Jill and I were sitting at the table after dinner when I smacked my lips after taking a drink. The next minute, Cami was smacking her lips like she was kissing! It was the cutest thing. Jill ran and got the camera and we snapped some precious shots!

Soccer Mom
Well, its official, I am a soccer mom! In fact, this last Saturday were our first games (Ben and Emma are both playing), Don had to work the weekend and so I took all 4 kiddos to both the soccer games and kept them entertained while still managing to cheer the respective soccer kid on during the game. Yes, I am pretty amazing! Plus, it was REALLY hot too, although it is September now, we are still in Texas and experiencing mid July/August type weather. Incidentally, we will be experiencing summer weather really until late October or November, that is all part of Texas fun.
I have to say, watching your kid play sports is pretty fun! I really got into it. I was proud of my kids too, they have never played any organized sports and joined teams who have been together for a few years and they were able to really keep up! Both Em and Ben hustled and ran their little hearts out and really stayed in the game. I had several parents express their amazement at how well they did having not played before. They each scored at least one goal and the most important part was that they really enjoyed themselves! It was fun. I look forward to more games when Don can be there with us.
I guess we are on our third week of school and all continues to go well. We met each of the teachers and had a chance to see what they are like and their rules and such. I think the kids ended up with really great teachers and I look forward to a good year for both.
The homefront is holding up well and enjoying some quiet time from 8 to 3 each day. Erick enjoys being in charge here and he and Camille are living it up having free reign with all the toys. I know I am not the only mom out there who thought I would have all the time in the world with the kids in school, but 3pm sneaks up on me way too quickly and I haven't accomplisehd what I wanted too. Oh well, it will wait.
As I mentioned above, Don worked last weekend. His whole schedule change is a good thing career wise, but a very big change for our family. It really does take the whole family working together to make this "shift" schedule work. We are focusing on the time he has off each month and trying to focus on the positive things this new schedule has to offer instead of many of the negative things that come with it. So far, so good.
I think I mentioned that Ben is now riding his two wheeler bike as well as Emma. We will get a video up soon. It is so fun to watch the kids get better and better at bike riding and progress in all areas of life. They are really good children for the most part who try and want to do what is right. I appreciate each of my chidlren and am so thankful for their healthy bodies and minds and spirits. What a blessing to be a mother and to have a husband who supports and loves me. I am truly blessed.
