fall is here....

Things have been pretty busy around here and I haven't had a chance to update my blog for awhile. Let's see, what's new....
-Madison started first grade last week. She's in a 1st/2nd split class with 27 students which sounds like a lot to me. She hasn't been too excited about it and keeps asking if she can go back to kindergarten. Hopefully things will get better for her.
-Madison also just started soccer and has her first game this weekend. Brock is her assistant coach which she things is great! Brock always seems to get sucked into all these volunteer positions:)
-Alex also started preschool last week. She's absolutely loves it. I mean who wouldn't like doing arts & crafts, singing songs and playing all morning. Sounds pretty good to me. It's been nice for me to have a few mornings a week with just one kid.
-Boston is doing great and growing like crazy! He's 17 pounds now and he's only 3 months old. I'm not sure how he got so big?! He's such a happy baby, and totally adores his older sisters. He sleeps through the night most of the time (7-8 hours) which is wonderful. We're still working on his daytime nap times. He seems to only want to sleep for 45 minutes at a time, not sure what's up with that?
- I've been back to work for a little over a month. I work per diem now,so I don't have a set schedule. I just pick up shifts when I want to work. This is working out great for us! With three kids and all their activities it's pretty busy.... Plus I still haven't found a new babysitter to replace Stacie. She was amazing but unfortunately she graduated and moved to Portland!
-Brock is doing well. Still works for Trimble. He's starting to travel more which makes things a little interesting. He has to be out of the country for two weeks in October. Not sure how I'm going to get Madison to school by 8:05!

-I think that's it for updates. I can't think of anything else too exciting going on. I'll try to update a little more now that I have a little more time.Madison on her way to school this morning

Boston playing with his favorite toy ever! He has such huge eyes. He always looks a little startled~

I can't believe Boston is 17 pounds! What a sweet little man! He has passed up little Olivia Jane, who is about 15 pounds!!! We absolutely need to get together!!! I work Sunday-Thursday, but otherwise I am pretty free!
Your family is soooooo precious!!! You have such beautiful, sweet children!!
