Morgan Faith at 17 weeks

Morgan is a very content girl, who so far is quiet, and just watches all the commotion around her. Trying cereal~ she didn't care for it
Trying to roll, and drooling everywhere

The kids love playing outside in the water, it may be October but it's still hot here.

Homeschooling 101

Many people have asked how school was going for us so I thought I would share what our days consist of. We start school at 9:00~ we are using Abeka DVD's and each of the girls has a desk and DVD player in their rooms. Morgan hangs out in her bouncy seat until we get things going, I pretty much bring her room to room with me ( I don't know what we will do when she gets mobile.) Micah loves Peter pan so he will sit and watch it until Mackenzie is through with school. Mackenzie is usually done in 2 hours so then the two of them go play together, and yes he watches Peter Pan everyday~ he loves it that much! Maddy takes a lot longer to do school, so we usually have lunch at noon and then she gets to play until Micah goes down for his nap at 1:30 and then she finishes school. Nap time is my favorite time of day, because sadly this is when I get my shower. The girls pretty much want me watching there every move so school is my life until the afternoon. I took a few pictures of the kids during a normal school day and you will be able to see why I have to be right there with them, one kid just can't be still. I love Peter Pan!
This is how I found Mackenzie doing school~ she is a clown and can't sit still!
How she is supposed to be sitting
Maddy trying so hard to do well in penmenship, this is the only area she struggles in other than that she gets A's.

Thanks Miss Heather.....

for the real cute hairbows that my mom finally put in my hair! Now I can go to Church looking cute! My first pair of shoes!

Mackenzie

She was supposed to be cleaning her room, when I didn't hear anything for awhile I went to check on her and she was sound asleep. Notice the jammies are on under her dress. She eventually woke up and it took a long time to clean the mess.

FROGS

Micah loves to go outside and catch the frogs that we seem to have in abundance. He had a really big one but it got away before I could get a picture. Where did he go?
There he goes..... needless to say this frog did not survive the many drops and was dead the next morning.

Thumb Sucker

It's been hard to blog lately with homeschooling and just having all the kids underfoot, but I thought I would show how big Morgan has gotten. She has tons of rolls, but she is a cutie~ she is starting to "talk" to us and loves to smile. She also has a new trick ~ Sucking her thumb! She was so tired, but worked very hard to get her thumb.
A little closer.....
Wait I think I've got it......
Yep, I have my thumb and can hold on to my hair too!

Dr. Visits

I took all the kids to the Dr. today for their well-baby/child visits. We also started homeschooling today. School went well~ Mackenzie was a little bored, as she said, "I all ready know all this stuff." Hopefully it will get a little harder for her so she stays interested. Here are pictures of the kids and there statistics. (For Nana's benefit)

Madeline age 7 is 51 in. tall and weighs 56 pounds
Mackenzie is 5 years old and is 44 in. tall and weighs 44 pounds. Micah is age 2~36 inches tall and weighs 30 pounds.
Morgan is 9 weeks old as is a PIG!!! She weighs 13.9 pounds and is only 22 inches!

Something to play with!

We are happy to announce....................

that Mackenzie asked Jesus into her heart last night! Now we just have two more kids to go~ we also need to work on the idea of baptism with both the girls.

Swinging High

Micah loved the tire swing, I didn't get a picture of the girls, but there Goppy would swing them so high I couldn't watch~ I was certain someone was going to get hurt. Whee~ higher Daddy
