Silas Graduates Preschool

Silas my middle son, was a big boy from the time he could walk. He had the most challenges and developed a drive of determination to meet challenges head on from day one. He always preferred to just do it himself. I always cherish the moments he lets me snuggle him and hold him close, because out of all three boys the chances are rare and far between. If I can catch him, or pull him out a tree long enough to give him a smooch he quickly wipes it off. There is something special about a middle child. Not quite the big kid and not quite the baby, a special place in a mom's heart for her middle child. He goes on a scooter ride and comes back with sticks tucked in his pocket and leaves clutched in his little hands. His eyes are always in the sky at the flying birds, or nose to the ground saving some wondering ant. He has already informed me I am only allowed to walk him to Kindergarten the first day, after that I just gotta let him do it on his own. Needless to say, I was a teary mess tonight. I felt his little hand slip from my grasp and see him setting off in amazing ways, that only a mom knows her child is capable of. I know you are thinking, "Sonshine, come on it's preschool graduation!" To me, and to Silas its much more. Time moves too quickly and steals moments like these at a frightening pace. Cowboy up son, this world is yours for the taking.

 

Swinging around!

 

Josh and the boys created a tire swing in the front yard one Sunday while I was getting groceries. The kids, (josh included), have had more fun on the tire swing then on all the toys in the backyard. It was a beautiful day today and the kids smiles made my fingers itch for my camera. Shrieks and giggles can be heard with lots of "Higher daddy!" Josh tried to take a spin on the swing too but a few many circles left dad looking for solid ground.

Our baby at 31weeks

 

Today we did our ultrasound of our baby girl! I was anxious to hear another confirmation of the baby being a girl! She looked perfect. She weighs just under 4 pounds and is showing hair with some chubby rolls on her chest and arms. The boys were able to attend the ultrasound and couldn't believe how she looked. They got to talk to her and she even gave them a smile. I feel very blessed with this gift and I am so excited to give Josh a girl because I sure have 3 momma's boys! God is good!

Mothers Day

 

A special day indeed! On Friday, I enjoyed tea with Silas at his Mother's Tea social for preschool. He sang some sweet songs that touched my heart. He starts kinder next year, so this was a special day for me. Malakai made me several things at school for mothers day, he started planning Mother's day breakfast on Saturday. He made a delicious waffle sandwich with peanut butter, bananas, and strawberries! The kids got me a new book and a book light because they know how much I love the read. On Monday, I got to attend Zion's Muffins for moms at his preschool. He did an amazing job and made me cry. He is so shy in front of people, but he sang his little heart out. He had a sweet hand print and card to give me. I am blessed with amazing kids who show me love in the best way! My table had jars of flower bouquets that they worked on all weekend. Thank you God for these amazing kids!
