Zack's Birthday

Wow, time sure does seem to fly by! I say this because yesterday was Zack's third birthday! I didn't plan him an actual party this year, but he seemed to have fun celebrating anyway. We just invited all of our friends from the apartment complex to join us outside yesterday evening. Earlier Jenny, Zack and I had made ice cream cone cupcakes. They turned out to be really cute, and a big hit! The adults just got to visit while the kids ate the cupcakes and played on the bikes and the other outdoor equipment. I seemed like everyone had a great time!

Where did the Summer go?

I can hardly believe it! Stephen starts school in just one week! He actually gets to go in tomorrow and meet his teacher and do his reading assessment. I will be very interested in what his teacher has to say about his reading abilities! Jenny is also getting excited. I finally broke down and applied for preschool for her. I am still not quite sure how I feel about her going to preschool. I know that the Head Start program is supposed to be one of the best, but I still have my concerns. (Mostly because I'm worried that she will be bored, I feel like she is as advanced as many of the kindergartners that started last year with Stephen.) I guess I will just have to wait and see if she is accepted into the program and then make my final decision. I am also not sure what I will do with just Zack home for three hours a day until the baby comes! These things (kids growing up) seem to sneak up on you sometimes! (Even when you are expecting them!)

Finally a start!

Well, it's official. I have started my first blog. I'm still trying to figure out how to best put it all together, so you will just have to bear with me. I think that I'll just start by giving a little bit of information about our family. Ryan is working part time for Home Depot, and looking for another job. I am due October 6th with our fourth child. For those of you who are wondering; no, we are not going to find out what it is. Stephen is now six years old and will be starting 1st grade in August. Jennifer is four and learning her letters and how to write her name. Zachary is two and is getting into everything! Well, I think that will have to do for my first post. I will hopefully get pictures up soon. Thanks!
