Life is busy, and I appologize that I have let so much time go by... We are all well. Tayla has really injoyed pre-school and we are working on counting to 20. She gets to 12 ok but misses 14, 17, 18 often. We count while walking to and from school, this distracts her from her "legs being tired." I know that by my counting to 20 a million times that she will suddenly get it... She likes church but wants me to walk her to her class after sharing time is over, she comes over to me lots and I threaten to take her to her dad if she doesn't stay in her seat, Just one more hug and kiss she will say... Her and Esther can play so well together at times and then suddenly crying and telling on the other occurs. Tonight before we read bed time stories I explained to them that I didn't want to hear it again. That if Tayla does something to Esther then Esther has to tell me about it and if Esther does something to Tayla then Esther has to tell me. I also told them that I want to hear more "Esther let me play with her doll" or "Tayla gave me a hug." I am not expecting miracles, but hoping for some improvement.
Esther is in the top reading group in her class, she is picking up on reading so well, I am so grateful to her because I needed some success after the struggle of my boys... She loves her teacher and is making friends, her best friend is a boy named Tanner, gonna have to keep an eye on this one...
Malachi is into swimming this month. He wants to head to the community indoor pool as often as he can, which is just weekends, although he still whines everyday to be able to go... He is a great kid, still into the hair and clothes. It has been a hard school year for him academically. He has a girl in his class that he likes also...
Elijah is finally getting things together, I still have to keep after him, but he is doing much better. He gave a talk today in Sacrament Meeting, he wrote it himself, I did coach him, but he did it himself. He did a great job and didn't look nervous...
Scott works long hours and so we see less of him. We had a family date on Friday, took the kids to dinner. We try to do that once a month.
I am busy with the house, we are remodling and the kitchen is in chaos. We have moved cabnits and counters around, tore down a wall to open it up to the living room, and this last weekend removed the carpet and remaining linolium to put down a wood floor. Hopefully the new formica will arrive this week and I will continue to paint...
Life is good....
I will try to post some photos soon...
