Who needs an Olympic size pool?

Our last day of April was filled to the brim! Monday morning housework, a visit from our friends, schoolwork, playing in the water, taking dinner to our other friends, cleaning out more at Mimi’s house, a late night front porch picnic for dinner, washing feet in the tub and jumping into bed!

Goodbye April! Hello May!

this and that

What a mess Parker makes EVERY time he eats!

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember.
The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

super jonah!

Jonah is 7 months old! Chris has started to call him super Jonah because he is already sitting up unassisted and starting to crawl. He can also get from his belly to sitting, has 3 bottom teeth and his top 2 are breaking through. Long story short he’s growing way too fast! None of our babies sat up or crawled this fast.  He still has a super sweet personality and seems so content unless he’s hungry or tired. He will play on the floor or in his johnny-jumper for a really long time without complaining. Of course, anytime he makes a grumpy sound the other 4 kiddos are jumping up to talk to him and play with him. They get so excited every time he reaches a new milestone. I think it’s just as amazing to them that he has changed so much so fast.

Nature Study–Part 2

 We took a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park today! It was a wonderful experience. Even though Parker and Jonah are still so young, it was worth the work to go on this field trip. We picked up some Junior Ranger workbooks that will help us focus on certain aspects and areas of the park.  We are blessed to be this close to one of the most beautiful places in America.

Jonah – 6 Months

My last little guy turned 6 months old today.  It’s definitely a bittersweet time.  He is a really happy baby.  He’s gaining weight and rolling all over the place.  He’s gotten his 2 bottom teeth.  He loves watching his older siblings and they dote on him.  Foster feels pretty comfortable carrying him around and Katie will hold him if she’s sitting. Theodore and Parker try their best to make him laugh by making funny faces and jumping around him.  I feel so blessed that he’s healthy and growing normally.  He is still nursing well, so for now, I won’t even think about the time when that might end.

I stole the 3 beautiful things idea from here. I was inspired to find 3 beautiful things in my world. What’s beautiful in yours?

Rolling over, cutting his first tooth, smiling, laughing, trying some infant cereal…growing too FAST.
But, I guess that’s what you say when they’re the LAST!
