Last Sunday afternoon 13 kids and some of our dear friends (the parents of those kids) tromped through the woods to Riley Moore Falls. We had a great trip! The weather was perfect. Of course, my child was the only one to fall completely in and get soaked so that was a soggy, whiny walk out! It was mid-70's and the falls were beautiful after the snow/rain we had the week before! I took some shovels and buckets and the kids had fun digging in the sand around the falls. We took our shoes off and felt the sand between our toes, the cold water rushing, and got some sun on our faces--it was REFRESHING! I hope we can do it again one day. We are immensely blessed to live in a place that is so beautiful!
Jeb had his first Popsicle of the season and he was thrilled.
We are still doing our reading lessons most days. We are on 28/100--wow--it is really a test of my patience and his ability to sit still for about 25 mins and FOCUS. It has been rough lately. He is doing well when he is trying to read the story each day, but during the actual sounding out words that stand alone he is seriously bucking the process. At this point, though, Jonas and I are not going to let him quit whether he learns to read or not he is learning self-control and self-discipline---JUST AS IF NOT MORE--important!
We walked over to see Mr. Ray and Mrs. Shirley today and Jeb ate M and M's and played outside with them. They enjoyed seeing how big Caleb's belly is getting and seeing him walk around.
Sarah is doing well and it still super-tiny...but she can destroy about as much as Bailey.
We got a golf cart--more on that in a separate post. I have not let the wheels stop turning for long! Fun stuff.
