Simply the Smith's

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

I have been absent. I could make up a million excuses and blubber on about it but the truth is I got overwhelmed. My duties at work changed and continued to change over the course of the year and I feel like just now I'm steady in my work life.  Also my kids got older and that was a big change.  Kinder to first grade is a huge difference.  They are all in activities now dance, hockey, skating, baseball, floor hockey. Just all the things.  Plus two 3 year olds...…. way more work than two newborns. Call me crazy but 3 has thrown me for a loop. But I missed writing about my family and having this scrap book and okay maybe venting a little bit too.  So I'm here I'm back and I'm going to try my best. I'm sure I will have to fill in some blanks here and there but we will cross those bridges when we come to them.  I will leave you with this cute picture of my three little loves and be back tomorrow....I hope(just kidding)
