C finished up his basketball season on Friday.  Though their season was less than stellar, we all had so much fun cheering them on during their final game.  At halftime, they were down by something crazy, like 30, and by the end of the game, they were on fire and brought the game back to a three point margin.....there was a lot of crazy cheering and excitement in the stands!  Way to go C!

P's basketball season is in full swing and winning is their name.  My moment with Pryce this week was on Tuesday....and basketball was not involved.  Instead, it was a schooling moment.  P is involved in an intense writing class.  Last year, my favorite part of schooling him was watching him create his stories and share them with me.....he was so proud and excited about his accomplishments.  This year has proved to be a bit more challenging with the content and though he has continued to excel, he hasn't expressed the excitement about his work.  Tuesday was different.  The joy was back.  He could not wait to share his latest work with me and the smiles and proud face was back in full gear.  So fun to see success through a child's eyes!

MK....oh how I love this girl.  I miss her and cannot wait to have her with us next year during school.  She is having a fabulous time in Kindergarten though and her teacher is smitten.  Again, I watched her swim this week and I just stand amazed at what she is capable of and the determination that surrounds her.  She learned how to do the Butterfly stroke and she is killing it.....6 years old, amazing.  My most proud moments are watching her with Maddox.  Their relationship continues to grow and MK can be so loving and caring towards her little sister - she really likes to help and encourage!

And Maddox....to live a day with Maddox is to experience life from all angles.  She is so sweet.  She, out of the blue, will say, "Mommy, I love you more."  I must say I love the early morning snuggles, the tight hugs at school when she says goodbye, the running into my arms when she sees me.....she is just so stinkin sweet.  Yet, there is spice.  And she is not always nice.  And she will tell me ,"NOOO!!!" in a heartbeat if she doesn't agree with what I have to say.  Recently, she has started to write letters, trace her name, count to 25 - sometimes higher....she is thriving!
