Okay, so it's been a while since I last posted. A thousand pardons......but there has been a lot going on lately!
To start with, Zachary had a red letter day at school today! His day started off with a smiley face this morning for doing his papers correctly last Tuesday. Yeah for Zac!! But the very exciting thing is that he was moved up to the red reading group (the middle group)!!!! We are so proud of Zachary working hard on his reading and showing so much improvement since the beginning of the year. Here's Zachary's quote for the day (said while he, Justin and Aaron were cleaning up their balls in the living room), "Justin, don't pick up the balls you can see; pick up the balls that you can't see!!"
Justin also had quite a start to his day. We were the second car in car line this morning, and as the car in front of us exited the line, I started to move slowly forward. Well, Justin caught sight of Sara Kate and opened the car door to jump out while the car was moving!!!!! I snagged the back of his jacket as I hit the brakes and we managed to avert any potential disaster. Needless to say, I think he missed Sara Kate over Thanksgiving break! He said they had a fun day at school and played together at play time.
Aaron has been his cute little self today. In fact, I told him this evening that if he got any cuter I'd have to send him back. He told me "You don't send me back. I Aaron; I stay here." :) According to Aaron, our dinner was "some getti" (anyone want to guess?), and he ate lots of it! Aaron also spread his pants out on the floor to put them on and told me "It's [the pants] like a swimming pool!" When I asked him why, he replied "You just dive in!" Too much!
Caleb has been crawling and exploring all over the house. Unlike the other boys, he seems to like having something in his mouth constantly. He spent the better part of the evening crawling around the kitchen with a washcloth hanging from his mouth. He was perfectly happy - snorting and giggling. Other objects that he enjoys carrying in his mouth are his small stuffed squeaky frog and pieces of plastic food from the play kitchen. It is really cute to watch; I guess when we took the pacifier away, he came up with his own versions!
And for the last piece of news, for those of you who may not know, we are excited to announce that we are expecting Baby #5 in July! It will be a while before we find out this baby's gender (or in other words, confirm that he is a boy! :), but we are eagerly anticipating this little one's arrival. It will add a very new dimension to our household since Caleb and Baby will be only 15 months apart. We were VERY surprised since we were not even thinking about thinking about trying to get pregnant, and in fact were trying NOT to get pregnant, so this one truly is God's timing! We'll keep you posted on how things are going for Mommy and Baby! :)
