News

1. I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a boy.
2. We are moving to California at the end of July (no job change).
3. Elizabeth is potty trained (a family record at 2.5)
4. Camille is 5 and getting ready for kindergarten. I'm trying to teach her to read and having a hard time finding the time because
5. Spencer and I are doing K12 (online public homeschool) first grade so I can try to get him to skip into second this fall. Why? Because in CA the cutoff for school is December! I held him back in Kindergarten, so he will be 6 months older than the oldest child in the class. I will be very upset if all the time and energy this is taking doesn't result in my having a second grader.

I've been on the couch for two hours trying to work up the motivation for nightly clean-up. The only reason good I can think for getting up is chocolate ice cream.

Big things! Good luck with all of it. We really hope to see you again soon. Honestly, my kids ask me everyday about when they can be with their cousins.

Hey congrats Emily! What fun (and a lot of) news! Where exactly in CA? Hope you're feeling well. I'm not preggo, but also think the only good reason for getting up is ice cream. :)

Congrats on the new baby...that is very exciting. I bet Spencer is excited to be getting a little brother. What part of California are you moving to? I hope things go well...moving when you're pregnant is never fun. I'm going to try my best to avoid doing that again.

You are super busy! Congrats on another baby...that is so exciting for Spencer to have a brother. I hope all of your hard work with Spencer pays off. I can't believe Kens and Camille will be in Kindergarten, crazy! She still misses Camille so much, I wish they were going to school together. I need to get going on potty training Cade. I am so behind on everything with him. He still has his binkie and doesn't seem too excited about potty training. My goal was to do it all this summer. I guess that isn't happening. California will be so much fun. We would love to come and visit sometime. Good luck with everything! We need to chat soon. We miss you guys!
