Joining Kristin for my favorite letter-writing link up!
Dear House,
Be prepared to get the cleaning of a lifetime. I'm ashamed how long you've been neglected but now I actually have the head space and energy to do something about it! And you know I've already made good on this since I scraped the ceramic stove top and dusted the ceilings for cobwebs (please, someone, anyone tell me this happens to you too?) My only complaint is, why can't you just stay clean?
Dear Brian,
You are amazing. Thank you for bearing all the work on your shoulders so I can stay home with our ladies through summer and beyond. It is such a gift and I treasure it more than I can express.
Dear Kinsey,
You my love are now officially a First Grader. That went by entirely too fast. I'm so relieved you enjoyed your first year in Elementary school. So much so, you are now saying you want to be a Kindergarten Teacher yourself when you grow up (so many feels there!) I couldn't be prouder. Let's have the best summer together ever!
Dear Brielana,
You have all of a sudden grown by leaps and bounds! I can't get over your exploding vocabulary (example A: "That's hilarious. Isn't that hilarious, guys?!" I DIE.) We're counting down the days you're still in diapers (10!)) and until you're the big sister just like Kiki (91! Give or take lol)
Dear Baby Boy,
We are thisclose to naming you and I feel like it has been such a process. Not a bad one but super intense as we try to stake your claim in a huge world. Just know we are all waiting anxiously for your arrival!
Dear Reading Challenge,
I am on fire! I know I lowballed on the number of books I could read this year but being 4 away at the halfway mark feels very encouraging. A far cry from last years disappointment and shame (a bit melodramatic but totally true).
Oh so sweet friend. Keeping a house clean feels nearly impossible, right?! I am just thankful ours wasn't on the market for very long, lololol!
ReplyDeleteYay -- thank so much for joining in today. Don't forget to link up. xo
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Why is it so hard to name a kid? lol. I felt intense pressure knowing that he would have this name for the rest of his life. Thankfully I feel like we made the right choice :) haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes! Whyyyyyyy can't the house stay clean after you clean it? Ugh. So annoying!
We're going to start potty training L this week too!! We'll see how it goes, I'm nervous!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe K is in 1st grade. I swear the school year just started. Yay for a name!!!! I can't wait to hear, though I'll wait. Ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteFIRST GRADE?! That's for real elementary school!
ReplyDeleteNaming kids is such a challenge. There are so many things to factor in, not to mention, there are TWO opinions to it, which makes it infinitely more difficult.
Love all of these letters and photos! Those school years fly by faster and faster each year. I am going to have a 2nd grader. Ugh!!!
ReplyDeleteEek! A name! Are you going to share before his arrival?
ReplyDeleteMy house... I feel like it's never clean either! Yay for no more diapers! I wish we could say that!
