It’s been a long time since I last blogged…I mean a REALLY long time.\u00a0 Nonetheless, at least once a week I have thoughts whizzing through my mind that I feel I want to blog about….obviously that hasn’t happened!\u00a0 So, here’s to an occasional blog post!<\/p>\n

Today as the three boys and I took a tour of the elementary school Titus will be attending next year, I found myself thinking…”how did I get here?!”\u00a0 I mean, it truly wasn’t all that long ago that I was living in Vermont, leading a peaceful (well, sort of) life as a single gal.\u00a0 11 years later and what a different story \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Marriage, houses, kids, joys, trials…quite the life!\u00a0 I pride myself on not being a mom who is constantly grieving my kids growing up but sometimes I just can’t help myself.\u00a0 In just a few short months, I will be sending my oldest off to school and I am struggling today as I just keep thinking about him as my tiny (or not so tiny!) newborn who wouldn’t sleep worth a hoot and wanted rather constant attention and entertaining.\u00a0 So different from my 5 1\/2 year old who gets up in the morning and heads to the basement to play or read quietly so as to not wake his baby brother.\u00a0 So different from my 5 1\/2 year old who is devastated when spring break lasts too long and he can’t go to kindergarten prep.\u00a0 So different from my 5 1\/2 year old who is so proud of his new skills in reading, riding his bike, doing chores and more.\u00a0 For all the challenges we might face, I could not be more proud of my amazing 5 1\/2 year old!\u00a0 (And that goes for my 3 1\/2 year old and 10 month old too of course!)
