Mama of 2 P's in a Pod

Loving our chaotic life Having a high schooler adds a little chaos to life. There are new clubs, new events and just new interests that add to our already full calendar. I love it though. I love that our 9th grader is blossoming and not afraid to try new things. It is really fun to watch her grow. Scary, but fun! Little sister isn't too far behind. Trying new things, finding her way and keeping up with school. She is on a new ball team, again, she has the worst luck finding great teams and then watching them implode at the end of the season. Hopefully this new team will stick for awhile. Getting into the mix of the fall madness that happens every year. Loving it. Looking forward to the season.

Summer is ending, ready for fall I wonder if we will actually get a fall. Spring was non-existent. One weekend we were at the ball fields in coats and hats, the next we were slathering on sunscreen and sweating. Kansas you do crazy things to us. Could we just go back to 4 seasons again? I like the 4 seasons and what they bring. I've loved our summer. It was shorter for me than I'm used to.

OR if I should stay put and offer the stability I've been able to offer to the girls for high school. 99.9% of me wants to do that. I love what I do, who I work with and for.

Traveled for softball to Missouri and then to Colorado. I love our summers. I also loved the down ti...

Two years. It flies by doesn't it? I haven't had a chance to sit down and type out my thoughts or our life for awhile. Of course, there is social media but that is usually a little snippet of our life. Not much else. Big P is headed into high school. Middle school was a good transitioning time for her. She found her way and decided what was worth her time. She is anxious about high school, the unknown, the lack of structure that she had in middle school. I am excited but sad. Sad that time has flown by so fast and will only continue to do so. Excited because she will bloom. I am grateful for my relationship with her and pray that we can continue to talk like we do. She has grown about 6 inches since she started middle school. I know the boys are paying attention. She is a little, but the introvert in her holds her back some, which I'm okay with. Little P had a decent entrance into middle school. Finally got to where she needs to be on math and confidence. Of course that...
