A year gone by

Where did it go. I can only see remnants of it in photographs. The speed of time must go faster the longer you are on the ride.

It was a year ago today I gave birth to Ezra. Its been a pretty crazy year for us and I wish I hadn't been so distracted. I am grateful that I was able to bring him to work with me and that we were able to, and still are, breastfeeding.

Peeps Sunflower Cake

Abigail is my little baker. She loves to cook, esp treats.

We saw this and she had to make one

So she did, with just a little help from me.

Family Update

We have settled into our new home. I have just one tote to unpack and sort. After the journey of the past 7 mos, its nice to settle in a bit.

For those that aren't aware we closed the shop in January. We had a huge loss of business and then with the move the added commute was a burden. I am home with the children full time and I am currently seeking a few work at home ideas. I have some up my sleeve.. stay tuned :)

Joe is continuing his college classes. He is working part time for a local school. He is running an afterschool program for at risk teens. His dream job. Working with young men and women. He has also been hired on as management at Burger King. This means we aren't seeing him very much. He is either gone or studying.

The children are doing great. We have been fine tuning our curriculum. They are excited for the next several weeks of lessons.

Jacob has been ordained a Deacon. He is very proud of this. He is growing up so quickly. Quinten is really becoming quite the handyman. Abigail has been really displaying her artistic talents. She is currently working on an alphabet book, drawing the letters and coordinating pictures. Isaac is like a sponge. He really soaks everything in and is usually the last one doing school work. Not because he is slow but because he wants to do more. Zachary is extremely affectionate and attached to me. He loves anything he can do on the computer. He has several online school lessons but he really seems to like his typing one.  Olivia is also excited for school lessons and letters. She is also very very very very mothering, and smothering to Ezra. I cant keep her off him. He enjoys it most days, but you can tell when he has had enough of her. Urijah is really picking up alot. He is communicating better and uses those skills most, to tattle. He  has become quite adept at using scissors. A little too scissor happy as well. I have a large stack of papers for him to keep his hands busy. Ezra has decided not to crawl. He likes to scoot on his but and has attempted standing this week. He will be a year old in less than a month, oh how time flies.

There's a quick update :)

Abigail

Abigail is such a wonderful daughter. She is very talented and loves art and cooking. She recently got interested watching  Paula Dean video clips. I enjoy how unique and girly she is. In a house of boys and non girly girls ( Olivia and myself) she holds on to that feminine side of pink and bows and sparkly stuff. She has a big heart.
