Long Time, No Blog

I know, it's been WAY too long since I've updated my blog. The problem is with our desktop computer, for some reason not wanting to upload my pictures. I always like putting pictures on here with my update, but oh well. Hopefully Curtis can look at the computer( I never know what to do with the thing.) and I can post some pictures of our summer soon. But until then, here's a bit of an update. We have spent most of the summer at the pool. Thank goodness for the free pools. One of the perks of military housing. Hayden learned to swim this summer and Tate was quite efficient himself, knowing his boundaries. This all made for a relaxing time for me many days at the pool since I could sit in a chair to the side and read a book. It was so nice not to have a little one I have to keep focused on at all times. The first week of August we went home to KY for a few days to visit our families. We only stayed a few days because Curtis' family had come to our house during June and we stayed at the beach for 4 days, so nice and relaxing. A couple of weeks later my mom and dad came down for a week. In the middle of July, Arabella joined the swim team here. She has really enjoyed it. Unfortunately with the start of school she has had to quit because they've changed the practice schedule. My kids are big sleepers and go to bed at 7pm. She wasn't getting to bed until 830 or 9 on practice nights. Maybe when she's a little older we'll try it again. Now she and Hayden are doing a gymnastics class. My most exciting news is that all 3 kids are now in school! Hayden turned 5 and started pre-K. Tate just turned 3 and is in a MWF preschool class. Arabella will be turning 7 in November and is in 1st grade. They all LOVE going to school. It is so nice for me to have 3 mornings a week to have some time for myself. I'm attempting to start running again, starting with the couch 25K program. There's a 5K on October 3rd that I'm hoping to run the whole thing. Praying that my foot will cooperate with me. It's nice to have time to work on the house or do my bible study when I'm alert and don't have someone at my side every 5 minutes needing something. Needless to say, I think we're done with having babies. I've wanted a 4th one for a long time, hoping for another girl. But now that I've had a little alone time, I don't think I want to give that up. It really helps me to balance my life. All right, I've rambled on. I think that's everything for the update. I hope to post some pictures soon of our summer. Next time I'll try not to wait so long to write.
