Where's.......

You fill in the blank. I can fill it in with multiple things. Perhaps, Where's the time gone? Where's the birthday cake? Where's my sanity? The big question from all five of them this week is "Where is the cake?" That's right, we have four little people turning FOUR on Monday. I keep thinking "Where has the time gone? It's all such a blur to me. Well at least a good portion of the first year is a blur. Of course I remember things like the ride home from the hospital with all of them, hospital stays, the NICU, and special little things here and there. I am so glad I documented most things in baby books. I took a lot of pictures and now praying they all survived the fire. Luckily there too, I have them saved on a hard drive so I guess it's not the end of the world if I have to print them again. We don't have anything too special planned other than cake and presents with some family members. Since they are Thanksgiving babies and Drew is a Christmas baby we forego the parties and do the family thing. They all know that we are heading to Grandmas for Thanksgiving. We are sad to leave Daddy home alone but it will be fun for us to go destroy, I mean play at Nana and Papa's for the weekend. Papa just got a new tractor so I'm sure he will be gassing it up for a little outdoor drive time. Plus it's green....Parker will be so thrilled!! Since I've posted last we had Drew's report card come home. He's doing great in Kindergarten. He really likes it. Soccer ended....the kids are now thinking baseball. Drew taught the quads how to play baseball on the Wii. Maddox and Parker are really getting the hang of bowling and tennis. Jack is a racing fan and Emma; well, she's really into coloring right now. It's amazing how their personalities have really taken shape this past year. Drew has really taken on his role as big brother. He struggles to talk to his siblings with words but is more patient with them in things. Emma is very independent and girly. Jack is like a opposum. He is so smart and will sometimes act like he has no clue when really his IQ is probably higher than some adults I know. Parker is smart and such a quick learner. Maddox is stubborn and sweet. I know that sounds silly, but he is. He just enrolled in the developmental preschool with Parker. He's too smart cognitively to be there, but so far behind in gross and fine motor skills that it was best for him to go there. He loves riding the bus everyday. That's about all the news we have here for now, I will hopefully post pics from the quads birthday soon. I'd share pictures now but that might give away our Christmas card. :) Stay warm!!! XOXO
