Last Day of Preschool

Sammy has his last official day of preschool today, and I'm feeling all of the feelings about it. He has had a wonderful experience attending preschool over the last two years, and we are so thankful for the love and attention poured out on him by his teachers. Not only has he grown physically, and academically, but the faith-based school experience has been wonderful for him. He has grown in his faith and it has set a great foundation for his education.

He is very much looking forward to summer fun and some time at home with me. I'm excited for him to be at home with me, too. 😊

I am so thankful for technology and the ability to record a photo or a video at any moment using my phone. Last night I was looking through pictures and videos (and having a little cry about how big he's gotten). I have so many moments or videos that I had captured that I just really don't remember - they weren't core memories. Much of my videos and photos are captured during everyday moments of ordinary life, and I'm so grateful to have them now. But, I absolutely wish I could go backwards in time and re-live those ordinary moments again.

I'd go back and give that baby Sammy the biggest hug if I could. 😉

I'll be back here tomorrow! XX

Friday Favorites [7-3-2026]

It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life. This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Friday Favorites [6-14-2024]

I hate to be the one to point it out...but how in the world is June almost halfway over?! I would like to hit the "slow down" button on summer, please. 😉 Like usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from our week. Here we go! You'll notice that many of my "favorites" are food related this week. One of the reasons I love summer is that the cooking is easy, and I can take some time making things I typically wouldn't have time for. Wednesday evening we grilled pork chops and I was hunting for a side dish. I found the ingredients for taco dip and we gobbled it right up. Taco dip is basically a salad, yes? Jack (and big brother!) have been loving water play this summer. It has been extra warm this week, so it's been a great way to beat the heat. We had burgers this week using my very favorite recipe . This meal is probably one of Dustin's most loved meals! Ugh. I love watermelon. I ate SO MUCH of it during my preg...

Happy, HAPPY Friday! I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha. Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday. I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha. This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
