Go With The Flow

This last week I got side tracked and was not able to follow the blog topic schedule that I set for myself. I got busy with some family things (family comes first) and did not have a chance to sit and write until today. Part of why I got side tracked is because I had house work to catch up on from last weekend (I wouldn't trade the events that happened last weekend for anything). My husband took me out last weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day. Yes, we got a kid free date! It was wonderful and just what we needed. We went to The Cheesecake Factory and the mall that is in Louisville, KY.

I decided not to worry if I can't blog every single day. I just have to go with the flow of life. Our week was certainly busy so I took a time out on my blog to focus on my family and our week. On Tuesday, our youngest son started pre-school. He transitioned out of our early intervention program here in Kentucky. Kids can transition to pre-school when they turn 3. Lucas turned 3 at the end of December. Lucas could not start until he had a dental exam, eye exam, and a physical. Lucas had his eye exam (the last thing we needed in order for him to start) on Monday so he was able to start school on Tuesday. He goes to school with our middle son, Liam. Their pre-school is four days a week all day. They both ride a big bus to their school which is 30 minutes away. We live in a big county in Kentucky, so that is why their school is further out. Lucas's first week of school went very well and we know he will continue to do well.

Now that Lucas has started school, that means I only have our baby girl at home during the day. Leliana is definitely enjoying being the only one at home with me. It has been several years since I have had only one kid at home during the school day. I definitely plan to do more toddler/mommy activities in our new area so that I can make some friends.

Thursday was Valentine's Day. I was busy with the kids this past week making their Valentine's Day card boxes as well as their treat bags. All four boys had a wonderful Valentine's Day in their classes at school. Of course, we have a lot of Valentine's Day candy now. The boxes we made were a robot, a Pokeball (from Pokemon), and two cars.

This weekend my family came to visit us. It was their first time seeing our new house. I love when I am able to see my grandparents. My grandparents raised me so they are more like my parents. My grandma's lung cancer recently came back and she started radiation last week. Time with her now is very precious. We believe God has a plan and a purpose for my grandma and her journey with cancer.

Going into this week, the days will be less busy and I can hopefully follow the schedule I set for myself. As I said, I will just go with the flow so I don't feel pressured to put a post out everyday. I hope  you enjoyed reading about our week. I am thankful for my readers and that you all understand that I get busy. I am a mom of 5 kids! I will give myself grace if something doesn't go as planned when it comes to my blog (and anything in life). I am also letting God lead this blog in the direction that He wants me to go with it. I hope my readers see that in the way I write and the topics I write about.
