Long, Long Time No Blog!!

I can't believe I haven't blogged in 4 months!! It's been so crazy around here with 4 kids that I barely have time to shower on most days! Anyway, everyone is doing great and growing and thriving! Natalie is now 6 months old! And get this, she weighs a whopping 19 lbs! She is one big girl! She is so chunky and squishy I could just snuggle and squeeze her all day! In fact, that's what I spend most of my time doing. She is a cuddler too! When just about anyone is holding her she will just pop her thumb in her mouth and lay her head down right on your shoulder. Very cute. Some other news is that Kaitlyn just turned 5 on August 21st. She is also getting very big. TJ recenlty had a birthday too! He turned 3 on July 11th. Next is Chris who will be 10 in October! All of my kids are growing so fast. I wish they would slow down just a little bit!! School is about to start here on September 3rd. Chris is going into 4th grade and Kaitlyn will be starting Kindergarten. It's hard to believe that my baby girl is old enough to start school. And then the next week TJ will be going to preschool at our church two mornings a week. Yep, on Monday and Tuesday mornings it will just be Natalie and I!!! What ever am I going to do with such an empty house? Well, I plan to clean, clean clean!!! This house is in desperate need of a good cleaning! It's barely been cleaned all summer. I mean, I straighten up and put things away, but haven't really done any deep cleaning. So while Natalie naps and everyone else is in school I will be cleaning. And I actually can't wait! I've never been in this house with virtually no kids while cleaning. It's sad that I am so excited about cleaning. But I know the mamas with a few kids will totally get what I'm saying!! I guess I better get off. Natalie wants out of her saucer and wants some snuggles!
