I am a mother of four, I have 3 boys and 1 girl. Our 2 younger boys struggle with a speech delay that we are working on. With that being said, things can get a bit chaotic around here and frustration levels rise. Living and learning with these boys and the speech delays has taught me patience and a whole new understanding that people see things in so many different ways. I am a stronger person because of this and feel blessed to have these little angels. I am married to a fabulous man and am living a happy life!

It's the start of another school year...

We have two MAJOR milestones for this school year.  We have one that is leaving Elementary and beginning Junior High/Middle School and one that is starting Elementary.  It is hard for me to believe that Austin is starting the 7th Grade!  Where has the time gone?  I can still remember my 1st day of Junior High and now I have a son this age!  Crazy how fast they grow up.  We live far enough away that he will be taking the school bus this year.  He is pretty excited about that.  For some reason he seems to be excited that the bus comes at 7:12 am...EARLY!!!
Austin had his 7th grade orientation on Thursday Aug 25th so he went to school for a 1/2 day.  His "official" first day of school was Monday August 29th.


Then there is my little Gabe who is starting Kindergarten?  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  Already?  It is way too soon for him to be starting Kindergarten.  He will be in a Diagnostic Kindergarten class.  We are super excited about his teacher, she seems really mellow and very understanding.  She has worked with Autistic children for the last 12 years, so we feel very blessed to have her as Gabe's teacher.  He will be going for 1/2 day.  He leaves the house at 7:45 am and gets home at noon.  He was very excited to see the bus come to pick him up.
Gabe's 1st day of school was Tuesday August 23rd.


Sebastian will be going to pre-school again this year as well as next year too.  So he still has a little time before he is off to Kindergarten.  His bus picks him up at 8:35 and drops him off back at home at 11:15.  He is only gone for a couple of hours and only goes on Tuesdays & Thursdays.  He loves school and enjoys having friends to play with.
Sebastian started school before all of them, his 1st day was Thursday August 18th. 


All of my boys are off to school!  It sure makes it quiet around here having the 3 of them gone.  Abby seems to enjoy the one on one attention that she gets from us during this time.
