Let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! Psalm 95:2

Spent this week snapping everyday pictures of our schooling lives. Part of Minki's experience here is that he attends Brunswick High School where Chris teaches. I borrowed one of Minki's pictures from the soccer game. Rebekah and Caleb hit midterm last week. Grades were an S+ average for both. Work needs to be done in

 

 

each and they are buckling down. Elijah is excelling in math and is beginning his reading program. He is so excited. Unfortunately Language Arts time coincides with Jessica's "tired" part of the day, but now Elijah says, "It's not sleeping time, Mama, it's reading time!" We slipped up to the Dustins to dig some potatoes.

Haddie is all about her walking. Caleb lamented Sunday that "Haddie never crawls anymore." She loves carrying things with her and excels at taking something from the first floor to the second floor. We found the battery charger pack up there this week. She plays the cymbals. Haddie
loves the pets. She fed herself with a spoon. She picked potatoes and Haddie found the toilet paper. Oh and she brings everyone much JOY.

 Elijah is growing in leaps and bounds in all areas. The coloring has exploded. The math skills are above par, way above par. He is able to concentrate longer. He is putting in an almost 4 hour school day! He has been getting along particularly well with Rebekah, praise God and has taken to Minki like brothers should. He still loves to cook with Mama.

Caleb is excelling in his social studies again but we rejoice in his new found interest in science. He is Hadassah's friend and giggle machine. We're not sure who giggles more.

Elijah's in the tunnel too.

 Rebekah loves Minki bunches. She has been extremely respectful this week. Rebekah is our born leader and often assumes that role asked or unasked. Her math skills are solidifying at the 3rd grade level. She is such a help with her baby sister.  

Minki gets a lot of mail. We laugh as package after package arrives. One day there were 3 packages for him! He is settling in at school and making friends. He enjoys taking in the varsity field sports. The starting quarterback at BHS has taken Minki under his wing and they hang together at girls' varsity soccer games. His studies are improving and his English gets better by the day. He has found two friends at our home church also.
