season of change

A lot has changed in a very short time! I will start from the beginning - Keith and I made the decision to let Jace go to a regular school instead of homeschooling this year which was a really tough decision. So at the bottom of this post you will see pics of the first and last day of his homeschool enrichment program. It was SO sad to leave this because we loved it and Jace had lots of friends there (some he has been around since he was 2). We talked a lot with Jace and it was hard for him to leave too and go to a new school but I am pleased to report that he is really enjoying the new school. He started this monday and funny thing - the other kids that he went to kindergarten with whose families do not homeschool almost all attend this school. We were very blessed to get in to the school as there is a waiting list. Thank you Lord!! I am still adjusting to getting 2 kids to 2 different schools in a small window of time every morning but I know it will get better. I do not have any pics of Jace at his new school yet but I will soon.
So here we have Jace with a mohawk - dont get excited because it is already gone!! He had been asking for a mohawk for a while and 2 weeks ago he got hit in the face with a baseball while warming up before the game (notice under the left eye). We figured since he was already looking kind of rough and tumble why not let him have the mohawk. So these are the before and after pics but there is one after pic missing. See Jace decided once the mohawk was cut that he hated it!! LOL So now he has a shaved head! He looks so different! All of his friends think he looks like Aang from the last airbender so guess what he is gonna be for halloween! =) Oh well!!


1st day at enrichment program
last day at enrichment program! We will miss you guys but I know we will see you soon!!=)

Go Shorty its your birthday!!!

It was my birthday on saturday and I have been blessed with an amazing husband, family and friends!! Some of those friends were willing to step out of their comfort zones and come with me salsa dancing saturday night. We went to Gloria's in Arlington which was really far for some of them (thanks guys) so that my parents could watch the kids for us! Thanks mom and dad! We had SO much fun - I will say tho that there were way to many people and not enough A/C!! It was super hot in there once the dancing started. We really did have a great time tho and I was really proud of my hubby because I know how much of a perfectionist he is and he gave salsa dancing his best!! =) Thanks babe!! Below are the pics of my friends that came with us while we were eating dinner.
