YAY!! It's time for school again, Stand up and CHEER again!! It's back to school time again and boy am I excited! Not only do I get my sanity somewhat back, but my peace and quiet as well!! I always take pictures of the girls on their first day of school and some of them hate it and the others don't mind, but I do it regardless! As you can see, even though little Alaya doesn't go to school yet, she too feels like she should be able to get in on the picture taking and she wasn't about to go inside until I took her picture too. She is such a funny little bug and I just absolutely adore her! I adore ALL of my girls, but Alaya is my baby and I rather enjoy having her home all to myself. She is just like my little shadow and every where I go, she goes. She is so used to going everywhere with me and when I have to go to work or somewhere that I can't take her she is absolutely beside herself!! She just can't understand WHY I can't take her with me to work. It's so sad because it's getting to the point now that if she can't go then she doesn't want me going either and she begs me, with her little crocodile tears and all to "Pleeeease" stay home. As for the other girls, at this point they are all enjoying being back to school and back with their friends. They were getting pretty close to being bored to tears by the time school started!Renae is a Senior this year and is so excited that this is her last year in High School and then she will get to be all grown up!! Katelyn and Kelsie are both Sophomores and are both doing well in their studies. They both absolutely love school and are so excited to be back and not at home bored out of their minds. ChristyAnn is in 8th grade and she doesn't really say much so I am assuming she is doing okay. I haven't heard from any of her teachers so I am taking that as a good sign! No seriously, we don't have to worry about ChristyAnn and her school work. She does great! Ashley is in 7th grade this year and is in Middle School now and loves it, at least being with her friends anyway. She's definitely NOT a fan of homework, and I totally sympathize with her because if there was one thing in my life I hated, it was SCHOOL!! And homework was NEVER my friend! Lacey is in 4th grade and she just loves EVERYTHING! She loves being back with her friends, she loves her teacher, and she loves being in school and learning. She is just happy and as long as she is getting HER way, I usually don't have to worry about her much at all!! Last of all is Aymara. She is in 1st grade and is ecstatic that she gets to be in school all day this year. She was so excited to get to stay for lunch at school and be one of the BIG kids! She is doing GREAT and is reading like a trooper. She comes home and reads to either her dad or myself and she tries to read books that really a bit above her reading level, but we help her and she loves it. I figure it will possibly help her progress with her reading level a bit faster, and she is determined to learn all those "BIG" words that she comes across.
So, life is good and the girls are all doing amazing! I just take it all a day at a time and just keep on plugging along. Sometimes I get frustrated and think my life is way too HECTIC & CRAZY, but I love it anyway and have high hopes that it will eventually mellow out a smidge! WHATEVER!! Seriously though, I love my life and I am grateful for every one of my girls and feel so blessed to have each of them in my life. They are each amazing in their own way and I love them with all my heart. Sometimes I have a funny way of showing it, but I truly do!! My WONDERFUL husband and my girls are my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Life is truly great!!
