Well, at least this time it was less than 10 months between updates! We had a pretty good summer filled with ups (finally getting our back yard finished!) and downs (a solid month in there where at least one of us was sick). Perhaps I'll get back on the blogging train and update on some of that stuff.
For today, here's an update on each of my kids:
Ruth is a happy, chubby baby. She's already six months old (what?!), and is still near the top of the charts in weight and height. In the last couple weeks she has pretty well mastered scooting. Now if only she'd stay still long enough to figure out how to sit up!
Sam is hilarious when he is in a good mood. He babbles all the time, but hasn't really started talking much yet. He started nursery in May. He loves milk and Pentatonix videos. He's a true mommy's boy, and I can't get enough of his cuddles.
Sarah suddenly seems all grown up. She is thrilled to be starting preschool in a couple weeks, and loves to tell everyone--strangers at the store included--about it. She still loves dancing. One of her favorite things to do is make up songs and then dance around while singing them. I'll have to get a video of that sometime.
James...is in first grade. (Whaaaa?!) We're just finishing up the first week of school, and he is adjusting wonderfully. Unlike his mother, who has to resist the urge to hold on to him and not let go every morning. He loves school, and so far is handling the transition to his Spanish Immersion school quite well! I have a video interview we did of him a couple days before school started, but I realized that it's on Paul's phone instead of mine. I'll have to post that one separately. For now, here are a couple first day of school pics that most of you have already seen on Facebook:
Time continues to pass too quickly. The daily struggle of trying to live and cherish these precious moments while fulfilling all the mundane day to day requirements of four little people is ongoing. I sure love them, though. The heart's capacity to love is awesome.

I did a double take when I saw your name in my feed! Glad to see you back! ;)
So glad you are blogging again! I love the videos, so cute. And I love you and miss you!
I tried to post a comment when I first saw this but apparently it didn't work! Probably because I was doing it on my phone. Anyway, like Natalie, I am SO glad you are blogging again. Being this far away from all my nieces and nephews is definitely not my favorite. This made my day and helped with that. :) Love you!
So, OK, it's now May 7, 2019 and Gramma needs an update! Sending much love 'n hugs from Utah!
(And, I checked I'm not a robot, but I may be lying since I no longer have tonsils, adenoids, appendix, uterus, cervix, and my artificial toes, knees, and shoulder set off TSA alarms that can be heard in the next county!)
