Growing So Fast

All my kids are growing so fast! Hannah, my 6 year old darling, lost her third tooth today! She has the cutest new smile and I smile every time she talks. She lost the upper tooth sometime during the night and it was no where to be found... she must have swallowed it. No, I will not be keeping my eye out for it in the toilet. She wrote a letter to the tooth fairy explaining why the tooth was not available for the normal exchange. Very cute.

Isaac is now able to pump himself on the swing set. We all rejoice! He is super excited about it and is enjoying his new found freedom. He is, and will always be, my silly, happy little boy! Such a fun kid.

Eli is getting bigger by the second! He is smiling so much, talking to his adoring family members and occasionally someone else (he likes Ann, Marilyn and Dudley at church). He is very strong. He enjoys standing and holding weight on his legs. He loves to roll from his tummy to his back and he can get from his back to his side. He hasn't rolled to his tummy yet, but it's not far off. He has little conversations with hanging toys and like to bat at them to see what they will do about it! Cute, cute, cute!

I'm entering my second week back at work. It has gone well. I am finding myself a bit more tired and my house is somewhat neglected. Oh well. We will survive some dirty dishes. The mornings really go by fast. I keep busy with the preschoolers and Eli comes down to eat. The last two days last week went very well, so I am hoping we are getting into a new routine.

I am a bit concerned about the end of the week. Aaron leaves on Wednesday afternoon for the west side. He doesn't' return until Saturday, so I am on my own for a few days. My only concern is getting everyone ready and fed and out the door by 7:20am. This will be tricky. I'll have to have as much a possible ready the night before and wake up early enough to get a shower and myself ready before the kids wake up. Say a prayer for me!
