The kids are growing up and for joe and Taylor that's bittersweet. As Elliana enters middle school and their youngest enters first grade the children come into their own in a way they haven't before.

My eyes flutter open when I feel soft lips against mine "good morning love" joe says and kiss me again "good morning" I grin and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him down for another kiss.
"If we didn't need to get up with the kids, I would rip your clothes off right now" I say against his lips, and he laughs. "Well today we have the house to ourselves, so we have time later" he says and kiss me one last time before getting out of bed.
We have about half an hour before we need to wake the kids, so we jump in the shower together to get a quick morning wash up before we get the day started.
Today we officially have a first grader, a third grader and a six grader. That's crazy to think about, the time has for sure flown by in an instant. It feels like yesterday when each and every one of them was laid against my chest for the first time, and now they are all in school.
I get dressed in a pair of jeans and a knitted sweater and do my hair and makeup in record time. That's one of the many skills you acquire as a parent, getting ready in under ten minutes because most of the time that's all you get.
Going into aurora's room I turn on the lights and caress her face "sweetie its morning, its school today. Time to get up" I tell her and kiss her forehead. She is not a morning person, out of our three kids only Kenzie is a morning person, but they obviously need to get to school on time.

"Mom no, it's early" she says and jawns "I know, but its school" I tell her and get her out of bed with a lot of whining. "Get dressed, brush your teeth and then come downstairs for breakfast and hair" I tell her and go to wake Ellie, joe is working on getting Kenzie ready.
