Looking back...

Well here we are- it's Saturday August 22nd and baby Boynton #3 is not here yet- Yippee!! I really need this baby to hold on another week or two or three! I need to get back to work for a while to make some money and get my maternity leave- and then the rest of the 2009-2010 school year off! Which I am really excited for and nervous about as well. We will be fine- just financially we will be taking a huge cut. But it is what we will need to do for this year- just too hard for 3 in day care, too hard for me that is! Hard to get all 3 out the door! I can only imagine! I can't get myself out usually!

This summer has just been the best! (I wanted to say it was "da bomb!"- too dorky?) but how could it not be! We have done so much and I have really tried to enjoy and savor up every minute!

Zachary has just grown sooo much! I really hate that I wanted him too. Such a crazy situation we are in having this new baby so close in age to him. - But he is doing so well! Finally doing a little bit of sign language- and talking so much more! Mostly jibber jabber- but sometimes it sounds like words, "oh boy", "mine", "ma", "Hi Daddy"! He is a pro at climbing and going down the slide in our yard, running around, playing with toys, playing with balls, and caveman conking the t-ball- and he has been doing great with the library puzzles and ours too. He is just such a sweetie- and I love being reminded of it when I see him with others.

Jenna- oh boy- this girl! She is just amazing! Now holding her breath and going under while swimming- and now attempting and pretty much doing- swimming under water! And really what can't she do? She has had so much fun playing with the neighbors and her friends and cousins and brother all summer. Every day "where are we going today?" or "What are we doing today?" she loves to do and go! She has been doing great with writing her name (JAnnQ)- pretty much how it looks! And coloring in the lines. She has been working hard on this color by number princess picture that Grandma B. brought over last night- she is so focused and really gets into what she is doing. Oh and has been hitting the whiffle ball from the pitch lately too- and loves riding her new bike. Now I just need to get settled on a pre-school for her. Nothing like last minute!!

It is hard to believe summer has come and gone! I know I will be home shortly with 3 soon. But this summer and time with 2 has just been so wonderful! I am so lucky to have the life I do!!

Here are a few pictures, they definitely helped me reminisce this summer:


Summer T-ball, she got her first trophy!


Like I said- she is holding her breath and swimming under!


This one is from Scott's parents Lake House- they had a 4th of July celebration and we checked out the DJ for a bit- the kids were doing the Cha Cha slide! So adorable! "Everybody clap your hands...Charlie Brown"


We made it to a Sox game! Zachary's 1st! He was the life of the party! Dancing and "yesing" through the whole game!


Playing nicely one morning togther- Poor Zach that there is sooo much Princess going on in this house!


Zachary got a new pair of shoes! And he was so excited and proud! Just showing me how big he has gotten and how much he truely understands everything! My Bubba!


Here she is on her new bike! She has gotten so big too- I hate that I won't see her on her little tricycle anymore...


Playing with her best buds! Our neighbors- twins- Kyle and Emma. We are so fortunate to have them so close by!


Daddy's new job! He is working hard for a company called Safety Kleen. And surprised the kids by stopping by the house in his work truck! Cool!!


Our tiny dancer. Jenna did a Dance Camp this summer- she even got to tie-dye her shirt she is wearing.


We went to the beach with my great friends, Melissa and Sarah B. This totally depicts how much fun these two have together!! Cracking each other up all summer!!


Here I am- 36 weeks along... Baby #3 we are excited to meet you! But you just hold on a few more weeks! ;)


And our 4th of July Family photo... what a great 2009 summer together!

I love the update, and LOVE the recap, little bios, and pictures. Keep 'em coming. And, now that you'll be a stay-at-home mommy this year--we have NO excuse to not do a playdate!
