Back to school, Fall Ball and more.

So the summer came and went and now it's time for me to catch up on our adventures since then. When I say summer I'm referring to the summer vacation. So let me start by our back to school adventures! Natalia started pre-k and we are all extremely happy. She really needed to go to school. She had been asking me for more that a year and she was ecstatic!

This year I have all three kids in different schools, so we will see how that goes. Anthony started middle school, Lauryn stayed in Elementary and Natalia is in pre-k. The good thing about it is that I am working in Natalia's school so that helps by having to commute less.

So far everyone has adjusted very well to their schools and teachers. Particularly Anthony who started middle school and we all know what a difficult stage that can be. But so far, so good. He was also ready and couldn't wait to leave middle school. He is growing so fast!





Football and Cheerleading has also kept us super busy. We have practices 3 times a week and then Saturdays games. We stay almost all day this year since both girls are cheering and Anthony plays. They are all doing very well and I look forward to the games. It is steaming hot or pouring rain, but you gotta love it. I am coaching Natalia's team so that has been somewhat stressful, but everything is really coming together. Her squad had 5 girls but we lost one so we stayed with 4. Can you imagine trying to teach while they just want to chase the fireflies? It is really adorable though, and I get lots of hugs.

USF invited some local teams to one of their home games and we were able to go and walk on the field. It was a great experience for us and the kids had tons of fun.






Here are also some pictures of our day at Magic Kingdom! It was such an awesome day! The park was practically empty and we were able to enjoy the park with very little stress. It was by far one of our best days at MK. I was also very excited to be able to capture a picture with every member of our immediate family in front of the castle. I believe the most recent one we had of all of us together, Natalia was a baby...and it wasn't very good. I was extremely happy to be able to capture that moment.
