Only 11 more pounds until I'm back to my pre-Hayden weight! Wahoo!!

This has been one of the best summers I've had since I was a kid. Isaiah and Makenna are at such a great age to be able to go places, have loads of fun and not be too high maintenance. Hayden does pretty good also. Since he is so small, he only needs food and changing and the rest of the time is fairly easy, unless he has an upset belly. Don't get me wrong. Having 3 kids is challenging and I definitely have my work cut out for me but it's so wonderful.
Our summer fun began with swimming lessons at the Y. They both did so great! I wish they could continue through the remainder of the summer but at the same time I'm happy it's over because it was hard to get everyone there by 9:30 since we're on the baby's eating schedule. Since swimming lessons are over, Makenna is going to G-Gmaw's (great grandma's) for art lessons once a week. It's pretty much the most priceless thing in the world. Not many kids get the opportunity to spend quality time like that with a great grand parent. I hope she gets to keep doing it as long as grandma's health doesn't get any worse than it is now.
As a reward for doing so well with swimming lessons, we're going on a mini-vacation to spend a couple days at a water park. It's coming up real quick! I have to get myself prepared for this. I'm excited to be able to go but it will be my first time getting things ready for 5 people to be away from home for 4 days. Hopefully we won't forget anything...or anyone...ha!
I'm looking forward to the next month!
