I have missed blogging. I spend my time playing with the kids, watching Wesley do his homework, taking Lydia to ballet and gymnastics, and chasing after Josiah who is getting into EVERYTHING. I also spend a lot of time cleaning the house, but you can't really tell! (I find that very frustrating!) I have also joined a bookclub and I am loving the book we are reading -
A Lineage of Grace: Five Stories of Unlikely Women Who Changed Eternity Every Monday through Thursday, Wesley usually has two pages of math homework. Yesterday he had three pages. Two pages where problems like 7 + _ = 10. He got every problem right.
He also has a spelling test every Friday and a Bible verse and poem to recite from memory. He also has to read aloud for at least 20 minutes a day. Last week he read
Escape North! The Story of Harriet Tubman over two nights. He is currently ready book two in the Magic Tree House series.

Lydia likes to practice her "spelling" too.

Here is Wesley's latest spelling test. He spelled all the words correctly but I wish he used better handwriting. He does better at home because he knows I will erase it and make him write it neater.

While Wesley does his homework, Josiah likes to get into stuff.

Yesterday, he played with some boxes he found in the pantry.

He hit the jackpot when he dumped out the Cheerios box.

Josiah loves to eat. The other Saturday, he ate an entire homemade pancake.

He loves to pull up to standing but he needs a low surface, like the open dishwasher.

Every time I try to take a picture of Josiah sitting in floor, he immediately starts crawling to me.

Wesley likes to push Josiah around in this basket. Josiah thinks it is a great ride!

Wesley recently started playing soccer. He loves it.

Lydia loves to draw.
When Chris went to Donuts for Dads at her school, some of her artwork was hanging up in her classroom.

That is just a few of the things we have been doing.

YAY! You guys are having a great school year! I have missed your posts. Lydia is quite the little artist. I am sneaking away from homework for a minute to comment here...gotta get back because J1 is now finding hw optional! YIKES!
Wow, all the kids are doing great. Of course! Wesley is so smart! And Josiah is so big--oh my goodness, I can't believe it. I hope you post more b/c I don't want to miss them so much. :)
Busy, busy- especially when the third one becomes mobile:) I am impressed with Wesley school skills!
I've missed your updates! Josiah is getting so big! I remember that age so well. Cute but so into everything. Hate to say it (and you already know it) but it doesn't get better until 3ish :).
Sounds like Wesley is doing a great job with school. It's a lot of work!
Still waiting for Landon to get out of the "getting into everything" phase! Now he can just reach higher and doors mean nothing to him. Missed your posts...welcome back! ;)
