It's Been So Long

It's been such a long time since I've gotten on to blog anything. We've been so busy. It seems that the time is just flying by and I haven't gotten anything done. I've been so busy with school things. It's gone from District and State Solo and Ensemble to now practicing for the upcoming musical at school. I've been going in almost every day or at the very least, every evening. As soon as Marc walks in the door from work, I leave. But I love my job and it does get me out of the house. For those of you who are in the area and want to see a really good show with some great acting and singing, Plymouth High School is putting on "Grease" May 2nd and 3rd. It's going to be a great show. The kids are doing wonderfully! I am playing in the pit orchestra along with 7 other high school students. The music is fun and also very challenging. But I love it!!!



The girls are growing so fast. It seems like they're eating me out of house and home. And I know it will only get worse. The girls have shot right up and thinned right down (though we haven't ever been worried about the latter)! They have really enjoyed the warmer weather. Getting outside has been great! I think we were all suffering from a little cabin fever. We spent 4 hours outside last Saturday evening just running around, flying kites, playing on the swings and slide, watching Marc fly (or crash, rather) his plane and just enjoying our time together.


Emma has finished her very first milestone - kindergarten! She has learned so much so quickly. And she loves learning. She knows all her numbers and how to write them, all the letters of the alphabet and how to write those and she can even write sentences! But I think what I love the most is that she LOVES to read!! And she's reading a lot with very little help. Her longest book to date - 63 pages! We're very proud of her! And so are her sisters. So much so that they ask her to read them books now instead of me. And you know what? I love it! I love to see her getting lost in a book - her imagination racing.


And now I must go! It seems like we're always running from this place to that. I am looking forward to summer vacation and spending a little more time around my home. I've got lots of landscaping and yard work to do. But I am dreaming of the day when I can just go outside, hang out with my girls and not have to worry about going into work. I know I sound like an old lady, but I miss my family. I've got an awesome family! I am so thankful for Marc and the girls! I love them all dearly!
