Something New

Well, not sure that this is what I need.... something else to distract my time and something else to upkeep! But, for those of you that know me well, you'll know that I love to write. It's my way of relaxing, so to say. I also thought it'd be a good way for friends & family to keep up with the daily happenings in the Scott home, and to document many things!

Hallie Lynn is now 5, going on 12. We pre-registered her for Kindergarten last week. She is so excited and ready to go... wish Mommy could say the same! After we left the school, she was upset that she didn't get to "sign her name" to anything! She just really thought that she'd get to write on a piece of paper. The school secretary told her that she remembered when her Daddy was in Kindergarten. Her reply, "THAT was a long time ago!" LOL, What can I say, she's her father's daughter. ;)

Hallie had her first dance recital last night in Olney. It reminded me of my dance recital days! Her jazz class danced to "All the Single Ladies (the Chipmunks' verson). I must say, I was a proud Momma! That's definately her cup of tea. Hallie felt very grown up, because she got to wear eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blush, and lipstick. She thought it was pretty cool that I was putting my Mary Kay on HER! I even gave her her own tube of lipstick. She took it to church with her in her purse today... and put it on at least three times while we were there. That's my girl!! :)

Hallie is also in her third week of swim lessons, and we start t-ball practice this week. She is a busy busy 5 year old!

Hadlie Mae is 4 months old. Hard to believe. She can roll from her belly to her back. She loves jumpin' in her Jump-A-Roo... she gets such a kick from it! Hadlie is growing and changing every day. She's been eating veggies and fruits for a few weeks now. The peditrician had me start her on solids much earlier than Hallie. Her favorites seem to be carrots & peaches. Hadlie is such a happy baby, and her Big Sister is so proud of her! I really don't think anything will ever come between those girls. Hallie told Hadlie a few days ago, "Sissy, I love you, and I will always be on your side!" My, my, how I love my girls.

Josh has been planting corn for a little over a week now. This past week was full of a bunch of late nights and early mornings. Hopefully he'll be done planting in another two weeks or so... then he'll be back on a bit of a normal schedule until it's time for detasseling. He's spent a week in the April Illinois sun, and he looks like he just got back from Florida vacation. I wish I could do that!!

As for me... I'm still workin' my Mary Kay, picking up a few shifts a week (mostly weekend time, when Josh can stay home with the girls) at WGH, planning Beulah's VBS, and trying to keep up the duties of Mommy & Wife. Oh, forgot to mention coaching Hal's t-ball team. Should be interesting!!
