Well, there has not been too awfully much going on around here other than having half of our house packed in banana boxes and TRYING to keep it clean enough to show! We have been showing it a LOT lately and it is just a matter of time! ;o)
We have been enjoying these last few days before school starts packing them with playing in the water with the slip-n-slide, trips to the park and recently visiting a local amusement park for the day. We are planning on starting school after Labor Day and we will be homeschooling.
Caleb is continuing to put on weight and is REALLY close to walking. He gets into mischief quite a lot now! He loves Elmo, playing Peek-A-Boo, baths, books, ba-ba and his buddy! He says 'B' words alot!
Abby is getting very excited to start school and often asks me the names of letters and she is learning quite a lot by herself. She LOVES to do crafts and art.
Ben has all of the sudden decided that he likes to read! He has been checking out "Dick and Jane" books from the library and reading them clear thru with hardly any help! It has been neat to see reading 'click' with him! Second grade here he comes!
Becca is as creative as ever! She hand-made a cute little pillow with a boy and girl holding hearts for our anniversary! She ironed on the stencils and painted them and then sewed the pillow. I tried to take a picture of it but she used white paint on some parts and it does not show up on the camera. It has a place of honor on our bed. She has her nose in a book most of the time and will be starting 5th grade.
Danny enjoys his job at Edge Manafacturing and has gotten compliments from the boss of how good he is doing! I am so proud of him! We are very thankful for his job! He is also doing some extra landscaping jobs as well.
Iam a busy homemaker, nurse,taxi-driver,dietician,book reader, referee and problem solver as are all mommies! I am also still selling Pampered Chef if anyone needs anything or wants to have a party! LOL! God is good and has given us many blessings! Enjoy the pictures.......
All 4 watching a movie. Notice how the 3 youngest

Abby grinning for all she is worth!

Playing horsey!
So many things can be made with a box! Boat?

They had a lot of fun!
