Drew starts school in two weeks. And this “back-to-school” is going to be a little different. Because… he’s going to be in high school. HIGH SCHOOL?! What is this time warp? It doesn’t seem like so long ago that I was in high school. Or that long ago when Drew was just a little boy.
I created this page to document his graduation cerimony from 8th grade:

and he looks so grown up (and handsome!) to me. Since then he’s gotten his hair cut short (see updated blog header!) and I love it. I think it makes him look even older. You know what’s crazy now? I will be the mother of:
a high schooler
a middle schooler
a pre-schooler
and a nursing baby.
This is wild. But definitely, an awesome wild that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I love my life. I’m living my life’s dream come true. I’m a happily married, stay-at-home mommy to four beautiful wonderful children.
A quickie update on my other babies:
Holly was invited to go to the Europe trip with her school. It’s a big deal to be asked and for a couple weeks we seriously entertained the idea:

Ultimately, we decided it wasn’t the right time and we’d rather spend the money on a family vacation. But I was still very proud of her that she was asked.
Jaimee is such a sweet girl… she’s becoming more “girl” and less “baby” quickly! I took these photos of her at the park a few weeks ago and love how they turned out:

Bennett of course, makes changes weekly! From this:

He’s 8 months old here and you can see his bottom two teeth are already in. Right now, his top right tooth has come in (I’m calling him “snaggletooth” right now cause it looks pretty funny!) and his top left is just about to break through. So early with this teething! *pout* And yes, I agree. He looks just like his Daddy. Even I can see it. It’s so adorable to me that I have a baby version of my husband!
I hope you’ve been having an awesome summer break. We have! I can’t believe that it’s nearly over!
oh Kathleen! You have just got the most amazing gorgeous family! I can not even believe they are getting so big. Even Bennett! He looks like holly a little too, just precious. Good luck with this year and a big huge congrats to miss Holly! That is fantastic, you should be so proud.
Gorgeous, inspiring pages!
Loving these pages, Kathleen! And I love the newest pics of the children…all so beautiful and growing up so fast. LOL Hugs!
