Where does the time go???

I sort of dropped off the face of the earth so it seems!

Life has been pretty normal, for us anyway! The kids are all back to school and doing GREAT!! Jakob has not had quality time with the principal this year....as opposed to at least weekly in 2008....I guess all the meds he was on really didn't help (I should have been a doctor......) He is having a much better time in school and I don't dread answering the phone. Noah (who is going to be 7 this week) is under the radar as always...still loves his gifted day of school each week and jumps out of bed on fire on that day! Levi is just growing up too fast...my soon to be five year old spent the night with a buddy for the first time last night. I missed him so much. He missed me too, I think....and ended up in the bed of the buddy's 16 year old sister. That's our boy! Vita has evicted Yana from their bedroom, so Yana is now in her own room...this is a big step for a kid who is use to sharing a room with 5 other people. She seems to like it and I think the time is right. Of all the kids, I fear Yana will be the one to bankrupt us on groceries. She has gone from a tiny little girl body to a 14 year old body...that is liked by a boy named Riley! Thankfully, she is shy at school....not at home though! Vita is enjoying school more and more as she makes more friends. I think she is nervous about the father/daughter dance....she should have asked to see David's alleged "moves" before asking him to be her date!

The girls went bowling for the first time this weekend...and loved it. I think if they hadn't had bumpers, the love would not have been there! Tomorrow is MLK day, so no school. They have no idea who he is, and don't care....all they care about is that he scored them a day off school.

After Noah hits the big 07 this week, we will start figuring out Vita's sweet 16. One thing I can promise with 100% certainty.....there will be no driving/car component to her birthday...but maybe a part-time job is in her future!
