2015-2016

My favorite thing of the summer was that I got to spend my days with these 6 amazing people!

(I just wish Leonard could have been home with us too!)

 

Like it or  not, the first day of school came anyway.

I asked all the kids what they want to be when they grow up.

 

Kaleb

8th grade

Music Composer or an artist or both

 

Noé

8th grade

Kindergarten teacher, dancer, and stay-at-home mom

 

Gavin

3rd grade

Toy tester for Thomas and friends train sets

 

 Teague

1st grade

Chef

  

Hiram

1 more year until he starts school

Train driver

 

Ali

3 more years until she starts school

Dancer and a mommy

(she rocks out whenever she hears music and she's always carrying around doll babies and hugging and kissing them)

 

I'm so glad I have these little ones home during the day with me.  I have lots of fun plans when Len and I are "empty nesters" but I don't want those days to come for a million years!  I see us becoming empty nesters in 4 stages:

1) after all the kids are in school

2) after Kaleb and Noé are off to college

3) after all of our kids have left home

4) after all of our kids have married

I've been a stay-at-home mom for the past 13 years, and I can't believe I'll enter stage 1 in just 3 short years (unless we have more babies ;).
