all things pretty. HW- 7 years old and if it has to do with construction,garbage trucks, or wild life...he's there! He is my little funny man. Baby O- 4 years old and fancies herself fancy. She enjoys all things dolly, tea party, or shopping related.

the first day

"where's Eia Eia and Enwee?" "where Daddy go?"... just 2 of the many questions I answered today.

...It may not be rocket science, but to my 1 yr old. Liv, it is at the forefront of her little mind. School has started, and with that Jules is back at our house, full time. yay! And the kids head to school. It a weird mix of emotions I have here for this. I am happy for them, and the fun experiences that they are having. I mean, who wouldn't want to drink chocolate milk out of a bag once a week! Or have their Momma pack awesome lunches in a Mario lunch box with sweet notes written inside?!? But at the same time every second I have when they are home is short, scheduled, and sweet...well sometimes sweet. I mean let's be realistic here. Sometimes they are little stinkers and not everything is sunshine and roses. I am also happy for the kids at home because they get to have a different role. HW is falling more into a big brother, big boy role now that his big brother is gone most of the day. And he also get some sweet alone time with not only his sister, but with me when she is down for nap. I am really enjoying that. However I do see that the big kids are missed. I guess no matter what you do there are ups and downs:)
So how is school going one might ask... well it's going pretty great. Henry is liking 1st grade, though I am anxiously awaiting word from his teacher that she needs volunteers. She is a first year and so I am wondering if maybe she is overwhelmed, or just trying to do it all on her own. Either way I would love to be in the classroom helping like last year. That sure was fun. I have yet to have a chance to meet Jules' teacher, and HW starts school next month.

It's been awhile but I am still here!

I may not post all the time like I want but I am still here, doing the momma thing listening to Liv scream at the top of her little lungs, "daddy!" This particular post, will not be long. Short and sweet, but just saying I am her...
