It's Been a While....

Sitting down right now for half of a second. Thought I would update everyone on how the Petura Family is doing. Maeve and Cara have started school and they are both doing very well. Watching Maeve in her classroom gives me such joy. I know that she is a teacher pleaser type. She always listens and she follows directions well. Now if only she could do that at home too! She is making new friends but for right now enjoys hanging out with her teacher, Mrs. Garrity. Cara went to school and didn't look back! I never thought she would be THIS good at going. A little tear or two would have made me feel a little bit better. But not my Cara. She went and keeps asking me when she is going to go to "cool." There was a bit of an issue when Mrs. Law had to change her diaper in school but hey- wouldn't you be bothered if someone you didn't really know wanted to get into your pants? :) Cavan is already 4 and a half months old. I am not sure where the time has gone. He is so smiley all of the time! I got lucky with this one being such a happy baby. He loves to watch his sisters and is getting to the point of being a bit fussy if he isn't in the room with them. I must say though, he is sleeping like crap. I am lucky if I get a two hour stretch every night. I figured come 6 months I will cry it out with him and everyone will be a lot happier!

Life for me is hard. I feel as though sometimes I never have a moment to myself. I am up with the kids by 6:30 a.m. and have Cavan up until about 8/8:30. By 9 I want to pass out myself! I am struggling with the lack of "me" time. As a mom it is very easy to get lost in your kids and every day life. I have found myself resenting Kenyon or other people who can just get up and go to the bathroom without anyone coming in or screaming my name. Not to mention Cavan is attached to my boob every two hours if not more. I know that this is just where my life is right at the moment but it can seem awfully overwhelming sometimes. I must say, I am looking forward to school days where I might just get a moment to breathe- or clean up- or even shower!! Yes, I did choose my life. And I love my life. I wouldn't change it for anything. But right now, it is overwhelming. I am taking solace in the little moments like nap time or TV time (dare I say that?). Luckily, I have a great support system and it means the world to me. So I know that even though I am feeling like this now, in a matter of days, weeks or months it will get easier. It better. LOL. So, enough of all of this.... here are some pictures of the kids who fill my heart.
