Catching up

Yep - I've fallen behind on the blog yet again. Some would say it's because I have four kids, but I know the real truth: I've just gotten lazy. So, here we go, a quick recap of what's been going on:

1) Happy 10th Anniversary to Chris & I
On May 15th, 1999 Chris and I tied the knot. Ten years and four kids later, we're still just as happy together as we were on that fateful day. I am so unbelievably lucky to have found a man like Chris, and am so thankful to be spending my life with him. As a joint mother's day / 10th anniversary gift, Chris gave me this:

WOW! That's pretty much all I could say! For my part, I too gave something shiny and somewhat sparkly:

It doesn't have the same 'bling' factor, but it's still pretty nice!!

2) Soccer season starts!!
Both Quinn and Aidan started soccer last week. I'm coaching Quinn's team (nothing like trying to corral twelve 4 and 5 year olds and teach them soccer!) and Chris is coaching Aidan's team. Both boys LOVE playing soccer so they were absolutely thrilled that soccer season finally started.

3) Long weekend goings on
This past weekend was the Victoria Day holiday for us. Although the weather was cool, we managed to get sun for all of Sunday and Monday which meant we were outside the entire time. The boys even went swimming in the pool (I took on the role of lifeguard, as there was no way in he!! I was going in!), and had a great time. Aidan did a perfect dive off the diving board, and followed the perfect dive up with a perfect belly flop. Poor guy - he took it like a big boy though and just swam to the side of the pool, got out, and played in the kiddie pool for the next hour!! ;-)

That's it for now - more updates to come!
