Catching Up and Making Time

Hello Again!... That's right I am still alive and well. I didn't fall off the face of the earth as some of you may have thought ... So thought today would be a good day to update my blog and let you know what has been going on with us since the last time.

We spent all summer long working on our front room which by the way is done. We are loving it I will show you that in just a Minute but first.

My Baby is growing so fast ... She turned 3 this summer. Here she is blowing out her candles. I cant believe how fast my girls are growing .

ERIKA ... Turning 3 this summer

So I told you i would post the finished results of the summer remodel project well here it is.

this is one wall ... with our new entertainment stand
is the entry way ... red ( i love my red wall ) what can i say ... i love red
This is my favorite part of the whole room ... before i just had our family picture hanging on the wall... one of my girlfriends gave me a vinyl saying i thought that this would be a great way to decorate and give the wall a little bit more life ... IT TURNED OUT AWESOME!
Here is the entertainment stand again ... I just have to totally give praise to my great husband for doing an awesome job ... we did have some help from friends which i am totally grateful for however my husband did all the other work himself ... finishing of the arch way to the hall ... sheet rocking one wall ... all the tram and molding. finishing touches and decor ... he did it all ... he is amazing ... I love you dear great job

At the end of Summer it was time for school to start again ... Madison Started 4th grade this year ... i am starting to worry a little bit since in 2 years she will be starting junior high and the teenage years ... just when the baby years are starting to end the teenage years creep up on you

Also Emma made a big leap this year from preschool to Kindergarten ... Yeah ... she is loving being able to go to school with her big sister ... although she has already started saying that school is boring. so hopefully it picks up or i am in for it.

Emma getting out of the car on her first day!

How sad i had to stand back and watch her walk up to her class ... i had a few tears but not to many i didn't want to embarrass her

Another sad moment the same day Erika started preschool ... that right ... all three of my girls are in school now ... i was lost the first day or two that i had by myself ... granted it was only for 2 hours but when you spend the last nine years with at least one of your kids around and then all of a sudden there is a break ... it can be a little unsettling at first but now that i am in the swing of things ... i am loving it ... every mother should be able to have a few moments to herself.

Erika getting ready to be off to preschool .. She love being able to do that same stuff that her sister can do .

Well that's it for now ... i will try and do another update by the end of September to get back on track ... We love all of you guys and wish you the best.
