Final Week and updates

Well, we've approached it. The week that once seemed like it was so far off from now. The LAST week of school. Our Leah will officially be done with First grade! How did this happen? Where did the time go? I was giving a lesson to my Sunbeam class yesterday, and in preparation for doing so, I recalled giving the same exact lesson to Leah's Sunbeam class from 3 years ago and it seemed so fresh in my mind. It's hard to believe that she will be 7 in just a couple of weeks. Over these last nearly 7 years she has taught me so much about being a parent and has helped to inspire me to want to do better things and be a better person. Leah had her first piano recital this last Saturday. She played 'Big Ben' and 'Old MacDonald'. She did well and we're very proud of her.

Jacob and Noah are both so much fun. Jake's favorite thing to play with right now is his Little People set paired with his dinosaurs. He likes to pretend play that the Little People and the dinosaurs all co-habitat happily together. Also, it's no big surprise but when it comes to his learning, his favorite subject is obviously Science. He loves doing experiments and discovering how different variables will effect the outcome of things. Noah is starting to learn how to pray. He has folded his arms and bowed his head and will usually say "amen". He also loves to lead the music when he hears people singing.

I think that sickness is finally making its exit from our family. Over the last month things have been miserable around here. The kids have been sick with colds and coughs. I have had a cold, Laryngitis, Pink Eye, and most recently some weird throat issue, and Jason has had a pretty bad case of Strep throat with prolonged fevers. I'm so sick of sick!

There are only a couple more weeks until our Indiana trip! Time really is flying by. We can't wait!!!
