Maybe those of you who don't know us personally find some of these "journalistic" entries boring, but it is a nice way to look back and see what has happened here and there as well as keep friends around the world updated on the kids. Hopefully for some of you other homeschooling mommas these types of posts just encourage normal living.
2013 Did not begin as we imagined and hoped. Gary broke his foot and my back went out. Then the flu hit and made its rounds through the family. All in all we spent nearly the first two weeks of the new year on the couches. Making the most of every opportunity though- we enjoyed a lot of reading aloud and just being together.

When we were healthy we enjoyed playing with Christmas presents- remote control cars from Grandparents that G loves practicing his crawling skills on, new skates and basketball hoop also provides many hours of fun and of course the gift of snow from up above is wonderful fun.
G is now half a year old! Amazing! What a cutee. He is all over the place these days and LOVES to eat. He keeps us all smiling.
As the excitement of a new baby has begun to wear off JUST a tiny bit with the older ones- L has begun to realize how much fun her little brother is. She still enjoys feeding him and has found a way SHE can "rock" him to sleep. :)
We have been studying the United States and are enjoying puzzles in our lessons.
I love the different personalities of our kidos- K loves to organize and went through the school cabinet making it "nice and neat" for me.
We put G to work sweeping- he loved it!
B helps keep G everyday for a little bit during quiet time. He makes a good blanket.
Watching what we feast on. Good stuff.

The most handsome men ever. Little guys growing so fast! BTW- I think A has gotten just a bit taller than C- just by a hair...
That's all- just a little update.
