All I can say is WOW!! I cannot believe it has been so long since I have posted. Ok...yes I can :) Life is just so crazy busy. My New Year's goal was to start posting here again and keep up with it...well here it is June 9th and I am just now getting to it!
Will amazes me everyday at how "grown up" he has become. He played T-ball this spring and loved it! We love it too. It was great getting to know all of the families of the boys on his team. We hope we can play with most of them again in Fall Ball.
Will finished 3K a couple of weeks ago and already wants to know when 4K starts!! Don't get me wrong he is loving his down time but he misses his school friends. Every afternoon we are required to get the pool and Slip N Slide out! I love watching the boys play in the back yard as Ellie Mae bounces back and forth between them!
We celebrated Walker's first birthday in April with a party at the park with all of our family and friends. He is walking everywhere and IN TO EVERYTHING!! I never remember Will getting into things like does. His new project is seeing what all he can put in the air vents. It drives Jason insane :) He has a few words he says but for now I think he just relies on his big brother to do the talking for him. He love doing Patty Cake and is very proud of himself when he gets finished. Sometimes he will be walking around the house singing Patty Cake and doing the motions when he thinks no one is watching. He has the funniest personality and a smile that will melt your heart.
As I said before life is crazy busy for The Smith's but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so grateful for my life, my kiddos, my husband and family and all the craziness that goes along with it. With all of the tornado tragedies and a dear best friend who is fighting for her life...I have tried to stop and put things into perspective. I'm trying not to "sweat the small stuff" because in the end none of the silly things matter. I just try to smile as I stumble over a toy or step on a sticky spot in the floor from spilled juice. Those 8am meetings don't seem quite as important when your 4 year old says, "I want you to take me to school today Mommy"! Life is short...we are not promised one more second so make great memories...because those are what will last.
Wishing you all a safe and happy Summer!!
