Daddy's home!

The boys have two highlights during the day.  The first one being Daddy's arrival home from work.  Both of them run to the door.  Both line up for hugs.  It's very endearing...for the most part.  I wouldn't trade their love for their Dad for anything.  But really?  Of course Tom is at work all day working for us.  I can't thank him enough.  But let's not forget me...the mama...the one who gave up working, the one who wipes noses, sits on the floor, reads Chicka Chicka Boom Boom countless time, the one who instructs, cares for, and raises the next great generation. Let's not forget her.  Sometimes I think it would be so wonderful to be the novelty parent for just a couple days.  I want to walk through the door and have everyone excited to see me!  HAH!  The boys better end up as President of the United States to thank me for the years of raising them into real men.  Well, maybe not President.  I don't think I'd wish that job on my worst enemy. :)  I do expect them both to grow up to be gentlemen, call me Mama til their dying days, and phone me weekly...at least. :) 

So, after Daddy comes home the first thing the boys want to do is wrestle.  The nightly wresting match is highlight number 2 in their day. Wrestling is something I just don't do.  I claim ladylike behavior as my excuse (but I know I could take any of them, even their dad, if I had to).  Hehe. Every single night the living room becomes a wrestling mat.  The furniture gets moved and the pillows become boxing gloves.  Every night I yell "be careful!" as I set the table, and then clear the table during round two.  Even Sagey joins in.  I have a little bit on video....I even got Sagey practicing his latest skill.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
