It’s been more than a year since I’ve blogged. Life has been full of really crazy up and downs and I’ve needed the downtime. But I’ve missed blogging! I have no idea if I’ll keep up with the ol’ blog or not, but for today, here goes.
The kids are still wild and woolly.
Seriously, there’s never a dull or quiet moment around here.
And guess what? We’re adding to the chaos come March. We couldn’t possibly be more excited about this little expansion project. I’m currently the main one doing the expanding.
In a year, Truxton has completely mastered reading, and more importantly in his book, collected hundreds of frogs.
This summer we’ve discovered that Kinsley has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, and we are learning to cope with that development. In other news, she finished The Lord of The Rings since last summer. Now, if we could only master some basic addition, I’d be thrilled.
Sophie has polished up her reading skills, and blossomed into the general ring leader of all miscellaneous children. Her younger two siblings constantly look to her for inspiration and guidance. It’s scary I tell ya.
Gillian is still basically her sweet, easy going self. Except when she’s not. Then boy, can she be rotten. I swear that we skip the terrible twos, but pay for it at age three. She’s begging to learn to read, because being the only non-reader in a family is just way too hard on a person’s psyche. And she’s getting it, actually. So by next year all the kids should be readers.
Wait, no. I forgot about Baby X. Who, by the way, purports to be a girl.
Yeah. You can pray for us.
