Around here...

To say that life has been "busy" lately, would be the understatement of the year. I sometimes long for those days when the kids were young and we had no school obligations or extracurricular activities to race off to. Some days, I'd be so bored I'd just have to schedule us to do something... anything!... to get out of the house.
Now, I look at my calendar and I just about cringe to see everything we have going on in a week. But, of course, it is of my own doing. No one forced me to sign my kids up for 400 activities in one semester. I get that from my Mom who also signed me up for everything under the sun (ahhh... cello at age 3, anyone else?!?)

Even little Ariana has gotten in on the game. She's joined her first activity... gymnastics!
She absolutely loves it and it is just adorable watching her. I can't believe my little 2 year old is "big" enough to be in her own class!

Balance beam!

Besides all of the activities, we are busy with school as well. We are in the full swing of things and have established a pretty good schedule. I can't believe we are in the middle of our 4th week!
Here's my studious little dude with the pencil behind his ear ;)
... and my big girl who's holding up her Science book from our Co-Op (school).
And last, but definitely not least, our sweet little baby boy is growing bigger and bigger every day. We are all just crazy in love our little guy. He's such a sweet baby. He's given us a few smiles already and I've (almost) caught them on camera.

... I know he looks a little more "startled" than smiling in this photo- but it's hard to get good picture! By the time I see him smiling and race to get the camera- his smile has started to turn into that puzzled look! LOL!
Here's a better one of him smiling. Of course, that's cause Daddy was holding him- and around here, Daddy's the funny one and Mom's the.. well- you know... Mom.

And when he's not busy smiling and snuggling with us, he's resting up for the next big playtime... or trying to shield himself from more pictures (please! Mom.... enough already!) ;)
