It's been busy!

I cannot believe that I have let my posts go for this long! Life has been absolutely crazy for my family these past few months! We purchased our own home about 2 months ago, and we have been busy getting the house remodeled. All of the flooring downstairs is coming out, and we're putting our own, new flooring in. I am very excited about that, however living in the construction zone can be a bit tiring. It's all worth it in the end though!

The girls are adjusting well to living in a new town. Kaelyn starts kindergarden in July, and she's very excited about being back in school. Almost everyday she asks if it's time to go back to school yet. She's also taking Ballet lessons. She went with my mom to see the Nutcracker over Christmas-time, and she fell in love. We got her signed up for Ballet lessons, and she is catching on very quickly! She has her recital coming up in a little over a week:-)

Elyssa is growing like a weed! That girl is almost as tall as Kaelyn, and she's 18 months younger. I get so many people asking me if they're twins when I'm out running errands. I think it's funny now, but I know once high school comes, Kaelyn's going to hate having her little sister not be littler than her. I was blessed and was able to get Lyssa signed up for preschool for this upcoming fall. I am so happy she was able to make it in. She's going to be going for 3 hours a day, 5 mornings a week. I told her the happy news this morning, and her response was (of course!) "Do I get to take my Tinker Bell backpack?" It was very cute!

Brooklyn is now 20 months old, and growing up too fast! She's finally starting to say a few words. She can say: hi, wow, no (surprise surprise), mama, dada, papa, and wa-wa (water). There's probably more that she says, my mind is just blank right now. Brooklyn has also discovered that she can fight back when her sisters are bugging her. Her thing now is to walk up to her unsuspecting sisters and pull on their hair. She has a good grip too. There have been a couple times where she pulled out quite a few hairs. She's also perfected the art of shrieking whenever one of the older two takes something away from her. You'd think that I'd be used to this change by now, but it's still a shock to my system seeing my sweet innocent little babies become a full blown toddler!

That's pretty much my life currently. I am going to try to get better at this (yah, you've heard that before from me). I also will try and get some more current pics of the girls posted along with some pics of my house!
