This is so not like me?!? I used to post all the time and now the last time I posted was in May?!! So crazy! Well obviously so much has happened since May that trying to catch up would take forever.
I can focus on just some of the highlights. Addison turned 10...10 how and when did this happen?!?! She had a fun birthday party at Color Me Mine with some of her close friends. Another big thing that happened for her is she experienced her first sleepover!! She had an amazing time and actually stayed the whole night! I remember how fun sleepovers were when I was little! I am excited for her to experience more, just not sure I am ready for them to be at my house. 😁.
Austen had a good summer reuniting with his kindergarten class. His teacher was so amazing and will forever have a place in our hearts. The whole class got along so well and Austen learned so much in kindergarten that Miss Gauger(his teacher) set the bar so high for any other teacher he would have in the future.
We were pleased after going to Open House learned that both kids were going to have a great year with good teachers. Addison had a rough year last year so it is nice to know that this year will be so different. 😄 Luckily they both LOVE school and have already met a lot of new friends.
Addison and Austen are playing soccer this fall which makes it fun and interesting for Jay and I since both games are on Saturdays⚽️. Jay is coaching Austen so he is always with him. Addison also started gymnastics this fall and is loving every minute of it. She is very good and we are so proud of her!
I was very excited to learn that I was going to be at Little Journey Preschool 5 days this fall teaching the 2 year olds and the 3 year olds.😄 I am so blessed to have worked there last year and it just feels like home to me. I am very thankful that I get to go to that Preschool every day to work with amazing teachers and get to be around amazing kids and their families. It is a true blessing!
We just had some amazing pictures taken by the amazing Nikki Sustek! If you need pictures taken, she is your girl! Nikki is amazing because she is so good at adding our precious boy to our pictures. I miss Jayden every single day. My life just isn't the same without him. How can we be coming up on 3 years without him!? I can't even wrap my head around it right now. I am so thankful for the people I have met along the way and who I have connected with because of him. I have also had people contact me because of our loss and I have been able to share my story with so many people. I love when I can share Jayden, or when people ask about him. I love when people ask about him, it makes my day. Sometimes people are like I am sorry for bringing him up, but I say you bringing him up doesn't make me sad. I know that he isn't with me, but by you bringing him up it helps me know that other people acknowledge that he did live and I will forever be his mom. I pray every day that he is looking down on me and is proud of me. I hate that I am not with him now, but when my time comes to reunite with him, I will never ever let him go.
I will promise that I will try and post more often, I know I said that before but I will try harder!
