First Day of School!

Andrew, crazy excited about his first day!

Mo posing in the hammock, he loves pics!
Well, the boys started school! Andrew had his first day of Kindergarten on Friday. He LOVES it! He feels like such a big boy riding the bus and hasn't come home crying! It did break my heart when he asked where his dad was while we were waiting for the bus.... Mo started preschool on Monday. He is with the same teacher he had last year, so he feels very much at home. He loves school too. Lets just hope it lasts! Noodle was adorable when Andrew left for school, she started crying, saying "I want Andrew". So glad my kiddos love each other!

Updates
I promise, we aren't ignoring our blog! We have been having trouble getting pictures to upload, still a work in progress! Everyone has been keeping busy around here. Getting ready for back to school. This week Andrew starts kindergarten, Mo goes back to preschool next week. Soccer starts next week and we will hopefully be resuming piano lessons shortly! We are really looking forward to getting back into a routine around here. Still working on our house, kind of at a stand still right now just b/c we have done so much, so fast. So we are taking a couple of weeks off and then we will get started again and have everything done by spring. For those who don't know, we have completely redone the living room, new furniture, paint and trim. The kitchen got a new floor, fridge and table, just need to paint in there. The bathroom was gutted, new floor, vanity, beadboard on the walls, just need to finish painting in there. Noodle got a big girl bed, a new door and trim. The boys got bunk beds, but still need to paint, redo trim and put up wood blinds. The basement is cleaned out and once our friend Sarah moves out (she needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks while she found a new place since she and her husband are divorcing too) we will be updating down there to be our kid area, table and chairs for homework and projects, big open play area for running during the cold weather. The upstairs got one room done with new wood floor, drywall and trim work, need to lay floor in the other room and staircase, put in the walk in closet, and then we will be totally done! Until we start on the yard again in the spring! It has been very refreshing and helped a lot to start over new, this is our house now and we are making it the way we want it, it's been very liberating! So, we'll keep working on getting our pics up and keep you all updated on everything we are up to!

We're Back!
Well, it's been awhile, sorry to all of our loyal readers out there. But, we are back now and that is what matters! We are adjusting to being a family of 4 and dealing with all the joys of divorce. Some days are harder than others, but overall we are making it through as a family. The kids are all in Baltimore right now, but many pictures will come when they get home! For now I will give you a little update on each of my beautiful babies
Andrew has become such a little man. He has really stepped up to the plate with this divorce and become such a good little helper to me. He is crazy excited to go to kindergarten in the fall. He still loves anything to do with sports. This summer was his first year playing tball and he does very well, just like every sport he plays. He really enjoys it, but keeps asking when soccer starts as that is his favorite. He absolutely loves his video games and loves if I sit and watch him play. He has struggled with the divorce. It has been hard to watch. He gets very angry sometimes and doesn't really know how to deal with it. I am doing everything I can to help him. I think that we will probably have to start counseling for him in the near future.
Joseph, my dear sweet Mo, has taken this very hard. He tells me he doesn't want to be with his dad and makes comments to Andrew that they don't have a daddy anymore. It breaks my heart. Joseph is crazy smart, and realizes a lot more than most people give him credit for. I think he knows a lot more about what is going on than anyone thinks. He is such a sweet boy. Joseph is my lover. He wants to sit and cuddle and be loved all the time. He would be completely content to sit on my lap all day long. he is getting into video games a little, but nothing like Andrew. He still loves Thomas the Tank Engine and is not a fan of sports. He played tball with Andrew this summer and tells me that he doesn't really like it, but he does it anyway b/c he is part of the team. He has said that he wants to play soccer again, so we will see in the fall. He is excited to go back to preschool this year and asks me frequently when he gets to go back.
Noodle has become the diva of all divas. She has such a strong personality already. She knows what she wants, and she gets it. She has absolutely no fear and I truly believe she thinks she is a boy. She wants to do anything her brothers do. She has formed a special bond with Mo. Many times they are inseparable. She is such a momma's girl too. The only effect I see that the divorce has had on her is that she is much more clingy to me and Lexie. She becomes very anxious if one of us is not within her sight. I think she will fare the best through it all just because she is so young. She will never remember life with her father so it won't be too much of an adjustment for her after this initial change.
Hope this is enough to keep you all going till they get back! I will post pictures as soon as I can. I have lots of old ones to get up here from the last year and I promise I will get them up as soon as I can!
Love Ya!
