Updates

Life has been busy around here, imagine that!
We celebrated Aubrey's 6th birthday at the end of April with family and friends. She is really enjoying her new "girl" bike from Grandma and Pa.
The babies and I went through a sudden unplanned weaning about 3 weeks ago and everyone has adapted well, even me!! Although I am not sure what is going to happen with my hormones not nursing or being pregnant for the first time in 8 years!
Speaking of the babies, they have some new tricks up their sleeves lately and are usually working in tandem. Check out this picture that happened as I was tending to one of the older children:


Orion has taken his physical talents to a new level as he now dropkicks a ball and dribbles a soccer and basketball. He never ceases to amaze me as last night in the tub he climbed on the ledge while holding onto the safety bar and immediately proceeded to have a BM, this follows his technique last week where he shot to a standing position in the tub to have a BM. I wonder what this means for potty training???
Amittai entertains us with his fake laugh and his constant chatter. He has decided he LOVES milk and asks for it all day. He has also decided if he raises his hand and says "me" when I ask a question of anyone, he will get milk. He is adorable!!

Elijah has decided he wants to start doing school so he has been enjoying practicing writing his numbers on a wet erase number book and singing letter sounds. He loves being outside and is looking forward to this weekend when the rain is supposed to stop and warmer weather should arrive.
Anika and I had some "mommy time" this week when she accompanied me to a local high school for two presentations I was giving. She was amazed by the number of kids in the lunch area when we walked in and she was even asked a couple of questions by the students.
Both girls have been enjoying their time with the piano and amaze me how quickly they learn and sit down to practice randomly.
Shawn's new clinic space opened last week and he is enjoying the fresh environment. Now the search is on for the right people to join them and fill it.
More to come later...
