Time just flies by

I have several things I want to post and just no time to do it these days! Here's a quick highlight of our summer......



1. Swim Team was a HUGE hit with Roman! He did fantastic placing 2nd several times in individual freestyle and backstroke and swimming his relay team to 1st place in their final meet. He even made it to Champs his first summer out in both Relay Medley and Freestyle Relay. At the awards ceremony he was given the Coaches Award which goes to the kid with the best attitude, a role model, spirited and encouraging, and always willing to work. They mentioned how every morning he's right on time running into the pool, kicking off his shoes and shirt and diving right in eager to get started despite the early 8 am hour. Now, anyone who knows us knows we are never on time for anything! LOL This was 100% all Roman! He got sick of waiting for daddy and the girls to drag out of bed and early on began getting himself up and out the door riding his scooter to the pool to ensure he wasn't late. He is also not typically a morning person at all. Getting him up for school and out the door by 9:20 is a tiring task which just goes to further show just how much Roman loved swim team!!!



2. Teeth are falling out everywhere!!! Hopey lost 2 more teeth this summer and just last night Bethany lost her very first tooth! She was soooooooooooooo excited! She fell on Friday and busted her mouth knocking the tooth loose. Upon further inspection we quickly noticed that her permanent tooth was already in placed and surfaced, so she would have lost it in the next few weeks anyway. We left it be for a few days to let the pain dull and the gum heal some, but last night it was poking her and just barely hanging on and for the first time she let me touch it without screaming and that's about all it took to fall out. She squealed with excitement and nearly missed the toothfairy as it was pushing midnight before she finally settled down and drifted off to sleep.



3. Baby appears to be doing well and growing so far. Our big u/s is coming up later this month!

4. Cheerleading and football season are kicking off. WOW, already??

5. Bike riding - The girls are enjoying learning to ride their bikes and Roman just took off one day on his.... which he has refused to ride or even try since we refused to put training wheels on it! AS usual with him, when he was ready off he went with full confidence!

Okay, there's a lot more, just little time these days!
