Family wise I feel like I can't slow down.  We have been so busy, I signed Macguire up for the next Children's Theater production which will be in July, it's Beauty ad the Best.  He is very excited but that takes a lot of time.  Then he finally got called to join the swim team, which practices EVERY day, we have been on the waitlist for 1.5 years and his first practice meet was last night and he LOVED it (I forgot the camera...didn't even bring my pocket cam).  I have been trying to get to the gym more which has sucked up my kid-free time. Marc has been gone a lot and I am just trying to get from one thing to the next.  School ends next week (Thurs 11th) and we come to a screeching halt on Friday the 12th when we get on a plane.  I am looking forward to clearing my schedule for a couple weeks and not have to be here and there and everywhere.  He will fall behind a bit on the play and lose some of his swimming stamina but we all need a break.  

As for the rut...it's all about no photos.  I was just looking for something and realized I took NO pictures in May.  That is horrible!! That is a whole month of activities that will be missed.  And when I do my year end book there will be no May.  I plan to do better especially because we are vacationing this month.  I need to do better.  

And because posts are more interesting with pictures.  Here is Macguire from a couple weeks ago.  He is growing up so fast...love that kid!

On a side note...he is a tall kid, people think he is 8 and I think they expect more (I may be included in that) but he is only 6.  Anyone else out there with a tall one that feels the same way?  I want him to stay a kid as long as possible but I feel like he is trying to fill the 8 year old kids shoes and I'm missing out on 2 years somewhere in the mix.
