August 2011

Do you remember these kids??? Yup, that is Eli and Ephraim, the first day of school. I know, seeing them here on the blog - or seeing anything on this blog - seems like a mirage. (BTW - don't ask me why they are making weird faces. Something about this age requires them to look goofy in every picture.)


My fifth grader. Middle school is next year. Aack!


Third grade already. And boy does he have the attitude to go with it.


They have been back to school for just over 2 weeks now and Ephraim has already missed two days of school. He has a yucky cough and cold. They are also going to miss a week of school so we can go to Utah; we are off to a stellar start. One of the things I hate hate hate about school is attendance. Yes, I get it that they need to be in school. Yes, I understand that the school loses money if the kids are habitually gone. But there is so much more I would rather do whenever the mood strikes us than school. I really should homeschool these boys, but they just aren't interested.

Other things happening? Well, Irene turns 1 in two more days. I am so surprised that this year has gone so fast. Also, most of you already also know this but we are expecting another babe in late winter/early spring. I have been feeling good, just tired. I want to sleeeeeeep. Seriously. Sleep right now sounds divine.

I am going to try and document more on here. I need to stay off of Facebook in order for that to happen. Ask Renee - Facebook kills blogs.

Taking your boys on adventures IS schooling them!

Being with their extended family IS building their core of self. It is a priceless part of their growth.

And, they are obviously cute enough to miss school!

Nice to see you posting :-)
