updates!

Well, it has been a busy summer --as you can see from our slideshow of pics below.
We are getting ready to go back to school in a couple of days.
Gavin will be in 1st grade-holy crap! I cannot believe I am a mom of a first grader! Taylor is equally excited b/c she gets to go to daycare at bubby's school (first ever for either of the kids to be in daycare).
Taylor is quite our little princess. She loves everything that has to do with princesses yet she likes to be rough and tough with the boys too:)
Gavin is quite the young man...way to oild for his own good--or so he thinks:) He met his teacher last week and he loves that they have a classroom pet, RAT!-Mommy is not thrilled! He lost two baby teeth this summer too. for both he wanted Todd to hook string from his tooth to the front door--BUT when it all came down to the "slam" no such luck. Both little teeth fell out on their own:) The "tooth fairy" these dsays has to be so generous--I was told it is 2009 now not the 80's when I used to get a quarter from the tooth fairy!:) LOL!
Todd got a job this summer at another lawn company and seems to like it. He also has made a huge career step in that he is attending classes at LCC to complete coursework necessary to get into the police academy! It has been an interesting journey and somewhat stressful, but he is traking 2 classes right now and more next semester! In fact, he gave his first speech (for speech class) last week--not as easy as he thought it wold be:)
As for me--Well I am still growing a basketball :) out in front...it too has been an interesting journey this 3rd time around. I am thankful though that it has not been an overly hot summer--I do not think I could have handled it:)
I am starting back to work this week in a new position--I am very excited about... Then off for the baby's arrival. Man time flies!
(more to come now that I am back to my routine --hopefully):)

Our Summer-Yikes! It's been awhile
