Elsie is growing up, up, up. She loves to read big books and is very fast. We took her to the library to ask a librarian for a recommendation of what books to read next she has an exciting mix.
She also just had a birthday (Birthday hugs from the brothers).
Elsie just finished 3rd grade. She has loved school and did very well. She loves her teacher and will miss her. Her teacher is so creative and gets the kids excited to learn. We hope next year's teacher will be just as good.
She joined a choir that practices before school one day each week she had 4 performances so far and gets to perform on the 4th of July. My favorite was when they performed "Rockin' Robin."
Cy, just finished 1st grade. Way to go smart-e-pants. He did well and loved his teacher.
He loves exploring the great outdoors and loves animals. We just got chickens for the kids. It is funny because Elsie's chicken acts like the Mom and Cy's chicken pecks the others, their personalities are matched. Yesterday we caught a garter snake in a bucket and while I was afraid to pick it up. Cy played with it, no sweat.
Happy Birthday Cy, what a haul $$$.
Andrew:
Andrew is always talking and always moving. He has his share of mishaps too. Here he got in to a tussel with Caleb's head, poor kid.
Andrew loved Pre-school. He likes to make up stories but always starts or fnishes them by saying that Miss Alby (his teacher) says so, so it is a fact.
He also learned to read this spring and got to go to raging waters to celebrate his literacy.
Andrew likes bugs, one day in church I found that he had smuggled in a June Bug, that he played with all of the first hour.

I hope you decided to adopt one of the bugs or the snake!
Here it is the end of August and I just barely read your blog. So don't give up on comments and go back and read old ones once in a while. I think you have the best family ever. It's a good thing I can say that about all of our kids kids. Great photos and lots of personality in the writing too. Love you, Mom
