Today is Bella's 5th Birthday! We made purple cupcakes with purple frosting for her party at school. Andrew had soccer practice tonight. I am so proud of him. He is doing so well and is so much more focused than he was playing last year. Another mom was sitting next to me and she said, "your son is so athletic, I can tell by the way he runs and kicks the ball." It made me feel really good, especially for Andrew because he often struggles with things and takes more time to get things. I really hope sports is where he can really shine.
I took the kids orienteering on Sunday at Center Park. We had fun. It was such a hot day though and I did more walking than I have done in a long time. I was exhausted walking over every square inch of that park. It felt good though to get out without Michael and Christina. It is so hard to give all the kids their own individual attention. It seems that I spend most of my time with the two little ones because they require so much attention, and I feel that sometimes the older two don't get their fair share of my time. I guess that is just how it goes with four kids. I am always going to feel guilty and think that I am not doing enough.
The Girls!!! Andrew took this picture of us and it came out great.
Andrew is quite the photographer. He took this one too!
Here is Michael after Bella got done dressing him up. He actually liked it and had fun too. He really doesn't look like he is enjoying it from this picture. At least she isn't putting dresses on him yet.
stacey, what fun things you guys have been up to! you must feel some days like your head is just spinning trying to juggle it all. it's fun seeing the kids together though. i don't think any of them are going to feel deprived growing up. it is obvious how much you and vince love them and look how fun they are together!
