A Busy Life We Lead

This last week has been a busy one, filled with school and sports and everything in-between.  Ashleigh had three cross country meets and did great!  She came in 3rd overall for the girls in the first two meets and 9 th overall for the 8th graders in the last.  Soccer is also in full swing and we can not wait for her first game.  Jake is doing awesome in football, on offense he plays center and on defense he either plays linebacker or nose guard.  One of his coach's told Ryan that Jake is a animal and loves to tackle, guess that is a compliment, sure made Jake proud.  He has his first game next weekend!  Delainie is in her third week of preschool and loves it!  She has gotten to paint, play outside, learning how to write and loves playing with her new friends.  She will start soccer on the 18th of September, should be fun!  Leah is a very active one year old, loves getting into things and playing outside.  Ryan and I are both staying busy and barely seeing each other with his new work schedule and me being at school during the day.  We are looking forward to a visit from Ryan's dad this weekend.  Sorry there are no pictures, Leah managed to get a hold of our memory card and we are still searching for it. 

Here We Go Again

Ashleigh's first day of 8th grade

I am going to try this blogging thing once again, to keep all our out-of-state friends and family updated on our life here in Colorado. The Kerrigan household has been very busy these last couple of weeks. Ashleigh started 8th grade and is doing cross country and soccer. She loves soccer and is still on the same team, they are a fantastic group of girls. Jake started 4th grade and has his amazing teacher he had last year, Mrs. Stone. He has started tackle football and loves it, he has been moved to linebacker and the kid can hit. I never thought I would be proud to see my son tackle/hit someone but in football I am one proud momma seeing him knock and bring a player down. Delainie started her first week of preschool at Little Blessings; her teacher is Mrs. Nicole. There were no tears when I dropped her off, only when I came to pick her up, she did not want to leave...So, I guess that is a good thing. Miss Delainie will be starting soccer in the next few weeks and she seems like a natural; probably from watching her older sister. Leah is also doing good, she almost weighs as much as Delainie and that is why her daddy gave her the nickname "Tank". She is for the most part a happy, active one year old; she is starting to show some attitude but she needs to, being the baby of this family. Ryan and I are both doing well, he is going to start working the swing shifts at work and will be at home with the little girls during the day while I am in school; should be a good thing for all. I am currently applying to RN programs and will hear sometime towards the very end of October. My goal is to keep this updated weekly for everyone and we hope everyone is doing well, we miss you!!
