the rays of summer slowly fading...

Boy, what a summer.

Having three girls has proven to be a task.

They are the sweetest, but occupy EVERY moment of my day (or at least it feels like that).

We have simply stayed put this summer and enjoyed our home. No traveling, except a small trip to Billings. Finley HATES the car seat, so every moment we can spare her of it leaves our family more sane.

I have chosen to stay home completely leaving behind teaching and subbing for a bit. I want to focus on other passions of mine. Speaking at churches about the love of Christ, teaching the Word to those who are searching, and quietly absorbing every ounce of my children.

Elliott has started kindergarden this week and I can only imagine how she is in the classroom. She said she was able to make her class laugh this week by flipping the "Letter 'F' puppet" upside down...who knows, but I have no doubt it was funny. Mrs. Kuester is in for a run with her...

Carson is enjoying the 2 hrs. and 45 mins. she gets to spend with me daily. She is still very much into being a princess and playing with her dollies. We will be starting her own curriculum soon, but I need to get it all together. She will be a totally different ball game than Elliott with a completely different learning style. She will be a joy to work with and it will be enjoyable to see her learn.

Then there is Finley. Fat Finley is what she has been dubbed by her dear mother! She is so HUGE. Her doctor laughs when he sees her and has called her a line-backer. She is in the 97th percentile for her height and weight (as of her last check-up), which is so the opposite of her two peanut sisters. She is very strong and such a sweet thing. She has been rolling around for quite some time now and this week has started scooting. She gets so mad that she scoots around the living room (quite a tempermental little thing). She has begun to give chuckles to her sisters' delight!

And then there is Adam who is busily and kindly providing for his family. God bless you Adam for all you do for us. What a wonderful husband I have. Enough said.
