Life Lately, The Littles Edition

The Little's have been busy this past week.  Sports, Removal of Braces, College Visits and a Big Birthday!

Brandon Wrestling won 1 match, lost the other.

Brianna 3place hurdles and 2 place long jump.

Then this happened.  Where did the time go.  I swear it feels like just a month ago she had them put on.  For her it seemed like a lifetime ago.

So Beautiful.  I can't get over how old she looks.  She went in as my baby girl and came out this gorgeous teenager.

Brandon had 2 college visits this week.  First off he went to Army for a Prospect Camp/Visit.

He did very well.  Several amazing goals!

Then he went to visit Marquette University.  Visited with the Coach for a couple of hours.  Campus was beautiful.  He seems very excited with the prospect of playing for them.  I can't wait to see where his dreams take him.  One thing I know for sure, he will end up where he's suppose to.

We celebrated this little goobers "15" Birthday on Sunday night.  Boarding School problems, can't spend the day with them on their birthdays.

All she wanted for her birthday (not) was her ears pierced.  Funny how she hates to wear earrings, complains all the time.  Teenagers!

Awww my little goober, where has time gone!  Miss my baby, but love the relationship I have with her now!

January

our january has been filled with cleaning, organizing, re arranging rooms (yet again), our first snow (be it a dusting), updating calendars, lacrosse, lacrosse, lacrosse, wrestling, track, meltdowns, sickness  & huge news (updating later this month).

This is a little late in posting and years ago I resolved to not making resolutions but I really like this list:

 1.   Schedule some fun time every day with my love

 2.   Stop overthinking

 3.   Relax more

 4.   Let myself off the hook

 5.   Remember my true worth

 6.   Be prepared to take a risk

 7.   Take my dreams seriously

 8.   Make myself a priority

 9.   Keep a sense of humor

10.   Appreciate all I have

a new normal...That's where we find ourselves.  Our nest is once again "not so empty".

So this guy has moved home and is actively searching for a job.  Not an easy task!

New Year's Week Wrap Up

2015

Happy New Year!  2015 already, where has the time gone.  I guess it's true the older you get the faster time goes.  I can't believe I'm 50, been with Wil for 33 years, and have a 22, 21, 16 & soon to be 15 year old. Wow!

Spent the last couple of days of December in Tampa, Florida.  Brandon was on the Madlax National U-15 Team.  They were Tournament Champions!  Best out of 40 U-15 teams.

What else do you do after playing lacrosse all day, you go enjoy the beach at Sunset...duh!  Absolutely gorgeous!

Got our fill of yummy Cuban Food! nom nom

And then it was time to head home back to the rest of our crew and back to CRAZY!
