Caitlin's World

Caitlin is in soccer again this fall, both Addie & Kenzie are on her team so she's really enjoying it. Today she scored during the game but I wasn't lucky enough to be filming at the time. I was able to get this video during practice.

Charlotte had a very cold and wet March and we were looking forward to a nice weekend and Mother Nature decided to change things up. After a late Friday night slumber party at Casa de Schell (formal attire required for pizza and easy mac per the girls)...... Lexi, Addie & Caitlin After a LATE night Caitlin, crashed on the couch for a 3 hr (yes 3 hrs for the girl who never naps on weekends anymore) so I ran to the store and at 5:30pm when I came out it was dark (in the spring) so I hurried home knowing this wasn't going to be good. We planned to go to one of our fave places for dinner but the lightening held us back, it finally let up and we decided even though it was like 6:30pm we'll still go. Everyone got ready and as we were leaving it started hailing lightly so of course my car was not coming out! So we wait.... and it got worse.... Holy crap right? For those of you who have been to our house we live on a hill, we have a very steep driveway which you

Spring is almost here and we are all more than ready for the warm southern air. This weekend temps are supposed to be in the lower 70's. Caitlin and Kenzie started soccer today through Calvary Champs sports program. They had a blast and I look forward watching them over the next 2 1/2 months. Everyone looked so cute in their uniforms. Running in for a goal! Rochester Rhinos Huddle Maddie, Caitlin & Kenzie

Early Monday morning and throughout the day we received about 5" of snow which later turned into hours of sleet. Of course local schools and Caitlin's daycare closed yesterday and again today. Lets just say the Croswell home is a little tense and stir crazy right now :P Gazing at the falling snow Monday Our street, all uphill and a sheet of ice! Our house Shawn's car iced over Now when I went outside to access the situation and take these pictures I hear ice skidding across our next door neighbors driveway. They were attempting to de-ice their cars and as the ice fell it slid all the way down.

As we are officially 3 weeks away from Christmas I am getting excited. Caitlin loves to see all the Christmas lights and watch all the movies. I made our 2010 Christmas cards the other night and just wondered how much has Caitlin grown in the last 4 years. She was only 5 1/2 weeks old for her first Christmas and here we are at 4 years old.

Caitlin's preschool had their Thanksgiving party today and sang a few songs for the parents. They were so cute and proud of themselves. Here they are singing "I'm glad I'm not a turkey on Thanksgiving day,  they stuff you and bake you and taste you" Blessing before lunch "Thanks you Jesus for you food..."
