Catching up....

This has been a busy summer and we haven't even gone on a vacation! On June 16th Brandon was in a mountain biking accident and stayed 2 nights in the Trauma ICU. That was a BIG scare for me and he is now home and doing okay. He will be going back to work at the end of this month. It has been difficult for all of us having him home. It is never easy to change routine. He is bored out of his mind and ready to return to normal living.

On June 19th, Claire graduated from preschool. She was absolutely adorable and I am still in shock that I have a kindergartner. It seems like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant with her. I can not believe how big she is and how beautiful she is. I am so blessed to have her and I am learning to be a better parent to her. She is still attending Joy of Children Preschool through the end of July and will officially start Kindergarten on August 10th! Less than a month away! Yikes! I am excited for her and she can not wait to begin school at Russell Ranch Elementary. I am a little worried about her adjusting, but I know that she will be okay.

Hannah is blossoming. She still likes to be the baby, but she is getting more of her own voice. She will start attending preschool 3 days a week to prep her for Kindergarten. She is looking forward to being a leader this year at preschool and is excited for some of her friends to join her this next year. I am amazed at her wittiness- she is always saying something to make me laugh!

I am busy as always but trying to find balance in life. I know that this time next year I will be done with my bachelors and I will be able to relax a bit! I can not wait to finish up school next May. It is not too far away!

Life is good and God is good!
