Busy Busy Busy

We have been keeping really busy lately. I have been really bad about blogging the last few months, well since I became pregnant. Here's a little bit of catch up on our lives. This pregnancy has wiped me out. Recently I decided to start taking extra iron pills, thinking maybe I was anemic. It really seems to be helping. The boys have been busy being boys. David has decided that he wants to do everything that Jacob is doing. It's cute watching them play together. Jacob loves it that David finally wants to play with him. Jacob is doing really well in Kindergarten. I am so glad that he has such a wonderful teacher who has recognized that he was getting bored with what they were learning. She has made the extra effort to give him extra work and teach him new things so that he isn't bored. Emily and Erica had a concert at school where they sang a very nice variety of Christmas songs. They did a fantastic job! Of course they were on opposite sides, here is a picture of Emily with her class.

Here's Erica with her class.

Sara is learning to play the clarinet in Middle School this year. It was so much fun going to her first Band Concert. They did such a wonderful job after only playing their instruments for a few short months. She is in the very back left corner of the picture. It was super hot in the gym and very crowded, so I was just focusing on not passing out and this is the only picture that I took.

Before her concert we got a Pre-Concert at home. It is so wonderful to watch your children find a joy in music.

Jacob and Sara also participated in soccer this fall. They had a lot of fun.

When the three girls were little I use to think that life could not get any more crazy and busy then we were at that time. I soon found out that just because they were in school didn't mean less crazy. It's just a different kind of crazy and busy. But, we have so much joy watching our children grow, develop talents, and learn new things. Now we are getting ready for Christmas, for Manny to deploy in a few days, and for the baby. One thing is for sure... we are never bored and we are thankful for that!
