Friday Catch-up!

Are we back in school or what?!  Busy, busy!  But also more peace in the mornings for me and the girls, which means I'm trying to cram even more into my days!  I need to focus more on taking moments for peace, moments to just "be".  I wrote about this in a post over at BC today...

We have resumed peace around here on the nursing front.  Baby G and I are back in our groove and both SOOO much happier than we were last week at this time.  I called my doc and talked to my favorite nurse, who said I did the right thing getting a second opinion and not to worry about telling the doc until G's 6mos. appointment.  Perfect.  Procrastination will give me time to work up a good story and muster up enough confidence and courage to say my piece.

On Saturday, we jumped head-first into a new soccer season.  This fall, all three boys will be playing while GG and I manage their (often overlapping) game schedules.  GG is actually coaching T's team, which is fun for the two of them and wonderful because they are joining up with one of his buddies from preschool and his dad.  M is on the same team as last season and will have 6 players on the field now.  Strategy and team playing are more important than ever now and he seems to like it.  We are seeing him cater toward a defensive position, but we'll see what the coach has in store.  He's having fun and that's the bottom line.  J had his first "meet the coach" gathering Saturday and we were all in attendance to watch and cheer.  He was all-smiles and thought the practice was so funny.  I caught him chuckling several times as they played games with the coaches.  Super cute.  Here are some pics we caught of the family...

Can you tell it was sunny? :)

On Tuesday, little man J started preschool.  He was so eager after watching his brothers already at school for a week.  He seems to have a nice, calm, organized teacher, who drew a class of young, crazy kids!  lol.  She's already written a note to the parents about encouraging listening skills at home, etc., etc.  Yikes!  We are hoping J can rise up and be a leader and helper to make her life easier!  Go J!  Here he is on the first day...

All in all, it's been a great week as we look ahead to a pretty relaxing weekend.  The boys all have games tomorrow and it will be the one time this season that we can attend all of them!  It will be 4 fun-filled hours of soccer and driving between fields.  Joy!!  But this is what we live for and we love it!

Blessings and prayers today from G-Ville,
