A year goes by so fast and yet a year ago seems like forever



I guess I'm feeling nostalgic which is probably Tucker's fault. Having him go to Kindergarten in tough! He has grown up so fast. And when I think about our family a year ago, I can't believe how much has changed. Of course we now have Luka, we live in a different house, my stomach (and other things) are much flatter now. A year ago I was miserable being pregnant but was looking forward to a baby shower that ended up being more fun than I had even anticipated. And I made the Lightning McQueen car (sponsored by evenflo instead of Rusteze) for the boys in an effort to make them feel less left out with all the attention on the baby. Now it is harder to go anywhere with three kids- three kids to get dressed, fed, in the car, out of the car, keep happy at the store, three opinions to listen to in the car (yes, babies do have opinions about stuff). And it is more work - more kids to put to sleep at bedtime, more food to make, more messes to clean up, more laundry to do, more trips to the doctor etc. However, all that being said, I think I'll keep them all. :) I also get to have three times the jokes ('Knock , knock' 'Who's there?' 'Poop!' lots and lots of giggling then 'Poop who?' 'Don't Cry' -for the record I know that isn't how it goes but I like Clay's version, it's pretty funny too), three times the hugs and kisses (Luka's loves are nice, but little boy hugs are pretty great when you know they probably won't always do that), three times the company (I still panic when I do go to the store alone, I don't even know what to do ), three times the 'help', etc. They are a handful, but they're mine and I sure love them.

oh! you are so right!! This year has gone by so fast and I can't believe how completely topsy turvy my life has changed too.
I know it's hard to go on outings, but I'm sure glad when we can. Thanks for the fun summer. :)
