FINALLY, joining the 21st century!

I have been thinking about doing something like this for over a year now. My dear friend Julie turned me onto this site and well, finally, here we are. I figured the summer would give me some time to reflect and get the kids imput on what to tell you about! Between school, baseball, music, friends and family we are, in one word, BUSY. We are trying to live every moment to the fullest with these little buggers. They are my sunshines.

We have been bit by the baseball bug for the last 2 months and finally it is coming to an end. Unfortunately, there was only 2 combined wins between both Landin and Kian's teams this year. Playoffs started this week and we have 1 win so far!

The kids finished school last week and a successful year was had by all. We officially have a 2nd grader and a 6th grader. I can't believe Landin will be in Middle School! We have all heard it before but it needs repeating, THEY GROW UP TOO FAST.

Every year the kid's school gives out a very special award to the "most thoughtful 5th grader" who demonstrates the motto/crede of the school "think also of the comfort and rights of others." This year that honorable award was given to our sweet Landin! We are so proud of him. There wasn't a dry eye in our family during that ceremony. Landin was polling all of his friends a few days before, as he REALLY wanted his name on the "thoughtfulness" school plaque. We are so happy with their school, they truly enjoy themselves and learn well beyond the "textbook." Here is a link to their website if you feel like checking it out. We feel really blessed to be able to send them there. http://www.winchesterthurston.org/ Once I get a little more savvy with this "blogger" I'll add the video of Landin receiving the award, it was really touching.
