It's been forever....we know

Wow! It has been a lot longer than we wanted.

Here is a small update before dinner time!

The Elf and Ladybug are participating in Track and Field. Elf continues to throw the discus and Ladybug is still running forever. Yesterday she ran SEVEN miles!!!!! Pooch is cheerleading for Upward. She is a very good cheerleader and is REALLY enjoying it. Princess is, well, still acting like a princess. She is developing her English fast. During the girls school time she is often found listening to the Elf's new iPod. Her favorite song is Elijah, a parody of Elvira. She walks around singing it. Today she began to dance! We filmed it!

Mom and Dad are still doing well. Mom is getting more and more organized after China! It is very difficult to keep a 3 year old busybody and help three other girls on school! She is doing a great job at it though!

So that is our short update!

Oh!!!! Forgot this little thing! We are now a Mac family (Thanks Berrys)! We now own a Mac computer and 5 of the 6 people in our family own iPods. We are ALL enjoying our new "toys." (Elf especailly...now she doesn't use up 2 batteries in a day for a personal CD player!) It's a good thing we got that computer because our other one is, well, mostly dead. We need some help. None of us is what you might call "computer saavy." Oh, well. One day we'll have both up and running.

Pictures soon, we hope. We've got a few new ones of the Pooch cheering and our fun Unit Celebration with the co-op....the Medieval Feast. What fun...stay tuned.

Post Script from Mom: The kids REALLY do use those new toys to keep focused on school...drowns out other noise, you know. Also, we've discovered www.librivox.org...FREE audio recordings of many favorite books. Check it out!
