Jake discovered himself in the mirror in March. I was attempting to get a picture of his full size legs. He is a snuggle bug. I read that maybe babies who demand so much holding are to teach moms to slow down. I've come to a near stop with Jake I have short bursts of activity followed by hours of meeting his demands.
Andrea at the shop with Lexi and Harold. She is a cutey as well independent nowadays and very imaginative.
Oh my Bruce. Raised by Reed to be a no nonsense tough guy not a "Baby." He's strong and capable and funny to listen to. HE gets things on a deep level and knows the gospel. Here he's clearing weeds to burn. He can do most things I'm always impressed how the younger ones just step up or are pulled up by the older ones.
Our spring has been inviting to work outside. Afton is working to cover the peas Andrea and Alia planted we are still waiting to see them come up but it was a hope filled evening when we planted rows of peas and beets.
At home we had a good stretch of school for Merle and Andrea. Coloring is much more fun but more engaging than constantly practicing writing. So I would draw pictures for them to color.
Some we shared and some just enjoyed here. I love artprojectsforkids.com. I have followed her tutorials for years and have been successful enough the kids knew what I drew to color it correctly.
We were doing so well then life happened. So again we shall try to get Merle reading and counting confidently. The writing is much harder for him. He's my youngest son to go to school. I know these tasks take time. So we wait and work at it little by little. Life is good and full of Mr. Jake's demands or cries it's my choice which I listen to. We are blessed.
