Jack started school last Thursday and he seems glad to be back with his friends. He was sleeping in until 10am each morning and going to bed late all summer so getting up at 7am has been an adjustment for him and me! I was only able to get a couple of pictures of the 1st day because he was not too happy with me bringing the camera into school to drop him off!

Jack starts football practice tonight and his games in a couple of weeks. Darren is going to take him and hopefully he will catch on quickly. Will starts soccer next week and Hannah will start dance the 1st week of September.

Max is doing great and even sleeping better than the other kids ever did. He gets A LOT of attention from Jack, Will and Hannah. They beg to hold him from the minute they wake up until the minute they go to bed.

He is getting bigger each day and I try to hold him as much as possible before my baby is too big. I don't want to think about him walking and talking yet. I want these nights of snuggling and sleeping on me to last forever.

Hannah told me this morning that when she get older like me and is a mommy, that she wants to have 7 babies and that she would feed them just like I do and rock them all of the time. I asked her if I could come to her house and help. She smiled and said yes. I just can't even describe how much I love that little girl. She has a big heart and is so generous.

Darren and I celebrated our 10th anniversary last Friday night. Lana watched the kids and we went out for a great dinner. I even left Max behind for a couple of hours. Darren brought home 2 dozen roses for me and a dozen for Hannah. Hannah just lights up when dad brings her flowers! I had some awesome shrimp and cheesecake and Darren had a steak of course. He also gave me a second band for my wedding ring. I am really excited about it and need to go drop my ring off so they can make the band!! I just need to find 1 hour where I can go alone first! I can't believe we have been married 10 years. It really has gone fast. Darren is such a great dad and the kids say he is the fun one. They are always asking if it is Saturday so they can be with dad. We are so blessed with everything we have been given and our healthy children. We hope we have 10 more years just like the previous ones but maybe with a little more sleep!
