romping and rocking

Have you ever been at a point in your life where simultaneously everything is going great and terribly at the same time?

That is where i am at. My kids are doing excellent. Parker has turned a corner and feels a little more comfortable with the world and hence is a lot happier and a joy to be around. I felt my work was complete when today he shrieked with excitement when we drove by a construction site:

"Mom!! Mom! Did you see that? That was AWESOME!!"

"Yes parker that was awesome!"

Toby is happy. Happy to learn and go to school. I am so thankful for his teacher and the school we chose. He hangs out by her side all day and she helps him along whenever he needs it. As a result his reading is coming along and he's almost on track with the grade one expectations. We've cancelled speech therapy until september as it was all becoming too stressful for everyone.

Eliza is getting ready for kindergarten and talking about it a lot. That's the first step and the first step forward we've made in a long time.

Tristan is happy and beautiful inside and out. We look forward to survivor together, making bets on how long shane will last and reading blackbird's survivor wrap-up. I can't believe that i have such an amazing daughter. I feel so lucky.

Things are coming together for me. I'm figuring out how to balance all the different aspects of my life and finally beginning to plan some time for me when i have three kids in school in september. Masters swimming? Yoga? Plus spending time with parker one on one. I haven't done that since i had only tristan.

I'm super excited to join the ranks of the most awesome Rock-n-Rompers and announce the first ever canadian Rock-n-Romp vancouver island style in july. No details have come together, but will soon. Stay tuned!
