Family Photo: Act 1

 

2nd Grade

Oh 2nd grade. It was an interesting year! Maybe it's the fact that in Macie's three short years of school she has been in three schools and had so many different friends. Or maybe it's just my dramatic daughter. But, the friend situation was an everychanging and ongoing battle! One day she would come home and tell us who her friends were an then next they weren't. But then the next they were. Girls. But Macie absolutely loved her teacher Ms. Ballein. I have a feeling that she was teacher's pet! When we went to open house the only things on her desk and bulletin board were things that Macie had given her. But maybe Macie was the only one to give her things? I don't know. But Macie loved second grade and is ready for third. Wow. My chubby chubby baby is now a 3rd grader??

3rd grade

And Noah's now a 4th grader. I can't believe it, really! When did he get so old?? This school has been his third school. Hopefully we can stick around for a little longer! He loved school this year, but also found his socialness. It's good and bad. But, whatever. He loved his teacher Mrs. Sanders. He was the top reader in his entire class with the highest reading level, which was 5.2-6.7. He's reading longer chapter books and actually comprehends what he's reading and can tell you about it and takes tests. Something that I can't do! He's an awesome kid!

My five.

Sometimes I have to pinch my self when I think about the fact that I have FIVE kids. Five! I love each of them so much and wouldn't change anything. But, sometimes it's a little surreal! They make me crazy, they make me cry, they make me happy, and they make life so much better!

A SUNBEAM!

Every Family Home Evening {which sometimes happens on Mondays, but sometimes happens on Thursdays or whenever we can fit in...} we sing an opening and a closing song. Avila insists on leading the music for at least, but usually both songs every single time! This week she chose Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam. She knows every word, and sings with such enthusiasm.;-) But not only does she sing, she leaps in the air everytime the word "Sunbeam" is said, you know, like pretty much every kid in Primary! She catches some air, too! I think a video would have been better, but the pictures are pretty great!
