Gone are the days of after-school basketball practice, soccer trips, and sleeping in on the weekend (not to mention insane summer nights where we climbed through windows and emptied bedrooms). My plans on Friday nights vary very little from my plans on Mondays or Wednesdays (actually - that just changed - my Wednesdays will now be booked with lots of Young Women:)
If I play any soccer now, that's it. No going out for hotwings after games or meeting my teammates to play pick up at the park during the week. Those were good times - no doubt.
Now everything revolves around two little people I'd never even dreamed of only a few years ago. It is definitely a new season of my life.
Last week, we hosted a birthday party for our now 4-year-old Anushka. While we have celebrated her birthday every year, this was the first where we had 12 girls running wild. Actually, to my surprise, the 12 girls were quite well behaved. Perhaps because we had an activity planned (notice the girls' necklaces) or maybe because they are just really good girls - either way, while it was stressful, the party was nowhere near the hair-ripping nightmare I was bracing for. Now, the big test will be Diggity's 4-year-old party.

You are so friggin crazy to have that many little girls running about your house!!! Kudos to you for pulling it off.
And yes, it is a new "season"....that is a sweet, gentle way of putting it. I can think of more descriptive terms. :)

My sister uses the term "season" - I thought it sounded nice ;)
Happy birthday, Anya!
Liz -- what?? No more Relief Society pianist?? Do tell!
Anushka plays my kind of putt-putt.
FINALLY - no more pianist! Now, I'll have to find other excuses to play. I am 2nd counselor in YW now. I think they're replacing all pianists with hymn-playing pianos anyway - have you seen them? They're pretty cool.
