Lila in Spring

Well Lila finally got to wear the first little outfit that I bought from Robin of Red Thread Stitches oh probably two years ago. Now that Lila is home I'm amazed how fast that 2 1/2 years went by waiting to bring her home and very glad that it's over with!!!! She loves clothes and is always so excited to get dressed.we completed this ensemble with yellow socks,her black hightops and her clear glitter lip gloss..... and I will have to admit that I have sooooo much fun dressing her and envy her wardrobe!!

Lila's First Easter

Lila loved her first Easter with us. We were in Mt Pleasant and she loved the Easter Bunny, but was sure to let me know that he was wearing shoes! Oh my is she perceptive or what!!!Jake and Cade also had a blast and Cade had informed us before we left Gigi and Pop-pops that he would be staying and asked Jake to take care of Mega Tron( his fish)!! So now he asks me each day after school if we are going back to G&P's yet!!! So here are a few pics!!

STRESSED OUT!!!

I'm feeling a bit stressed right now with so much going on. Scott will be starting work in Miami towards the end of the year which will leave me here, alone with 3 kids for possibly 2 weeks at a time and then he will only be home for the weekend Lets see that is a total of 4 whole days a month with daddy !!! UGH the thought of that hurts my heart and I don't know how it will effect them or me for that matter!!! That in itself is enough to push me over the edge!! I don't handle not knowing or being able to plan my future and right now I have NO clue what the next 6mos to a year will bring( move? Sell the house in this market and loose our rears? be a virtual single mom?move my kids every few years for Scott's job??? can someone please give me the right answers!!!!). My next issue that just arouse was Jake's teacher had her baby and now there is a sub for the remaining 6 weeks!!! That is NOT GOOD NEWS!!(if only MS Sturba could have held on JUST KIDDING) but the sub has no idea about Jake and how Ms Sturba understood Jake and they had a good thing going so now I am very worried about how well he will do or should I say NOT do for the last part of the year!! I'm going to meet with her this afternoon to give her a Jake overview!!! I never thought it would be so hard to be a parent, you just never stop worrying or trying to keep "world" under control!!! If I have to raise the kids alone for an extended period of time I might just go postal!!! Oh.... now I know why I look older every day!!!! Please keep Jake's sub in your thoughts and me in your prayers!!!!

NO April Fool's!!!!

I was so excited to discover a note from Mrs. Beamer( Cade's K teacher) to let me know that "Cade has been doing a super job this week getting his work finished. YIPPEE!" As you might know Cade has had a hard time finishing his work in a timely fashion so this is a big step and we are so proud of him!!!! Way to pull it out the last 9 weeks of school!!! Go Cade!!! Cade is such a smart kid and one who would rather be collecting bugs than coloring in a classroom!!!! Only 12 yrs to go buddy!!!! I have faith we will both make it!!
