Life is crazy!! Summer is over. The kids are back in school. Nate is a 3rd grader. Not sure how that happened. I feel like just yesterday I was holding him in the NICU at Freeman Hospital. His teacher is Ms.Diaz. She seems nice and he seems to like school this year. So far anyway. He is such a smart kid!! Eli is a 1st grader. He says he doesn't like school, but I think deep down he really does. His best friend Nolan is in his class. He was so excited about that. Sammy started preschool. With his personality he really needs the structure and interaction with the other kids. He is loving it. Our babysitter, Jaimie, works there too and he adores her. Ruthie and I are having fun enjoying the quietness in the house and the calmness of trips out. I love it! Ruthie is growing so fast. She'll be 1 in 2 weeks. So hard to believe.
I'm still enjoying photography. We just bought a new camera and lens. Greg and I are both able to use it for FishXpressions so it's wonderful!
Eli lost his first tooth lastnight and the tooth fairy brought him $5. This morning on our way to church I decided to get a latte from McDonalds. Eli told me he wanted pancakes. I told him that we were going to church to eat donuts. He said he didn't want donuts. I then told him I didn't have enought money for the pancakes. He said to me very serious, "Mom, why do we keep running out of money? We should stop spending and wait until all our teeth fall out." Too funny!!
