Oh ...

Today I went to sign Carissa up for Kindergarten. What a bittersweet moment. I'm so happy the she's going to Kindergarten next year and she's certainly looking forward to it. But on the other hand, she is my baby and I can't believe she's going to Kindergarten. Not to mention, I've gotten very used to spending time with her, to having her home with me and tagging along everywhere together all day. It's only 1/2 days in Kindergarten, so I'll still have her home in the afternoons. But it's the start of big changes ahead for her. I know she's ready. I'm just not sure I am.

Wow! Kindergarten! Jim and I are really starting to feel old. I'm sure Carissa will love school, and at least you have one more year where she won't be away all day.

I would have done the same here, except we have to move in July, so registration will wait till we get to Kansas. I just heard they're going to full day kindergarten there. Will be great for Hannah, as she is already in a part-day preschool and wants to go all day!

I was thinking about it when I saw the registration notice come out...can you BELIEVE we are registering our "feb babies"?

I could cry for you. It's the saddest thing to see them go off to Kindergarten and not need you anymore! Think of all the photo ops, though! ;)

Just think about what you can do with all that free time. It may be bittersweet, but at least you can scrap...

Height Check ...

Image
I knew it would happen eventually -- today just happened to be the day. Twice a year we mark the kids heights and ages on our piece of wood kept especially for this purpose. The last several years Tristan has been steadily gaining inches on Chase, coming closer and closer to Chase's height. Today was the day when he surpassed his brothers height. Take a look at the closeup of the stick. Tristan, at age 9 1/2, just barely edged out Chase, age 11 1/2. While Chase knew it was coming, he is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of being smaller than his "little" brother. He, understandably, does not think this is fair. We've had some very frank discussions the last few months about the fact that Tristan is going to be bigger. He has Brian's "big" gene and is going to be a tall and brawny guy like his Dad. Chase on the other hand got a lot of my genes and will probably be a more average height. Tristan is thrilled to be bigger than Chase and has done a good jo...

I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!
