quick update

Instead of boring you with my frustration and disappointment over not reaching our original listing date, I shall regal you with what else has been happening in our lives.

Abi is participating in an indoor softball league.  She has showed promise as a catcher (just like her dad and grandma) and gets to attend a special catchers clinic before the Saturday practices.  She has also earned the loving nickname of Abi the Animal after hitting 8 pitches in a row from the machine.

Lizzi has taught herself how to crochet.  She has also shown skills in drawing and has been enrolled in an art class to start this month.

Wesley has ample time during our school hours to engage in imaginary play and frequently builds towers with blocks or forts with pillows and blankets.  Yesterday as I was placing Craisins on his plate he asked when I would go grocery shopping and buy some real fruit.

Miles can walk well when he chooses to, although he hasn't figured out how to stand up directly from the floor yet.  Last night he helped me with the laundry by pulling his diapers out of the washer, walked to the dryer and threw them in.

Phil had the privilege of being interviewed for the Grand Island Independent last week.  Although he was a nervous wreck, he did a fine job demonstrating what Financial Literacy looks like for his class.

I was asked to serve on the Library's Early Literacy Focus Board to help enhance the Library's service to the community.  Tonight is the first meeting.  I'm really excited to see what ideas the other members are bringing to the table.

Next week we start the homeschooling coop classes which we've all been looking forward to since the beginning of the year!
