Well it has been way too long since we have added anything to our blog but a lot has been happening. First of all at the beginning of the year our Mom in New Mexico had broken her ankle and we had to go to New Mexico to help her recover. It was a good 6 weeks, but it was also hard to be away from home that long. It was also nice because we were able to see all the Chris' brothers and sisters. It had been over 10 years since they had been all together in a single place. So it was nice being able to see so much family. Luckily, Chris was able to work out of the Farmington office and so he didn't end up missing any work either. We had some neat experiences as we tried to help life get to normal for Chris' parents. Homeschooling also made it easier although we weren't able to get much done there.
After coming back, we worked on trying to get our lives back together. Our house had been watched by some neighbors but the trip came up all of a sudden and so our house wasn't in the best of condition. Jen also began homeschooling again with the kids and we have been really pleased with Peter's progress. There were things that Peter had been struggling with and he came back and suddenly was really good at them. He has been improving on his writing and has been doing good sounding out words. Sam continues to be really interested in animals, especially turtles and Opossums, and in New Mexico he discovered the wonders of rocks. Joe continued to copy his brothers whenever he can. Will is now a super faster crawler and over the last week we have caught him letting go of things and taking a few steps.
Peter and Sam also had a dentist appointment and yeah no cavities! Will also had several check-ups since he turned a year in New Mexico. We'll have to try and post some pictures of his cake. He also had to have in-patient procedure done to unclog his tear ducts which is the same thing Peter also had. He did well except he didn't like being strapped down when they did it. I don't blame him not liking them sticking a long probe down the side of hie eye (YIKES!). Joe also had a birthday party last week and had fun making super-hero capes with his brothers and a few friends. He also had fun finding Easter eggs afterwards.
Well, we will probably be making some more entries to catch up but this is all for now.
