It all started when...

Well, here I am...FINALLY starting our blog page. Everybody has one you know! If Ruth can do it, then so can I. (Sorry Ruth!)
Since I will be sending this to people who know us, I won't bore you with early details, I'll just start with today. I go to work from 4-8 am (dispatch) and then come home, get the little girls off to day-care (if needed) and then go back from 10-2 (office assistant). On Mondays, I go directly to Scouts, where I am the assistant Wolf leader. Jeff is on the day shift right now, so he works 7 am - 7 pm. He gets the kids up in the morning and Christina, our nanny, gets them on the bus at 7:30 and waits for me to come home at 8. When Jeff's home, he gets the kids on the bus and then gets the little girls breakfast and GETS to play with them ALL DAY! It's a crazy schedule but we do what we can!
Grayson is in 4th grade. His teacher is a "long lost cousin" and he thinks that's really cool. He really likes school and gets good grades. He is on a wrestling team right now. I just learned that the wrestling season goes into early spring. He is supposed to wrestle his first tournament on Saturday. He's a little nervous and wants to "just keep practicing".
Hailey is in 2nd grade and loves school too. More than that, she LOVES to sing. She sings all the time. And, since big sisters are "all that", her little sisters are always singing too. They take after their mom in that respect.... I LOVED to dance! Hailey is a very pretty girl. She's 7 going on 13 and sometimes scares her mom and dad because she wants to be grown up NOW! She and Grayson are members of Kid Corps. Grayson plays the snare drum and Hailey is playing the tenor drum and "flourishing". IT IS SO FUN!
Sarah is 5! She missed the school deadline by 5 days so she gets to start pre-school at Adams in January. She is very excited to go to school. She loves to dress up as a princess and sings and dance. She's a sweet little girl and gets her feelings hurt easily ( a little too easily) sometimes.
Analeigh is 2. HOLY COW! She's a busy girl! She has to be just like her big sisters and she does (literally) EVERYTHING they do! She is, however, her own person and likes to have some "ME" time with her baby. She talks to her and rocks and sings to her. Just the other day I heard her say,"Be good. Mommy spank you butt". Hmmmmm. Where in the heck did she hear that???? Then yesterday, we were on our way out the door and she kissed the baby goodbye and said,"Have nice day. Be good, love you too". That, she gets from me. : ) I don't have time to attach photos right now but I will get that done as soon as I have time to sit and figure it out. It's time to go for now, but I will return. Love to all!
