Anyone there?

Life is really busy these days. There seems to be very little middle ground. Summer is slow, without structure and too often riddled with "Mom, I'm bored." Fall pushes the pendulum all the way to the other side. We have 3 kids playing soccer for the first time. They are not all playing at the same place which adds just a bit more adventure to our weekends. I've been working more than I have in 9 years. Mark is busier than ever toting kids to games, parties, pictures, etc by himself on weekends that I work. He does a fabulous job and makes it look easy!

Since the last time we blogged, our baby turned FIVE. Lindsay is a sweet little girl. She is growing up so quickly. I can't believe she is so grown. She spent the morning of her birthday at the fair with her class. She went back to the fair with her good friend MacKenzie. We took her to dinner at Chick-Fil-A, one of her favorites and then to Marble Slab.Because our weekends are so packed, we had her party on a Friday afternoon. She and a few other girls dressed in their finest gowns for a Royal Ball. The boys even joined in the fun by dressing as royalty.



Mark's birthday is Friday. He deserves a royal ball in his honor. There haven't been many birthday bashes for him since Lindsay was born. I am usually still recovering from Lindsay's party when Mark's birthday comes along.
