happy 2014?!

let's just skip over the fact that i have completely slacked in the updating of this blog. rest assured we are all alive and well. life is just a little more hectic than it ever has been, and i've been a little more busy playing the role of mama, which leaves me way less time and energy to do pretty much anything else!? with that being said, i give you the micro machines version of what's gone on the last 4 months (do y'all remember those commercials? i'm totally dating myself i bet!)

jack has done quite well in school, he's six now, which i cannot even wrap my brain around (and i will have a birthday dedicated post for him, late or not it's tradition), he's in his second year of hockey and absolutely loves it. the progress from this year to last is remarkable. he has started to develop some real friendships, and has also matured in these last 4 months more than i ever expected...i blame the bus;) i mean he would NEVER hear those words at home;) he's adjusted fairly well to school, although the "i don't like school, i cannot believe i have to go for 12 more years" (18 if you count college and grad school, but i have failed to mention that for fear his eyes would bug out of his head!) we have his first teacher conference tomorrow, and i now understand the anxiety that comes along with sending your child off to school...i have a billion "what ifs" running through my head, and feel so much pressure for him to do well. it's a crazy feeling, i mean it is just kindergarten after all!

i will attempt to get some pictures added to this post, but while i have perhaps 5 more minutes i need to update the other blogs!
