He is just darling but I simply cannot believe how well you are handling all of these changes- especially while pregnant. I would be a mess!! Holy moley- you are a rock.<br /><br />I get all teary at the end of every school year. And not bc all 4 kids will be home with me every single day (HA!!!) but bc I am grateful/proud/somewhat disbelieving/ beyond all belief of everything they are becoming and also somewhat sad that another school year is behind us. The time just goes by way too quickly.
