"I had the weirdest dream. It was a stormy night, and it was raining - of course. And someone was IN LOVE with me! And he was like 2 or 3 years old and he kept trying to kiss me on the cheek!"
Did you love him back?
"Well he had 3000 moms and 10 dads and 3000 grandmas and 2 grandpas"
So did you love him back?
"Not so much"

"They're practicing soccer long long long long long long time so them is done!"

For my own memory, here are a few things going on lately:

• My sister Rachel just had her first baby last week. Alana had a great first few days, then started having seizures. She's in the local children's hospital NICU and they're still trying to figure out what exactly is going on. My parents are here visiting, and we've all been at the hospital on and off. Rachel and Jared are staying near the hospital for now. So overwhelming and scary!
• We got hardwood-looking laminate flooring put down on our entire first floor. It was such a pain! But it looks gorgeous and I love it!
• The 3 big kids just finished 2 weeks of swimming lessons and are all finally getting pretty good!
• We've had our house on the market for about a month. We had a few showings early on, but nothing in a while, which is discouraging. I have several houses I'm in love with, but we can't make a move on anything til we sell our house! We're not planning to move far, I would just love a little more space!
• The school year is starting soon, and I'm going to be a Classical Conversations tutor for a young Foundations class. I'm a little nervous about the music and science experiments, but I think it'll be fun once I get into the swing of things!
• M will be starting 5th grade, A will be starting 2nd grade, R will be starting Kindergarten, and K is about to turn 3. I took the crib down last month and put it on the curb. It's the end of babies for us. It's very bittersweet. Babies and toddlers are my favorite. But I feel like I have my hands full, and look forward to doing fun things with the kids as they get older.
