It’s time for another installment in A Day In My Life.

I documented Sunday, September 13. I also took pictures more sparingly this time around. I usually have something like 70+ pictures to tell the complete story of my day. This time I tell the story in 32 pictures. Hope you enjoy taking a peek into what a weekend day looks like for a SAHM.

I start my day off like any other

Jason,

I don’t think there’s anything I can write that will truly convey how happy I am to be your wife. Words fail me.

You are without a doubt my very best friend. You’re my rock, my fortress, my joy, my knight in shining armor.

I’ve can’t imagine a life without you in it.

We’ve been through major highs, and very low lows. I know that together we’ll make it through whatever life throws at us.

Thank you for an amazing 5 years. I can’t wait to see what our future holds.

One year ago today, my little Jessalyn was born.

It’s been an amazing journey so far, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for my “baby.”

Taken just a few weeks ago. My, my how she’s grown.

Happy birthday my love, happy birthday.

Now, LET’S GO TO DISNEYLAND!

I took my “baby” girl to the Dr. yesterday for a well check. Due to the craziness of Jason losing his job just before her birthday last year, we never made her 3 year well check appointment. Since I had been trying to get her into a specific preschool program (which I’m not really going to discuss here), I knew she needed to have a physical.

I’ve suspected she’s on the tall side, but since the kids her age that she plays with here are short for their ages, I wasn’t sure how she compared. Then when I took her to the preschool playdate, I noticed she was one of the tallest kids in the classroom.

Yesterday, I found out where she fits in the curve.

She’s 41 3/4″ tall
She’s 40 lbs.
She turns 4 on August 25.

Dr. M. said she’s in the 90th percentile for height and weight. That means she’s taller than 90% of kids her age. Dr. M.  plays this little guessing game giving you a general idea of how tall your child is going to be. He said from the get-go that she’ll probably be 5′7″ plus a little. Something like 5′7.75 ” I thought this was impossible because for the first few years of her life, she was in something like the 5th percentile. She was small. She was always a year behind on clothing sizes. All of a sudden, she turned 3, wore 3T clothes for a few months before quickly outgrowing them and going into a 4T. The 4T pants are getting too short for her too. So yesterday he looked over her chart and said she was on track to hit that 5′7″ prediction.

My oldest daughter is 14 and she’s 5′4″ (and all leg.) She has another 3/4″ until she’s as tall as me. Won’t be long until she’s looking down at me.

My son, well he’s still short. One of the shortest boys in his class, but he’s not even 13 yet. I have no doubt that he’ll be passing me up in no time at all. I get to be the family shorty. The funny thing is I’m average. I’m not particularly short. Being surrounded by all these tall people is going to b e a serious blow to my ego. I’m sure they’ll make fun of me the way my 6′3″ husband does.

Today over at Shutter Sisters, they’re talking about bubbles.

Jason took this picture of Caitlin back in 2004, and it remains a favorite of mine to this day.
