Changes galore!

I cannot believe it's already midway through September. Summer just flew by and I'm not looking forward to the colder weather ahead. As the season changes, it makes me reflect on all the changes we have had as well. Although we don't always like change, we must embrace it w/ positivity!! 


Let's begin shall we. Cheyenne is back in school for her senior year!! I cannot believe that this is really happening already and before we know it, she'll be a high school graduate. Yikes!!! Some of the changes for her are....she has a boyfriend. What?!?! Omg! I knew this day would come but in my perfect world it would be about 10 years from now when she is more responsible. I won't go in to details cuz it makes me sick that I no longer have control over that:( Moving on, she will hopefully be driving on her own soon. Scary, right?!?! And hopefully she will take this year to figure out what is going to happen after high school. Well hopefully it won't take her the full year. Lol. Or she could just ask her wise mother and I can tell her what I want her to do. That would make it easier for all of us:)

As for Elliott he just made the switch to the Robins class which is preschool 3 days a week!! There were many of his classmates that made the change as well so the transition worked out well. He also now sleeps in his underwear which is hilarious to me cuz he's totally Tony's mini me!! He does everything like his dad from the way he acts in the morning...grumpy(wish I could give him coffee) to the way he sleeps. He even watches TV like his dad as u can see in the picture:) So easy to love that kid!!
 
And then we have "princess" Maci. Her dad accidentally called her buddy the other day cuz that's what we call Elliott and she quickly corrected us. Maci said. "My name is not buddy, u call me baby cakes" then she turned to me and said, "and u call me princess" okayyyy miss thang! Lol. She talks so much it's such a joy to hear some of the things that come out of mouth. A big change for Maci is she is now in early preschool which she is now a penguin. She is excited about school but always have been w/ daycare so I didn't feel it was going to be a problem w/ transitioning. 


As for Tony, he is sad that racing season is over. Although he did very well for his rookie year in the modified class. He is now trying to figure out what he would like to do for next year. Even considering a late model which had its plus and minuses. He will have more time w/ the family but it will be a ton more expensive:(  Guess we'll see.

As for me, the biggest change is that Im working nights now. Yes, I got the supervisor position. Yay for me!! Although I will miss all my wonderful coworkers from days, I hope this job brings many new challenges and satisfaction in my career. Plus it seems to be working out w/ family schedules w/ kids in school and  all. Also the kids have to get used to me not tucking them in bed which makes me sad but I think in fact, this is the change I might never get used to:( I get tears thinking about it.
  
So there is just one more bout of news and change that I am dying to share. We signed papers mid July for our cottage in Baldwin. Oh the kids and Tony absolutely love it!!! It has fishing and swimming and dirt trails. I on the other hand am a city girl at heart and can't get over the thought of all the critters! Well at least the majority of the family can enjoy it!! And all the toys that we had to get to enjoy it:)

So until next time. Hopefully we won't have too many more changes to report. Bring on fall, I think we're ready. Haha.
