Happy 6th Birthday Bugs!!

It is hard to believe that my sweet McKenna is now 6 years old. I can remember like it was yesterday finding out I was having a girl then I couldn't seem to wait to kiss her, dress her up and watch her grow into a beautiful young lady. Here I am six years later, and we have done just that. I am lucky to be McKenna's mommy. She is full of love, curiosity and she looks at life in such a magnificent way. She sees the good in people (just like her daddy), she is a girly-girl, but is fascinated with bugs and finding them in our garden. The patience she has with her brother is tremendous. When he gets upset, she reminds to "stay calm and use his words", she really loves him. She is about to complete kindergarten. When she entered kinder she knew her letters and a few words, now she is reading as she would like to say on a 2nd grade "plus" reading level. I would love to stop time and keep her this age forever, but as we all know they must grow up. I hope her passion she has for people continues as she goes through life. Happy Birthday bugs, mommy loves you SO very much!!

Busy Times!

Just realized I haven't blogged in a few weeks....busy times!! Last weekend which was Mother's Day, was perfect! On Saturday my mom and I went to lunch then I took her to see RENT. I saw it on Broadway so I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't live up to the expectation...It was just as good. I had to be on my best behavior b/c I was with my mom (and she is new to the RENT experience). I found myself wanting to stand in my seat and sing every single song!! It was fabulous...Not convinced my mom loved it, but at least she can say she has seen it right? On Sunday we went to lunch, then I came home and took a nap, can't remember the last time I got to sneak one of those in! That evening I went with my girlfriend Joy to see the Mathew M. movie, we ate popcorn and pretended we didn't have kids at home with their daddies! It was fun to get away. This weekend I have a hair appointment (long overdue to see James), a 5K on Saturday then my girlfriend Beth is graduating with her masters so we are celebrating with her....The time is flying by and we only have 15 days of school left. I am not counting or anything. Looking forward to a fun summer with the kids!!
