Good Bye Kindergarten!

I feel like I just posted about her STARTING Kindergarten! When did she get so big? So school is officially over and the summer break has started. I enjoyed having Marissa at the preschool camps with me yesterday, although she looked so big next to all the preschoolers!

Next week the chaos of summer camps begin. She goes to dance camp, then science camp, then we'll go the beach to spend some time with the Fabulous Five aka The Foley Family, then we're back for Spanish camp then water camp then camp theater...it goes on and on for the next 12 weeks!

We selected 6 chapter books we will read over the summer. She's reading "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" right now. She LOVES it. She said she loves it even more than the movies! :o) That's my girl! Its bittersweet to see her reading on her own. I'm so proud of her, but I miss the close cuddle time we shared over "Silly Sally" and "Goodnight Moon" Now, she's reading those books to her brother!

I'm always amazed by how incredible a person Marissa is and will continue to be! She has her father's heart, a spark of her own and good head on her shoulders! Good bye, Kindergarten; look out world, here comes Marisssa!

I'm HERE!

I am absolutely terrible about posting to this blog. I guess I just don't feel that I have anything really that "important" to say. My life is pretty busy, but I think pretty normal. :o)

Some new things going on for me are that I got my personal training certification, I have my first "gig" with the band this weekend (have I posted yet that I'm going to start singing with a band? That will have to be a separate post!) I'm teaching the pre-k 4 class now and really enjoying it! So, preschool owner/director/teacher by day, personal trainer on the side and rockstar on the rise! LOL! Pretty normal if you ask me!

Marissa is in her last week of Kindergarten. I'm a blubbering mess! When did she get so big? Why does she have to grow up so quickly!?!?! She's almost SIX years old!!!!! I'm so proud of her. She played Lacrosse this spring, is getting so good at the piano, loves dancing and we've recently learned that she has a GORGEOUS singing voice! Her teacher calls her "songbird". My heart just overflows with love for this precious little girl!

Christian is my bear...he's all boy and getting pretty brave and adventurous. He moved up to the Monkey (3 year old) classroom this summer and he's just a riot. He's sweet as pie, but tough as nails! His speech is amazing, he has zero interest in potty training, and his big brown eyes could melt you like butter!

Marty is doing great. He's working hard, looking amazing (he's working out too and really in fantastic shape!) and keeping me smiling! He's my very best friend and we've found that life has really been good to us, despite the curve balls we've been dealt recently.

So that's life for our little Loftus clan. I really will TRY and be better about posting over here!
