 We are officially going face to face now. Calvin loves ms Martha. He had a hard time the first week but figured things out. Last week he was even student of the week.

Emily is loving going to her specials and being with kids her age. 

Max is loving his new school riding the bus and his new teacher. The change in him is crazy I feel he is excited about everything.

Soccer has started so we have crazy weeks and weekends now but I like watching them work hard. Emily is trying hard to be midfield.

Cora is sitting up and crawls backward and kind of forward a few crawls and stops and sits down. 

Reward for being awesome

Calvin is getting better at swimming he can swim across without his floaties.

Holly turned three this month. She is growing up so much and one smart cookie. She loves let it go shopping and ballet. For her birthday we went to the zoo and invited her cousin's not in school to come over and have holly approved food. The weekend before she asked grandma to take her. Shopping. It was an adventure. She picked out let it go shoes and a new dress as well as a puzzle. That is all she wanted for her birthday. Are grateful for all the gifts she received and love her and All her crazy.

School started and life is crazy. We are three weeks into virtual school and we have some sort of rhythm. Still weird to be doing google meets and have so much time on the computer. Calvin started pk at garland classical, max at hillside for 2nd grade and Emily in fourth. In crazy news Calvin won a chromebook from the library from summer reading program.

Almost over

 School is getting ready to start. So we are finishing up some fun things this summer. We have been swimming, visitors, hiking, the lake, we went to the zoo, and my favorite playing in the rain. It has been fun i am a little nervous with the whole online anything. Cora can sit up now and has started solid food. Holly started up ballet.  Everyone else just wishes they could be in school.

Trying to keep ourselves busy. We have been riding bikes a lot, swimming, walking and just trying to keep cool. Calvin has learned to ride without training wheels, Cora is chatting more and scoots around the room on her bsck, Emily is getting faster and faster at running, holly is crazy she painted her nails at quiet time dumped out pop corn kernels see pic below and hides stuff. Crazy girl. Max is enjoying more freedom and is learning all about animals. Max and Emily both did coding summer school this year and loved it.

Hello June

The end of may we are out of quarantine and starting to have fun. We have gone to the lake a few times. Grammy and Papa visited. Also we were able to go to the zoo last week. In bad news our pool ripped and it is super HOT. So we will be very creative to cool down. We have a tire swing now thanks to papa helping Jason. Overall life is good.
