Saturday Mornings

We are right in the midst of basketball season.  Kirk is coaching this year and it is very serious.  He bought a clipboard/whiteboard and a whistle.  The team has learned and runs plays.  I think it is funny to see these little boys so complex.  This Saturday our game is at 8:00 in the morning.  Bummer.

Love Notes

This morning I was packing lunches for my boys and I finished by writing them a little "love note."  And that is just a little note telling them that I love them and to have a great day.  As I wrote this morning and then signed it "Mom" I was overwhelmed that I was actually their mom.  All growing up, I looked forward to being a mom and now that I am, I love it.  It seems so easy to become side-tracked with friends, self-improvement, work, social things, etc. that sometimes I actually forget that I am a Mom to four boys.  It is the most important thing I do, so I guess I had better work on it!

Piano Recital

Does anyone else have this problem?  My boys obviously don't know how to smile.  Mostly just the twins, but with Ethan's missing teeth, he is just as goofy.  This is just painful.  

Saturday my boys played in their piano recital.  It was sooo much fun to watch them.  All of the kids who participated are friends and neighbors and nearly all were boys!  We live in such a great neighborhood.  I am grateful for all of the wonderful friends and neighbors that we are surrounded by.  

After viewing the first picture, this was our second try, not sure if it was much better.

 Afterwards, we were treated to yummy food and the boys couldn't keep their hands off of the piano.  Love this picture!
