Bring On Summer

Ready for summer!!!We are all getting ready for summertime around our house. Molly has only 5 more days until she becomes a kindergarten graduate from Round Rock Christian Academy. She has enjoyed her year there, and is looking forward to the first grade. Last week she decided to "face her fears" and get her ears pierced. She was so brave, and didn't shed a tear! I was so proud of her. We also worked on a school project for the kindergarten end of year rodeo. We made a pink stick pony which turned out rather cute!! She has also enjoyed being in a Daisies troop this last year, participating in cookie sales, taking tours of a fire and police station and all around fun. She and Eric have already been swimming in our pool a few times and they are both ready to make it a daily ritual (if only working didn't get in the way!). Molly is also looking forward to attending baking camp, VBS, princess camp and spending a week in Eldorado this summer. The twins are growing at such a rapid pace, they will be 7 months old next week! Stella has four teeth and is getting up on her knees and rocking. We are fearful that she will be crawling soon and into everything. Sam has no sign of any teeth, but is rolling everywhere he wants to go. They are at such a fun age. We laugh a lot and have so much fun. Due to the fact that Sam has outgrown his infant carrier's weight limit (22lbs)we have moved them both to their big kid carseats (rear facing, of course!) and they are loving all the room. The babies both sleep 10(ish) hours a night, so that makes us all happier :) Feeding time is especially fun since we are trying new things and experimenting. WHAT A MESS!!! Eric is doing great too. We went to an Astros game recently and had a 'ball'. He is looking forward to an upcoming camping trip to Lake Buchanan and spending some time at the river in New Braunfels this summer. I am staying busy keeping up with everyone. I am walking in my first 5K in two weeks, so I have been trying to get in regular walks to get ready for that. The babies love going out with me and thankfully it has not been too hot yet. I also joined a Mothers of Multiples club during my pregnancy that meets monthly and has playdates often. I am enjoying the friendships I have made through the club and relying on them for advice and information has been wonderful! I have a babysitter who comes a couple of mornings a week so that I can grocery shop, run errands, and keep my sanity! Thankfully my amazing husband understands my need for this, and he has made it possible! Our lives are so blessed and full, but we couldn't do it without all the support of our family and friends. I recently got Sam and Stella's baby books updated (after 6 months) and it was a chore. I decided to start our online 'family book' so that I could keep a record of events and pictures all in one place. So, here goes..........HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!!!!!!!
