Go Blue!

There is something to be said for the little years when you're living in the trenches surrounded by babies who take so much from you. It's those years that you stay home. Most of the time you're tied down by a nap schedule anyway and staying home is easier than leaving the house. I'm a homebody so staying home doesn't bother me so much. Aiden is getting older and staying home for days on end doesn't happen often even though Sage is still little and we've got a baby on the way. We're in the throws of soccer season and that's how we spend 3 nights a week...sitting at the soccer field. Along with seasonal soccer next week Aiden also has soccer camp all week so I'll get my first taste of living in the car and being the taxi mom.

All that to say these last few seasons of soccer have paid off and Aiden is turning into a little power house. His foot work is improving, his accuracy is improving, he' s got confidence and drive and he and a teammate have even started working together passing the ball when all the other kids are still just in one big pack on the field. We frequently get to cheer for all the goals he scores and he is in 7th heaven on soccer days. 

Go Blue!

So intense!

#5 is my favorite player!

Stay with it, Aiden!

Love the facial expressions that the camera catches

WOW! Great job, Aiden! You are one soccer athlete for sure. You will have to teach Elyse some skills before she starts this month.

LOVE all the action pictures too, shows how much he loves the game.

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...
