Life has been so incredibly busy. I had to go to Austin to a training the week before school started. Cory, the kids and his sister Kristy met me there on Wednesday of that week. We had a great visit with Cory's dad who moved to the Austin area in March. After I got out of class on Friday we made a mad dash to San Antonio. Zachary wanted to be sure and take in the Alamo. We visited there several years ago but he didn't remember. We also got to visit with my Aunt Judy and Uncle Rick. It was great seeing them and I'm so glad they got to meet Maddox. And of course we took a trip to Sea World. The kids had fun but it was so hot. I have to say Maddox was a Super Trooper that day. He did awesome!
School started back with a bang. Zachary started 3rd grade and Lexi started Junior High this year. Zach is already in full swing with football practice and has his first game next week. Cory is helping coach this year and I am playing the role as team mom again this year. Needless to say it is keeping us very busy. Lexi started band this year and is practicing hard on her new flute. All in all we are settling in. Cory is happy to have a little bit of a break. Maddox was scheduled to start daycare after the kids went back to school but we made the decision to keep him home. We just couldn't let him go. So he will continue to hang out with Daddy on his days off and his wonderful Nana keeps him on the days that both Mommy and Daddy have to work. It is so cute to see the way he lights up when he sees his Daddy. Just like myself Cory didn't get much time with the other kids when they were little as it seemed like we worked all the time so I think it's great that he is getting it this time.
And just in case you missed the announcement.....we are expecting again! Maddox is going to be a big brother in early March. Crazy to think that in less than 6 months we will be holding another beautiful blessing. We will find out the sex in just a few weeks. The boys of course would be happy with another boy. Lexi is pleading for a little sister. And of course the only thing that really matters is that the baby is healthy. We will for sure update as soon as we know.
So sorry it has taken me this long to update....I am really disappointed in myself. Hopefully we will get into the swing of things and I can find time soon. Here are a few random pictures from the last month or so. May God Bless You All!
