Matt and I have both been working overtime recently. Matt's company is rolling out a new system and my company is starting some new services (which I've been fortunate enough to be a part of). The girls have been having a great summer. We have spent time playing on the slip n slide, the kiddie pools, at my best friend's pool, hanging out with my other best friend, trips to Dollywood, and so much more. Needless to say, I am looking forward to a break. Bailey is growing like crazy. He is about 5lb. and has had one haircut. Matt trims his nails every other week and he gets bathed weekly. He doesn't care much for the nail trimmings but he really enjoys bath time. He is so loving and sweet, but sure likes to chew on some fingers. He is losing his teeth right now and is a typical kid with the teething (tired, runny poop, chews and slobbers, etc.).
I have been going through some of my own stuff but that is another issue. Just keep me in your prayers. I am also starting to feel the pending sadness that goes along with my youngest child starting school this year. I look back and think, "where did the years go?" It seems like yesterday that she was learning to walk and talk. I feel like I have missed so much and now my baby girl is going off to Kindergarten. My oldest child is the typical, prepubescent smarty pants so I feel certain that I will not miss this phase of her life. Just teasing- she is a bundle of fun too. I never know what smartellic comment she will come out with next and I honestly do look forward to some of them because it shows so much of her personality. I am truly thankful that she feels comfortable enough to tell me what she thinks because this has definitely been an issue with her in the past. She acts more and more like me all of the time. Poor Sweet Pea was destined to be like me anyway so Matt has a lot of struggles with three females around. Bailey seems to have sided with the girls too so Matt doesn't even have that in his favor. Super Mario (our beta fish) couldn't care less.
Well, it is off to another week. Lots to do and no time to do it in. We have three very special birthdays coming up at the end of the month and then a bunch more for the remainder of the year (at least three per month until December). I am also starting to think about Christmas time so I am looking forward to shopping and goody ideas.

bailey is quite a cutie!! i did ok with the girls going to kindergarten, middle school and high school. But, when they went to college i cried...cuz their lives were their own and the sense of them not needing you is overwhelming. But then they call you over little things that are so delighted to hear and you realize that you raised them for such a moment as this. we are having a good summer. My neck is doing better so rob and i have been out hiking ect more and we have been busy around the house. Beans is so cute and talking and holding big conversations with anyone who will listen. and indy is such a doll...i did get to see him a few times this summer and hope to see him some more this fall. enjoy the rest of your summer. we did get a fence up and love it!
oh, I love bailey!! So cute!! I know you've been super busy but we miss you:)
