pretty leaves falling with color.
and a month into school days.
noah is my forth grader.
has lana's forth grade teacher.
he's cool. we like him.
noah's cool too. we like him too.

he's playing lacrosse for the first time.
sort of enjoying. hoping he has a better season next time.
signed up for basketball. very excited.
he's HUGE! i can't seem to keep up with his growth.
wearing eddie's clothes from last year.
this summer he conquered his fear of amusement park rides.
he's brave and can handle roller coasters now. click on the video and see how much he enjoys his ride.
he's a sweetheart. keeps telling me lately what a great mom i am.
(maybe it's because i finally gave him his ipod back after a long time.)
love this 9 year old.
lana is almost 12. crazy. crazy. crazy.
she's my 6th grader this year. loves! middle school.
chris and i were very nervous she was going to have a hard time.
last year was awful. awful year. awful teacher.

but she's laughing out loud again. she's chatty cathy after school.
she has funny stories to tell.
she's fun to have around.
even does her homework. alone. i'm glad i don't have to repeat the 6th grade this year.

she's decided she wants to become a photographer.
playing soccer again.
she's a natural with little ones. they love her. she loves them.
beautiful.
i love her.
eddie is big man on campus. well, at least in his eyes he is.
he's my freshman.

he decided over the summer to cut the fro. he's regretting that decision.
but he really wanted a flat top.

only 14. acts older most the time.
he's my comedian.
he's my gentleman.
he loves seminary and has been heard saying it's the best thing about high school.
he also loves shoes. he talks to me about shoes a lot. shows me pictures of shoes.
asks me to buy him shoes.
takes money to church to buy shoes.
he is big into lacrosse.
played travel over the summer.
playing jv this year.
it's fun to watch him play.
talks about lacrosse jackets too.
really do enjoy having him around.
he's been super kind and sweet to everyone that lives at our house too.
love him.
ceily jayne is awesome.
we always have more fun when she's around.
she likes to sleep, so we really enjoy her when she crawls from her bed covers.

she's sweet. turns 17 in a month.
loves art. enrolled in two art classes this year.
hates to drive.

STILL waiting for her to get her drivers license.
doesn't have a desire to get her drivers license though.
she probably has realized she wont be able to take selfies anymore in the car if she's the one driving.
she's cute, and charming, and fun, and funny, and witty. wears her heart on her sleeve.
makes me laugh. makes me happy. never a dull or a quiet moment when she's in the room.
beautiful inside and out.
love these kids. a lot.
they drive me completely crazy at times. why can't they keep their rooms clean? or at least clean them when i ask the first 10 times? why can't they shut cupboard doors? why don't they cook me dinner every night?
i was telling someone the other day how i miss my little babies.
but there's something really good about sitting down with your older children and they talk to you and you listen and your heart swells because they are good and making good choices.
then we laugh together and i wish it would never end.
