It's crazy. First off.. School starting in August.. And then.. 2 of my 3 are now in school?! When did this happen?!
I know it would happen eventually but no one warns you when you are planning nursery colors/details, etc, that your heart will break every year because time is flying! Ok.. Maybe someone said something like.."don't blink!" But in all honesty.. Didn't know the heart could handle so much!
Drake is 6 which means he is starting first grade! Wha?! We just met Mrs Denney and Mrs Jones at King Springs like... Yesterday? For kindergarten?! Yikes!!
And now Mailey is starting kindergarten.. She is extremely excited and can't wait to ride the bus with Drake.. Oh my..
Colton has a couple more years (maybe just 1?) with me and his Grandparents caring for him before preschool and Kindergarten.. So we are not yet an empty nester for school but almost!
Promise I will post pictures from their first days!!

Moving on up... to Northern Kentucky!
It's true.. about two months ago.. my husband and I decided to make a change for our family and move to Northern Kentucky in June (2015). We are waiting for our son to finish kindergarten in May and we will pack it all up and make the move.
This move has been on our hearts for a long time.. we wanted to wait for a few things to be in place and the timing to be right. At one point in all this waiting.. a family member said, "why not now?" meaning this next Summer.. and we both said, "why not?!" We have both families blessings and most of our friends knew it was inevitable.. we both are very excited!!
Drake will finish up kindergarten this Spring and be in 1st grade (time is flying!). He has enjoyed (and still enjoys) riding the school bus and coming home every day telling me the color he got in class, which describes the day he has had behaviorally. He reads very well for his level, which I should have known he would be able to do one day, but its mind boggling for me all at the same time. I want time to slow down.. its all going by so fast!! He is so proud of his work and when he doesn't have a good day... he is very quiet because he knows he has to work harder.. its fun/heartbreaking seeing him grow up?! I know I am not the only one?!
My Mailande.. sweet 4-year old Mailey.. what can I say about my artistic, singing, pre-K girl?! She is very (VERY!) excited about going to school next year with "her Drakie." She is excited to use her new backpack and lunchbox (purchased early due to a sale, yay!). She is currently being homeschooled by our wonderful friend Shawmeeka (who also cares for Colton) and she loves telling us what she has had for lunch/snack.. every.single.day : ) She is articulate for a 4-year old which is good.. but has me on alert for words I didn't know she has learned... and songs, for that matter, lol! She came home one day singing, "I'm so excited! And I just can't describe it!" I gently asked her what she was singing.. she said, "You know.. that song when you are SO excited!" I smiled and said, "Do you mean.. I'm so excited! I just can't hide it?!" That was the one : )
And finally an update on my 3 year old, my Colton. He is our silly-sweet-wild child-holds-you-tight Moose.. I can't describe how much I love him and am amazed by him all at the same time. He is literally the one who trumps the house rules and dances because he thinks that will excuse him from some questionable behavior. I can say that he has us on alert at all times because we never know what to expect from him... he is 3. That is all that needs to be said..... hahhahahahaha!!!!
That all said.. I will fly out of Atlanta for a while.. teaching some flight attendants some days and being a regular flight attendant for the Great Delta!! I love my job.... didn't know I could have so much fun and have SO many wonderful "family" friends to work with... I can't complain... I love my job and the people that I spend so many days with... just love it!!
I will miss my Georgia fam and friends.. but we will always be able to drive/fly home to see everyone every so often.. so I know we won't be too far away?!
