If you are happy and you know it.....

Clap your hands!!!!

Things are a changin' around here.  And by changin' I mean the kiddos are growin'.  Sagey claps his hands like a pro now.  And after tonight's dinner I KNOW he knows what "all done means."  As I was feeding him squash (not his favorite) he was yelling at me and then frantically started signing "all done!"  So cute!  For the sake of reinforcing language development Sage was let off the hook on eating his squash.  :)

And then there's my Aiden.  This week there has been many a sign that he is growing too. I sold the double jogging stroller that I thought I would love so much.  I did love it, but Aiden never rode in it.  As soon as I bought it he started riding a bike and declared himself too big for the stroller...unless of course his feet hurt. :)  That is just one of the many things that have changed this week telling me that my nearly 4.5 year old is growing up.  And he's growing up to be a really sweet, polite and responsible little man at that.  Two darling boys.  Even if they don't stay little forever I couldn't ask for more.  God is good. All. The. Time.

I feel the same way. It's crazy how fast they all are growing up, 100% bittersweet! Elyse doesn't ever ride in the stroller either, she prefers riding her bike too.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
