First Soccer practice today!

Lucy and Ava are so excited to be playing soccer.... but I have to to admit, I didn't see the time coming in our life so soon that all three of our girls would be in soccer practice! I am thankful that Lucy and both want to play soccer, rather than soccer and ballet or something like that. At least they both go to the same soccer practice, which is helpful. :-) But I still have to get three kids fed and ready before heading out the door. LOL Even after one practice you can see the difference in Lucy and Ava's soccer skills. Lucy liked to stand on the field and watch the ball while she was biting her nails, and Ava would run aggressively after the ball and get upset if someone didn't kick the ball well. LOL Ava is taking this game very seriously. :-)

Lucy driving... oh no!

Hemingway... the funniest cat ever!

This is one of Hemingway's most favorite sleeping position. LOL

Sitting on top of the koi pond net is one of his favorite places to watch the fish. He's literally an inch or so above the water.

And his newest pose... praying... it's hard to tell in this photo, but his paws are actually together like he is praying!

Family!!!

Every time cousin KK comes over the girls NEED to have donuts... today was no exception!

Lucy and baby Jacob.. the first boy baby of the family!

Ava and Jacob

This smile makes me think he wants a baby boy... Okay, wishful thinking on my part!

I'm so in love.....

The most beautiful cousins around!

Oh Jeffrey... I can always count on you to make me laugh!

The family!!!! But missing sweet baby Anabella...

School lunch preperation!

The best thing that I have ever done to make my school mornings easier is to pre-make most of Maddie's lunch. Today I made over 60 sandwiches, all of which are in the freezer for easy lunch packing. I also freeze go-gurt and pre-packed nuts. I love being able to send the kids to school with a healthy lunch, and pre-making everything allows it to get done in just a few short seconds! :-) I just have to add a fruit (usually a banana or applesauce, and a veggie, and viola! Done!
