Whoa!

It's really been a while since I've been on here!  So much has happened in the last 5 months.  A shortened version is this:

My oldest got her driver's license, a car, turned 17, and got her braces off (again!  She had to get them back on for 6 months due to some shifting that occurred after some dental work).

My younger daughter finished up another winning season of school softball!

She also completed her first season on a travel team this summer.  She actually played on 2 teams over the summer!  The team she played with last fall formed a summer league team that played games (double headers) on Monday and Wednesday evenings.  Her travel team played games (also double headers) on Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as tournaments nearly every weekend - Friday evenings, all day Saturdays, and until they lost on Sundays.  Needless to say it was a VERY busy summer, but very fun, too!

My "baby" boy turned 10 and finished up elementary school!  :(

Two weeks from today, I they will be starting a new year of school.  My oldest will be a senior (WHAT?!?  Yes, a freaking SENIOR!), my younger daughter will be a freshman (again, WHAT?!), and my boy will be in 5th grade, which in our school district is intermediate school.  Fall will be another busy season with color guard, fall softball (much to my disappointment she won't be doing volleyball anymore - boo!), and football!  Bring it on!

Fourteen

Today, my middle child turned 14!  She is a beautiful, smart, athletic, musically talented, and funny girl.  She and I butt heads a lot but, she will always be my baby and I love her more than life itself!

This is a picture of her from when she was about 18 months old.  It has always been one of my favorites:

And here is a recent one of what I call her "model pics":

Friday evening, I took her and 3 of her friends to the mall for some shopping and dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (her favorite restaurant).

Her friends then stayed the night and the four of them proceeded to stay up all night playing video games.  One of the three stayed again last night, and then my girl had softball practice with her travel team this evening.  All in all a good birthday weekend, I think.
