Week in Review

Last week was a pretty normal week. We are in a groove of activities and there is not a lot of variation from week to week. We do our schoolwork, go to co-op, Bessie has a piano lesson, the little girls did have their last week of soccer, Dan has speech three times a week and we have various church activities. We try and add one or two things each week to make things interesting...maybe a field trip or family outing.

The boys love horsing around with Brian

Gabe and Dan are developing a great relationship. Dan just loves Gabe and thinks he does the coolest things. Gabe is learning to be patient with Dan and appreciate the fact that even though he is little, Dan likes to play rough, something the girls do not enjoy. I know as Dan gets a bit bigger, their brotherhood will only grow stronger.

Gabe and Dan love the PlayDoh

We are doing a Pocket Literature Guide this fall. It is on several Caldecott winners. Rachel and Gabe are enjoying it a lot. I am also finding it fun to do. This is a winner for us and I am already looking into a few more of these guides to use after we are finished with this one.
